Don't they just need to tell people to switch away from 4 or 6 digit pins and use longer passwords?

My experiences mirror the OP, in fact I even had a prospect tell me recently they were thrilled I didn't jump right into pricing/licenses. Most are not calling to get a price, they're calling to learn more about the software

Situations like Turkey's DST extension reminds me why storing dates in UTC with no further information is not good enough.

This is happening in Portland, OR in select locations. Admittedly I haven't seen a lot of progress in the last year, but they converted a few of the streets up by PSU rather quickly, so maybe it's not a huge obstacle to overcome?

Indeed! I haven't seen a "normal" drinking fountain in Portland in ages. That said, I have seen homeless people do unspeakable things with them, so my trust is rattled.

I wasn't a huge fan of seeing them in the SERPs back in the day; hopefully Google has an opt-out. I wouldn't mind if somehow it was integrated into Google News; that could be cool.

This helped me visualize how close LEO satellites are, as well as how far away others are (e.g. GPS). http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Orbitalal...

I think he means you should at least read the code on the other end of that URL to make sure it matches what's on the site.

Agreed. It doesn't take a lot of working with PayPal to know the IPN system is fragile at best. PaymentDetails is mandatory for any adaptive payments integration. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api

I work with SendGrid frequently because of my day job, and they have hands down the worst software and design of any company in the industry. I use Mandrill for my private projects, and it is so much better it's shocking SendGrid has a

To me the bigger news here is that this bug has been in the wild for at least 5 years.

I try and be very helpful to customers I'm losing... they might come back one day or recommend someone to me.

I don't think many people used Opera because of it's rendering engine; they used it because of the GUI and high-level features. Moving to webkit just let them focus on what actually made them unique to their customers.

I'm not going to say that your fingerprints won't fall into the wrong hands, but it's incredibly simple to monitor network traffic from the device, and it's a guarantee someone will do this just to see. It's also a

These comments read just like the ones on the Larry Page thread! It's almost like someone is telling HN readers what to say...

Just curious, how is this not an MVP?

Hah I knew I would get called on that. Let's change it to "the first one that came to my mind"

It often happens after huge news, and it's meant to give investors time to digest it. I believe the last notable instance was after Jobs died, AAPL was halted.

Wow that is a terrible change, I hope they back that out.

Indeed. I certainly wish those numbers were true!

Starting to get 200s now. Looks like they're back.

Confirmed. My app is getting 502s.

Exactly right. The best thing we can do is learn what made him great and what made him not great. I really treasure the man because he had a lot of both. Just more to learn from.

Chain a few more commands onto that example and then we can talk about how readable the pure JS version is.

Yeah, I'm in the same spot as you. I don't think we need mindless bitching anywhere. I think the site would benefit if more people showed up wearing their business hat and left their developer hat somewhere else. I could be mistaken, but I

Hah, I don't mean to offend anyone, sorry. I've just been getting increasingly annoyed with the content on HN. We have Slashdot/reddit for developer bitching, why do we need it here?

by jarcoal 14y ago
HN is running like clockwork, but it's because everyone has become an entitled developer and not an actual entrepreneur that analyzes a business decision rationally. Use PayPal or don't. Just don't expect them to let you use it anyway you
