Perhaps – but it's certainly the case that if one wanted to find an exploit, it would likely be easier with the source code in hand. Now, this isn't an argument against open-source software – much to the contrary, in fact, because, I'd argu

And now my wife has too. Thanks again.

Thanks. For whatever it's worth, I just signed up and wouldn't have if you hadn't posted that.

My understanding was that it was extremely limited – if using the web UI, you'd see ads related to the currently visible email. Am I mistaken in that understanding?

Where exactly is that? Apple does a great job of making the mic location non-obvious.

Well said. We can debate the merits of file sharing and, IMHO, there are real arguments on both sides, but I'll make the claim that there clearly ought to be a line drawn at people charging money/basing business models on the access to copy

FTA: "A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitti

Exactly. This data is somewhere between uninformative to downright deceptive if we're trying to get a handle on how many domains were actually moved to different registrars. As a proxy, dns servers seems somewhat poor to me.

The buyer need not lie for this to happen – it could be as simple as they were mistaken and genuinely believed that it was fake (assuming it wasn't).

I had considered that, but I wasn't explicitly trying to troll HN for jobs – just advice... but fair enough. I've added one now.

Thanks. I'm often one to write long replies – it's actually a bit gratifying to be on the receiving end of one, so thanks for your time. So, I dig everything you're saying... I guess I should have been more specific – by fun, I mean 'reward

Thanks. That's a great reply -- much appreciated.

The obviousness of your reply highlights the irrationality of my job-hunting fears. Thanks for the reality-check.

Okay HN – (forgive the personal bent to this, please) what's the best way for me to find a decent paying, but fun job? I've got ~8 years of python experience, ~2 years of experience with Javascript/JQuery/etc. and will be finishing up my ma

You're exactly right – but you realize, there's a whole group of people -- a whole discipline, in fact, that does exactly what you're talking about, right? We're designers. And we do have & run consultancies. Places like IDEO, Frog Desi

I can't help but wonder if this couldn't be made into an opportunity for those of us who oppose SOPA. All of the companies in the BSA are big/high value. Nevertheless, my gut tells me that some of the companies on that list are not ones tha

Indeed. It's exactly because of the work that he was doing that his passing is a meaningful thing to find its way to HN. Honestly, even if he wasn't doing any of that work, I'm of the mind that most people have a story in their lives and mo

Sure, but I think that definitely qualifies as a win/win for those who want to see flex have a future (I'm fairly agnostic on such things, fwiw). Further, I do think it says something that a large corporation, such as Adobe, is willing to o

by incongruity 15y ago
Heck, I'll go so far as to praise Adobe. While it's easy to "see the writing on the wall" from out here, history seems to say that it's often really hard for companies with dominant/historically strong positions in a market to see that r

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse... Groupon is just a slow-motion train wreck (which everyone still seems to want to get a ride on, oddly).

I can't help but feel that this reflects a change in the mindset of Google – getting further and further from its scrappy upstart roots which are now long-since gone...

Thank you – this'll come in handy!

Funny - Apple recently announced a major free initiative - iCloud and other new free initiatives are popping up in other industries - look at what Stanford and MIT are doing in making some parts of education free. The one thing that connect

To me this line of thinking lines up precisely with the notion of interest – they see it as something valuable for the future (and happen to be doing it now) – I'm not sure how all of that could lead to any conclusion other than Facebook ha

That doesn't account for the times the receiver decrypts your communication and then intentionally makes it public. There's a deep wisdom to the idea that one ought not put into words that which they wouldn't want the world to see... Once i

And that, right there, highlights why all of my passwords aren't kept with their (or any) service - for many, it just introduced a single point of failure. Imagine being locked out of every website you have an account on, just like that. N
