Should rename the article to oblivious person picks Travelling Nuker as their business name and unsurprisingly raises suspicious from the government. Where's the news in this?

Wow, taking hipster to a whole new level. Working at a startup, having catered lunches & the latest mac is too much so he quit.

Read the entire article. In it he praises hackernews then says it needs to filter to top 10 items, as slashdot did. He says twitter is fundamentally broken. He says reddit is too big.

He seems convinced that /. was the last great success in tech news and there will never be another to replace it. IMHO it failed for 2 reasons, too many political articles & social news is better than news aggregators. In the end

Ah, I was that guy. Doing affiliate marketing, cashing $20k checks per month in my 20s, not saving a penny & partying endlessly. I was in the online meds industry. When someone's site went down you didn't know if it was a netw

Ah, I like the guy who lists his databases knowledge to include Excel & XKeyScore. Either XKeyScore is so slick that it is indistinguishable from Excel or this particular person doesn't know what a database is. Either way, that ca

This is more coincidence than conspiracy. People look for patterns where they do not exist.

I have to disagree with this post. Passive Income Hackers are usually hustlers with more street smarts than technical skills. Startup Hackers are the opposite.

IMHO hacking is doing something you're not supposed to in such a unique way that it is considered clever, skillful and attractive. Increasingly people call themselves hackers by doing something that is trivial, unskilled or uninterest

The point of the article is to say everyone should have experience working at a large company to get perspective. The same thing can be said for small startups. The debate over which is better is endless and childish.

I had a moment just like this. We would be short $20k on payroll and the founders and myself and to come up with the difference. That sucked. Reality really sinks in when you are not in a good place to write those checks but you write th

An objective point here...if enough NY & CA residents moved to Texas to swing it to a blue state then the Republican party would be doomed.

Why tell Mt Gox what they are doing wrong when you can fine them instead? Seems like the American way.

What is comes down to is use any type of formatting as opposed to no formatting. Too often people crank out code, do not comment it and do not format it. This applies to every language. So far as SQL syntax goes, what irks me are: *

Please read past the headline. There is a lot of uneducated sensationalism criticism going on. The data leak has exposed info that is already public, and basically harmless. Given someone with enough time and effort can turn this public

You assume financial aid puts students on par with those that do not need it. If you did go to college then you'll know that anyone working in the dorms or an on campus food court is a student who was on financial aid. And they worked tho

I would like to add this to Chrome just in case I may use it but Chrome already has a 400MB memory footprint on my laptop. So I'll stick to teamviewer...but nice to know this is available if need be.

There's a motive here. hapyrus.com is pushing themselves as Redshift consultants. Oh you're using Hadoop? Redshift is better, cheaper and you can pay us to help you use it.

What personal drug habit requires $50k? If it is blow, that's at least an 8-ball every single day for a year. I can only guess you're buying that volume of drugs to resell it. Which is essentially why the guy in NZ was caught.

What this test is essentially doing is comparing Postgres against a single node of Redshift. It is not surprising that Postgres is faster. But Redshift is not meant to be used on a single node. What Postgres & Redshift represent are a

The '# views' may be a cosmetic metric. At least at MySpace it was. So when we caught someone trying to inflate views, we ignored the issue. This is because the processes used to measure the impact of media was based on a different set o
