I thought the title of this submission was slightly misleading. This is not a security vulnerability from within Firefox, it's a Firefox plugin to reveal security vulnerabilities in a wide range of websites.

I'm continuing my everyday routine of hacking away. Trying to out it out of my mind, honestly. If I get in, I get in. If I don't, then I don't. Won't stop my determination to build my product and company.

Bummer, I was just about to point you to the Google page of their index from 2001, but it looks like they took it down - http://www.google.com/search2001.html

It's hard for non-entrepreneurial types to understand, but some people are just satisfied with having a huge disconnect with their work and life. For a long time, it upset me to see my intelligent friends do this. They couldn't wait to get

Likewise. I've never been good at staying up late, but I wake up at 4am everyday for about 3 hours of uninterrupted work time.

Pretty much. Regardless, it's all retail so profit margins are pretty low.

Awesome! It's cool hearing stuff like that. I've learned a ton about marketing here on HN and going to make 2011 a great year.

Yup, I sell firearms, accessories, and ammunition - http://www.dallasshootingsupplies.com (I'm also doing software based startups since they're equally as fun). It's awesome, I've learned a ton, and the firearm industry is met with it's o

This looks like a nice tool to have (if a bit expensive), but seriously, a bug like that is a real deal killer. Having my house appear after clicking a link freaked me out.

Yeah, I work that way as well. I have a nice pair of noise canceling headphones, and my co-workers (non-programmers) will have to tap on my shoulder or speak loudly for me to hear them. They're often perplexed if I'm late to a meeting or ar

Not really sure I agree with the analytics example. There see tons of analytics startups (including my own).

Great points. I even wrote a little script that blocks sites I commonly visit that prevent me from getting work done. It's called get-shit-done: http://github.com/leftnode/get-shit-done

Yeah, nothings more infuriating than trying to find an answer and you get a blog post about Feisty Fawn.

Wow, thats the nicest designed StackExchange site I've ever seen. I hope Ubuntu.com picks up on it (or sponsors it directly) so it gets a lot of Google exposure.

I would imagine fork() in C would be the most obvious.

It would be nice if GoDaddy had an option for your account like: "I'm never ever going to buy a shopping cart, or email addresses, or any of that other stuff from you, just take me right to the payment page, please."

Even if it's not for production usage, if that warning comes with a page, I'm not gonna enter my credit card details into it. Who knows what's happening them.

Alternatively, I have a 6 month old and I'm only 26. I'm glad I had him early: being up late has allowed me to work on my startup and maintain a full time job. I'd love to be independently wealthy by 35. He'd be set up for life, and I would

It's ironic this is hosted on Scribd, a YC company.

Gotcha. With git and a Phing build script, I can do the same in PHP :)

How is creating the local server environment on RoR or Python/Django easier than PHP/anything? I've been developing locally for years and while I can't mimic the exact hardware of the live server, I wouldn't be able to do that regardless of

Thank you for making this point, because it's the crux of the argument. If I steal something from you, I deprive you that object. So, when I steal your physical car, you no longer have a car (that you could resell or use). When you download

Neither should executives, apparently. At least in the music industry.

Use doors for desks (a huge door desk might cost you $50 and 2 hours a Saturday afternoon) and spent a lot of money on chairs.

You'd have to do a lot to prove to me you're not just cold calling me and actually interested in my career and me as a developer. No recruiter has done that to date. Having a recruiter "keep in touch with me" now feels awfully a lot like th

I've been attempting to work with Alipay for my job for a while now. While they are the Paypal equivalent in China, it's very difficult to work with them. First, they require a ton of documentation to become a registered business with them.

Yeah that caught me off guard as well. I'd be upset if I were an advertiser because it means not as many people are viewing my ads. I always looked forward to the beautifully laid out PDF version.
