My first thoughts too, doesn't seem the like the the best/most appropriate place to publish a public announcement notice.

Interesting idea, but I don't think I could go back to that style of phone without a QWERTY keyboard. It's the form factor - I think iPhone 4 is the perfect size, iPhone 5 if also fine, so around a 4-inch screen . Everything these

I just want a smartphone that I can use with one hand :( Not sure what it is about all Android phones now being the size of a house!

Funny, years ago a friend of mine refused to go touchscreen phone, because he was able to send a text message without looking at the phone as it had actual buttons. I'm more like you, but I like to have a physical button on my phone fo

Surgeons, sure you need relevant education. But pilots, do you require them to have a degree in flying, or aeronautics? Sure they have to be licensed, but that's different from having a degree in the subject - which is what the origina

This guy is keeping the story on the news agenda loud and clear. I was referring to this part of the comment, nothing else.

This story was originally published on Tue Aug 13, 2013 8:44 PM EDT To be fair, the article is from 3 days ago. More likely someone just posted the link on HN. Also, it's not the guys fault is NBC News are a little slow in reporting

How do you expect one little guy to stand up and speak out on principle, when all the big guns just roll over and get in bed with the government? We've heard recently of possibly Yahoo and Google resisting to some extent, but imagine t

There's this place not too far from Scotland, easily reachable via a cheap flight with EasyJet. It's called Italy. They make amazing pizzas. And gelato. Mmmmm, gelato pizza...

The point still stands. Just because you studied it at university does not make you an engineer in the field or necessarily any good at it. We don't need parrots, we need thinkers and sometimes that means drawing on experience from dif

I take your point, but I think it depends on where you work. I used to be a "web developer", I still consider myself that (I don't particularly care what my title is tbh). When I started job hunting a few years back companies

Engineering degree in what? Mechanical engineering? Electrical engineering? Architectural engineering? etc. These have nothing to with software either. Politicians often don't have a university degree related to politics...

Not to mention the boredom factor. But I have known people to take a job just cos they need the money, and also been refused a job because they were over-qualified and the employer knew they would just leave once they got a better job. It&#

Which is why I mentioned using a private browsing tab, so those cookies would be deleted/not used across from normal browsing mode. Would be interested in seeing some stats/research on whether this is true and how much prices are

Really? So how do they distinguish I am a new user or not, if I am not logged in? From IP address? Maybe I need to reset my router, get a new IP, visit Amazon in private browsing mode and then doing the search so I have the price before log

I have a lot of noise in my contacts list though. Very rarely do I have a surname, mostly it's suffixed with "home", "mbl" or "work" or even city name as surname sometimes. I'm sure a "best guess

I wonder what the security checkpoints would be like on the HyperLoop if it ever got built? They are saying capsules could depart 30 seconds apart. Imagine is there was an attack in on of them, with several others travelling at high speed j

I imagined so too, but what were they basing this match on? The people they were suggesting did not, or at least should not, have had this particular email address since it was created after I had worked with them. They only ever emailed (f

This was long after (4 years) I had left the company in question, so nothing to do with IP range. Besides, it was a BIG company, and it fairly accurately found my colleagues that I worked most closely with.

How do you tag someone if they don't have a Facebook account? AFAIK it's not possible to tag someone with an email address or telephone number? Certainly you can "tag" someone if they are not on Facebook and not in your

I have the same feeling about LinkedIn! I only recently signed up for LinkedIn, about a year ago, using my GMail address I use for job-hunting purposes. I've had this account since circa-2008 but I ONLY use it for work purposes (since

I would imagine there is some sort of affiliate link scheme set up, so you know, the guy can pay for stuff... most of us should probably use this as a resource and then then use NameCheap ourselves.

It really is time for a Facebook competitor to stand up and say "we will say F K YOU to the NSA/US/any other government requesting your data" by being based somewhere else safe. I'm sure they could use all this to

Exactly, he's living in hiding. Osama Bin Laden had to do the same, but for actually committing terrible crimes. Hardly the same magnitude and hardly living the life of a celebrity.
