I would have remembered when the message to tag the location of my photos came up.

by iamandrus 15y ago
I never entered anything into the location field (I would have remembered doing it), yet it got the exact city and state where I took the photos.

I uploaded pictures from a class trip on Facebook back in 2009 and had no captions or names that suggested that the pictures were taken in California. My camera at the time was not capable of GPS. Facebook still managed to get the location

I'm surprised he was even let through the checkpoint after that comment.

Congratulations on your first app. It's a good feeling indeed. :) I recently wrote a ton of Node.js example scripts (chat, group chat, notifications, interaction with PHP, etc), because I had never worked with Node before. I knew PHP, a bit

Rovio probably won't care as long as he doesn't start profiting from the app.

Mark Zuckerberg called his users "dumb fucks" and hacked his competitor and several school journalists' email accounts. Yet we don't hold that against him today. Kim has proved that he's changed, so don't criticize him for past events.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen YouTube videos taken down by "companies" with such names as "0wn3d Limited" and "Videosux Corp." The DMCA was broken from the start.

I do agree with what he said, Android isn't as open as it seems. Google didn't release the Honeycomb code because it "wasn't ready", yet allowed manufacturers to ship tablets with a version of it on there. And he also made a point when he s

Yeah, I phrased that awkwardly thinking back to it.

by iamandrus 15y ago
Agreed. I don't like what Facebook is doing with the social network portion of its business whatsoever, but their engineering is brilliant and it's awesome for them to release something as amazing as this software.

I would prefer juvenile and brilliant (but productive) programmers to boring men in suits sitting in dark cubicles, lifelessly writing code day after day, and who have no sense of humor or fun whatsoever.

Last.fm for gaming. It was a failure but I learned a lot from it.

by iamandrus 15y ago
Just launch. Go along with what happens and if you fail, well, you've learned something, right? Also, keep in mind that it took many, many startups weeks, months, or even years to gain traction. AirBnb had been active for years and was just

A lot of my time is dedicated to messaging (which is handy because a lot of my friends use FB more than texting), and I also occasionally read through and comment on wall posts.

Agreed. Almost all of the advice on HN is well-intended, but some stories are just big negative walls of text about how my business plan is shit, how I'm an idiot, and how my idea is stupid. By cutting out HN sometimes, I can get things don

My rule is to use Facebook three times a day for twenty minutes each. I'm not addicted to FB, but this helps me stay away from long chats I may get into with friends. I get shit done with this method and I rarely break this rule.

Megavideo would, they hold the rights to the song and have agreements with the artists in question. UMG would be held responsible since their name is on the infringement notice.

I really hate how companies like the MPAA and RIAA exist. They care about nothing but precious profit. Yeah, let's forget constitutional rights and free speech, and censor the Internet to protect our product that can survive without us. Chi

I'm OCD about code, and that Javascript makes me want to rip my hair out.

I remember back in 2006 when the Download.com logo had "Safe, Trusted, and Spyware-Free" under it. EDIT: Picture. http://www.crunchbase.com/assets/images/original/0000/5821/5...

I lost trust in PayPal a LONG time ago. Once upon a time, I was ordering a shiny new processor from eBay. The processor was located in Italy and the seller was Italian (obviously). I think nothing of what PayPal would do and send the money.

Junior in college-prep high school here. The math questions are really easy: basic algebra, geometry, and trig. I can do it in my sleep, and I barely studied for that test and did well. I agree with you fully, kids need to be taught based o

They have nobody to blame but themselves. They shipped the tablet too early and without fully finishing it. Why should I need to own a BlackBerry in order to utilize something as simple as email or BBM? Sure, it's a tablet that's meant to b

I'm actually working on a startup while in school (not technically a day job, but similar). I think my idea has a ton of potential in the market I'm aiming for, so I've been working on it for almost a year now.

When it comes to something as sensitive as user privacy, no mistakes should be made. You can't just excuse a criminal for stealing thousands of diamonds because he may have given a few to a charity. That's a poor example but I think you g

> Facebook should start by sharing its secrets with us. Especially since they've claimed to be "loyal to their hacker roots" on various developer pages...
