I see the reality in the Twitter part (even though I'm not a user of twitter myself). But I think that the Facebook part of that assertion is outdated. It used to be true that I only had friends on Facebook. But nowadays I have way more acq

You are absolutely right, that was more what I was thinking about when I wrote that. I just edited it to match with your proposal.

Good idea. Here's a suggestion, the numbers on the list should match a rank, eg: 1. $10 1. $10 3. $8 4. $7 4. $7 4. $7 7. $2 This will make it more relevant when looking how high up on the list your annual salary is. Edit

My vim renders everything way darker (or perhaps is just that there is not as much contrast) than in the screenshots. I double checked that I am using xterm-256color (and also checked against rxvt-unicode-256color). It's too bad, I really

I agree, and even without nuclear disasters, no human society has ever lasted for as long as nuclear waste must be looked after.

You're right. There seems to be a gray area around whom owns the "click data": - "Are users entitled to give away for free their navigation history ?" - "To what extend are search engines allowed to implement specificities based on th

Well, the article suggests that there is more to it than just mere copying. The way I see it, Bing is basically taking a look at what is that the user does when it searches for a term that is unknown to Bing. Once they have this initial dat

That might be because your father's computer has the usb ports mounted upside down. It happens very often though. And in some laptops you even have all combinations at once: some mounted right, others upside down and one or two mounted vert

I agree. I read through the article expecting to find new ideas on how to stop spam, something along the lines of http://www.paulgraham.com/ffb.html I was very disappointed...

I assume you're a script then. Would you mind tell HN about it ? I think this might be a useful tool.

I totally agree with the whole "two wrongs don't make a right". But I think that the very essence of the scam the OP pulled on the woman prooves that she did have the $700 dollars. If she didn't have $700 to spare on those tickets then she

Well, I didn't find the IE9 folks as condescending as the Hotmail crew. Their answers are actually very interesting, they don't appear as incompetents. EDIT : Sorry. I take it back, I just read this: ---------8<--------- iamnotobama wr

I think that the events in France don't belong to this list. France is dealing with a lot of youth criminality from ghettoized communities. The burning of cars was not backed up with any political claims. It only reflects how authorities ar

I get that, but saying that something is a "big lie" just because it is not that important in a specific context doesn't seem quite right in my opinion.

Sorry, I don't buy it. Performance is not the only thing that matters in software development. And certainly not to the point of calling fundamentals software design - note the emphasis on the word design - "big lies".

"The original article didn't irk me nearly as much as her rebuttal. Quite frankly, if this really does put them out of business, they deserve it." That's exactly what I thought upon reading this. And the reference to South Park is gold :-)
