If the inability to block an ad is the primary determinant of "ruining" the internet you probably need to re-evaluate your sense of entitlement.

$200 is cheap but I'm hoping they eventually put out an option closer to the $40/mo price point just so I can play around with Postgre (I'm currently a MS SQLServer guy that wants to start branching out). I don't want to spin up a new AWS a

Pretty spot on for the most part but I have to disagree with points 4 and 5. On point 4: if you have employees and you expect them to do their job, pay them. It does't matter if they are 24 or 54, your cash flow problems should not become t

Too many questions left if somebody isn't willing to sign in to an unknown service with FB (which I am not). I'm guessing this like an AirBnb for meals?

I was thinking the same thing, but I think it might have more to do with the fact that B&N would have no other relationship with Microsoft as an OEM in other markets. Samsung, HTC, Dell, etc... all have other cross cutting businesses th

If the founder sold his previous startup to Chegg, and undrip is only looking for seed level funds right now why not boot strap? Or has angel funding become little more than trading equity for credibility to eventually move onto a larger Se

What I'm wondering is, how do more and smaller startups equate to eventual consolidation? His preference seems to be that engineers would elect to become agents or enablers of consolidation by joining the very companies that have the scale

Was going to give it a whirl until I saw it was a Chrome extension. I use Chrome but thus far resisted any content formatting extensions. Extensions feel a little too ActiveX control-ish for me.

I'm surprised to see the tools listed as one of the grievances. Except for a few true dogs like Visual Source Safe, you usually hear nothing but praise for Visual Studio as an IDE or the tooling that goes into SQLServer. Those two environme

I get AppSumo emails right around 1:00 AM CST, I didn't hear about Jobs's passing until about 6:30 PM CST. It seems more like a coincidence than exploitation (ironic as this seeming "callout" is being exploited for linkbait)

Post is gone. Let's see if it will fit in a HN comment: "Oh boy. At this point, even the shit-show is becoming a shit-show. According to Dan Primack at Fortune, Mike Arrington has been fired by AOL. My inbox is full of emails from journalis

One thing that I currently use Circles for that is related to the original article is book mark managing. If I see something I'm interested in and want to read later (mostly programming stuff) I'll post it to a Circle that has no followers.
