Spotify, I think, has a slightly larger portfolio. But in most cases, if Spotify doesn't have it, Rdio won't either.

Absolutely love Rdio too, but you're also completely right about search on their iOS app. Not only does it not take you back to the results, but when searching for a song or artist, for whatever reason it does not prioritize for what&#

They need a full stack OS with TCP/IP, crypto, UI, etc... Plus with Windows they can reuse a lot of their libs which are written in C# or Java.

But in most cases, nobody was "hacked" at all. The photos were distributed, without limitation, to 1 or more people by the actual subject of the photos.

How reliable is Crunchbase, anyway? In my experience, its frequently outdated and incorrect, but I don't search it often.

PHP. You want to start with something you know, especially at a time when getting an MVP, making iterations, and being nimble is important. Because you both already know PHP, this is a no-brainer. Things have changed dramatically with every

This is actually a really good point, and I'm glad you backed it up with concrete evidence.

Exactly. This seems like linkbait, through and through. Reminds me of the "FBI Google pressure cooker" story a few months ago[1]. [1] http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2013/08/government-k...

Great tip. Does anyone know who Hetzner's largest customers are? Or at least major web services that host with Hetzner?

Anyone else catch that their security group is called "Yahoo Paranoids"? Hilarious!

Did you really think there were parades and celebrations held? For comparison, in the United States there are secular holidays for a variety of positions such as Administrative Assistants Day, Boss's Day, SysAdmin Day, etc...

Alexis appears to be heavily denying it on his twitter [1] along with releasing subsequent e-mails [2][3]. Looks like this is another Wikileaks publicity stunt. [1] https://twitter.com/alexisohanian [2] http://im

Ah! Interesting angle. It could certainly be possible, and if it were I definitely wouldn't hold it against Snowden. In fact, the Der Spiegel article [1] fails to release the source document(s), so I'm fairly dubious about who pro

by ianhawes 13y ago
I don't see how Snowden can justify releasing top secret documents that DON'T show the United States spying on it's own citizens. One of the goals of NSA is to gather foreign intelligence. The UN constitutes foreign intellige

All countries are aware of each other's foreign intelligence services, though they are most likely not aware of specific intrusions. Smaller countries like to pretend they're outraged at even the thought of foreign intelligence, h

No, what makes the United States so great and loved by the world is the opportunity it provides.

Could someone please elaborate on why an LLC would not be good for selling your company? I'm aware that it wouldn't be preferable for outside investment, but this is the first I'm hearing about issues with sale to another com

I like the name "The Silent Bubble" for this impending crisis because when it bursts, the voices of the millions of Millenials this affects will be drowned out by the constant bitching of the Baby Boomers.

Actually, MSM has been covering Snowden and his leaks fairly consistently since they occurred. Perhaps you should watch Fox News or CNN before you go off making unsubstantiated claims.

Surely you have concrete proof that illegal blackmail occurs within the US Government, right? Wrong. If this were the case, Congress would've defunded US IC years and years ago. You underestimate the determination of US Congressmen to

Exactly. And as evident by the US/Russian spy swap in 2010 [1] a transfer isn't out of the question. In the coming months, we may even see several undercover SVR operatives rounded up in the United States as bargaining chips. [1]

Actually I don't think you can prove he was higher ranking one way or another. It would appear, based on the wide variety of documents he stole, that they were in fact hacked – with Snowden abusing his privileges on NSA computers. No s

There is no smoking gun. These articles, without the documents/slides/files, to back them up, are little more than conjecture.

No, he's not trolling. Nor is he a government plant or right-wing nutjob. He's just someone posting on HN with a legitimate viewpoint not shared by the majority of people here. Regardless, it is a valid point and shouldn't be

I don't think anyone's suggesting he's being waterboarded. There is definitely a distinction between torture and interrogation.
