There are a lot of people here commenting on Google's arrogance and/or incompetence. One of the big unsaid point i think is the expectation from Google. Companies like FB, MS and Apple are "expected" to do the wrong thing while Google is he

I understand this is one person's rant against FB but i am quite surprised that not a lot more people have experienced the same rage against FB. I think the author does make a good point about boundaries. Lets say i sign up to FB using the

Its his page on the net and he is clearly venting , that's his right. However, this is nothing new and has been there in various forms for ages , HN could do without this submission.

Excellent article, very thorough. I am always surprised when you have someone non-technical try out, what for me is a very trivial application, the results are always eye-opening and humbling. Its almost a different world. I did something s

Cannot up vote this enough. Why do we have "general interest" stories coming on HN and on the first page ?

I have real experience with this and my experience with Eastern Europe/Russia is not very good - with India it is abysmal. Yes the cultural differences are less but in most cases the masking of the problem is still practised, albeit a littl

Pros : Very clean user interface Cons : (A) User Login should be the first thing , rather than what are you working on. Simply because it gives me confidence that the app knows who i am. (B) If i cannot "Manage my domain(change settings)" w

This plus Founders At Work and as a side note - John Carmack's original .plan files. He goes into great details about issues he was having with Video cards(NVIdia vs. ATI), 3D rendering etc and then his plans of how he was going to tackle t

Not really unknown - wasn't there a mention by Google of Zoho sometime back and that article was linked here as well.

Same here - this is like the former expertsexchange , you need to add a hyphen at the right place.

Am i missing something here - Google Wave is still invite only isn't it ? I have a Google Wave account and i can invite others but the invitees are not immediately accepted , so one of your collaborators does not have a Wave account , how d

All "good" publicity for the phone and the company. The company rep seemed to quite cool about it ,what i didn't understand though was why was the reporter apologising ? The company rep did say - the phone is unbreakable do what you can and

My 2 cents. Stop or continue really depends on two things (a) Who is your competitor ? (b) What market are you in ? From your description your competitor albeit well funded is not established and therefore has exactly the same problem as yo

Just wanted to add , there are 2 features that i am most excited about (at least for the first release): a) Speed The web front-end and the back-end processing engine have been written keeping in mind processing time, everything is optimise

Developing a generic price arbitrage engine making it easier for sellers to track price movements of their products vis-a-vis their competitors. The first release will target sellers selling on Amazon. I should have a private beta by the en

Even paginating it would help in the readability, i think.

Does anyone actually think that this will help prevent terrorism ? Its quite astonishing that we seem to be willing to submit ourselves to every kind of invasion of privacy as long as it "protects" us from terrorism.

I am not sure what this sort of an article achieves - its neither succinct enough to be a synopsis nor is it detailed enough to be an in-depth explanation. It reminds me of one of those MS-Word Specification documents bandied about in enter

Must be a slow week - this particular "very simplistic" article has been here at least 3 times before in the last month. Its very cute to divide programmer competency into a clean matrix - its never that simple.

You are lucky - you stumbled on the right thing by accident , HTDP and/or Little Schemer are the right places to start followed by the more advanced SICP. If you can really grok SICP you probably won't need anyone to tell you what to read n

Why is this even on HN ? This is just a childish, single point of data, no depth or span article. Nothing thoughtful or interesting.

Too many generalisations and over-simplification. A single swallow does not make a spring. As an aside, this concept of Asian Intellectualism to me has always sounded hollow. My experience has been that Asian students especially Indian stud
