In the spirit of reflecting on the year in piracy, let's take a moment to recognize the Scene and it's resilience in light of law enforcement. They've been going strong for almost 30 years now with hardly any arrests of any real scale. Whil

This is huge. The doors are now open for individuals to write their own little custom automata. Even if you can just write your own app and install the APK automatically, I get the feeling that having to adopt the Java paradigm and scaffold

This is the most reasonable and fair analysis that I've seen of this issue on HN. What have we learned, after how many threads with 100+ comments have there been on this subject now? Everyone just seems to chime in with their one-bit commen

The longing to take it slower and treat yourself right, and not grinding yourself into the ground for the sake of sexy business and easy cash, is perfectly reasonable. The notion of life balance is quite well represented around here, contra

Definitely tempting, thats the dream for me. However, do you think he'll still be living that lifestyle for the next 2, 5, 10, 25 years? I'm working toward that dream every day, but its a purely temporal thing. Even the $100k+ engineer sala

I hate to break it to you kid, but no matter what you do you'll end up writing boilerplate, filing reports, and listening to assholes spout nothing on a very regular basis. Thats how business works and why it can suck. Running your own busi

You forget the huge numbers of users who willingly provide their login data to phishing or other malicious apps. If they don't pay attention to those, clearly more obvious sketchy things, you really expect them to make sense of opting in an

You can always ignore G+ and browse like you used to. Hell, create a whole new Google Account completely disconnected from your prior history and G+ connections on your main account. Thats what I did right as it came out.

Do we REALLY need any more fetishization of startups and founders? When did entrepreneurship become a spectator sport? And, why go to Kickstarter? I'd be weary to invest in anything startup related that can't find real funding... its not ha

Really though, you're choosing to socially isolate yourself in two ways. First from everyone using Facebook for social organization (the status stream is considered as almost a joke by now by a large portion if users). But you're also isola
