Out of the 19 comments in this thread, 3 were by 3 distinct Braintree employees. In all of my time reading HN, I don't think I've ever seen so many employees of a company post in a single thread. I'm not really surprised there's a few initi

A cute marketing trick. No you're not doing this just because you want to "help new startups". That's a nice way of rationalizing it, but really 1) Braintree is suffering from the competition, especially on HN, Stripe is loved like no other

Yeah. Says the guy doing all his work on a 1024 x 600 display. I mean the guy no harm, but so much of what he says strikes me as incredibly back-worldly. Like using dial-up and limiting yourself to fan-less laptops. I mean I get the "thin t

If you don't mind my asking, who is `we` in this?

So why did you like them, if not for their accents?

Yeah, just reversing back and forth is the poor man's version of cinematographs. http://technostreak.com/news/cinematographs-a-new-dimention-... I feel they could've done this better. Still an impeccable jobs. The best team page I've seen

You have to be more sneaky. Rather than asking something as generic as >What's it like working here? ask them >What do you like the most about working here? If they give you something like "the stability" or "the high pay" those are

There's still people that care relatively little for the study of the past. The internet is also filled with lots of things that aren't "pop culture bullshit"

I thought about this conflict of interest too. But imo people should still be able to use aff links. Their trustworthiness should be deduced from other factors.

As long as they're obviously dumbasses I don't mind their just getting down-voted to the bottom. Not much harm done and they'll get `dead`ed before too long.

This is a non-issue. Look at MongoDB. If you want to say "You're a retard" in German you'd say "Du bist ein Mongo". Mongo being short for mongoloid and just as `politically incorrect` as retard is in the English speaking world. If anything

Please point me to any code Steve wrote in the last dozens of years of his life. Arguably the years where he had the biggest impact on the world. Larry & Sergey's last commits are from 2002. And they were hardcore technical guys before

You're wrong. Depending on where you look, nonverbal behavior constitutes between 60% and 93% of communication. If I really am interested in a podcast I will always opt for the video-version if it means I can't put it on my iPod and listen

Can you talk about the times you've seen it done. Because I haven't, and I'd love to hear more.

Writing as an individual is much more potent than programming as an individual. In fact writing as an individual is often the best way to do it. Programming as an individual is often the worst way to do it, your projects are often bound in

No. Programming is low-impact work. You can only write so many lines of code in a day. The people that are changing the world don't do it by writing code.

I wouldn't worry about it, they're probably the same ones that still disable JS or use NoScript in 2012.

No. This angst of affiliate links is getting tiresome. What terrible horrors are unleashed upon you when you click a link with an affiliate ID attached to it? Right, ... none.

If a company is actually stupid enough to say "If I was your cloud provider, I'd never let you down" then I immediately lose all interest in working with that company. Childish and they obviously have no appreciation for how hard it is to p

Of course nothing is ever final, but publicly announcing something like this is already sort of a "fuck you" to Oracle, so I'd be surprised if they weren't a 100% sure of their plans to switch.
