Seriously? You're getting bent out of shape over this??? Despite being very likely true, the statement was funny and targeting just the right people for it to be funny.

playing to, and trying to please your audience is the kiss of death, if you write for yourself and forget how you might be seen by those reading you, your writing will improve.

I'm not sure i agree with those as examples of things google doesn't do well. Product search works great for me, as does local. Ditto for real estate search. Maybe your experience has been different, but try adding the zip code to your sear

You're claiming to do better than wolfram alpha? Are there any online demos of your technology? The better search through semantics has been thrown around for years, but so far it's never been found to beat the traditional approach. POS and

I took a quick look and still prefer Thunderbird. Over the years tb has matured enough that it's solid and reliable. All I want from my work email client. For personal stuff, I'd never consider a client, other than the browser.

Does anyone really care? Maybe the young insecure men who have grown up with hash tags and their online persona having some kind of meaning. But anyone with an ounce of confidence wouldn't care less. Women have always gossiped and always wi

Do you live in the real world? Prisons aren't safe because they are full of violent offenders! It's pretty obvious that when you densely pack the bottom tier of society into small spaces that the outcome will be a whole load of violence - o

I'm sorry for the soon to be ex employees, but I hate all these App Store fakers. Good riddance to spammy apps like this.

I find myself disagreeing with all the positive feedback on the ui. I really dislike the squished view above and the anorexic view to the right. Why not use a Pinterest grid. I want to see everything at once. I can scan much faster for thin

But if you stopped supporting those ie8 users would it detract from your bottom line? By breaking old browsers you push those people to upgrade.

Why is this surprising. It's not exactly difficult to build something very like Pinterest.

It's pretty obvious you'd didn't consider statements like that. There are a large number of examples that make your statement of the invariance of facts absurd.

obviously not IOS kernels, it was a generic comment, linux kernels, compile from source, keep up to date, use chrome not the browser that came with their machine etc etc. It really wasn't that hard to understand.

You can't blame Vimeo for you having a slow computer and a slow Internet connection. Vimeo is targeted at people who want a better quality experience than YouTube and it is assumed that you can keep up.

Why? They already have a perfectly intuitive way of doing this. It doesn't make any sense. I just tried it and its not particularly useful, doesn't feel anywhere nearly natural and I can already do zoom one handed just hold the phone so tha

Or you could be completely wrong. This is hn, not some Amish blog. The hn crowd update their apps, compile their own kernels and don't use old hardware. Life's too short.

It's funny to see alias PIPE='|' That's not much of an alias. Usually I use them to shorten the typing, not make it longer. Here's my suggestion: alias "list all files, but don't show much info"= ls Premature 4/1

Ivy educated and a two timer. How will you feel when she dates the next guy and after a few dates dumps you? I don't see the need to brag about her education? Was that in some way relevant? It sounds like you might be feeling like you need

Oracle installers aren't meant to be pretty, but rather practical, they are run mostly by IT professions who know what they are doing. Remember an Enterprise solution has to conform to ADA in 57 different countries and be fully translated,

I don't see any design here, it's just change a few colors that don't go together. My opinion, you should have gone surfing.

It's rather pathetic. Considering all the things that life has to offer, caring about making poll position in comments is really sad.

Do people really care about where there comments are. This sounds so ridiculous.

I put two together in photoshop and print them at Costco. The Fuji crystal archive paper is fantastic and works out at $4.50 each panorama. They are also more durable, more archival and have the best color matching due to the profiles being
