AH! Ok. That is a crucial distinction I hadn't known was the case. It's important this be made clear, since I've seen several discussions implying "no details" was the case. P.S. To Whom It May Concern, It is objectively unfair for my OP to

It's first to file, right? I've heard there's no requirement for any implementation details or intent to manufacture; you can just come up with an idea, patent it, and wait for others to make it and sue them for royalties.

My understanding is that someone can now patent teleporters and replicators, and sue the person who eventually invents it. True?

I didn't know linking to Amazon did anything other than link to a page. I added this to make a point in the discussion about training and investment. Thanks for helping me and being so polite about it.

The problem: The browser on a mobile phone is an app, not the platform. Apps and the little icons on the phone's main page are like bookmarks to a website. If adding bookmarks to your phone were as OBVIOUS as adding an app, mobile apps woul

I was concerned about privacy, too, but heck, your IP is already logged by the primary site and logged by the CDN. This is just adding some logic to the routing.

The website doesn't help me find how to buy their product... Google shouldn't have to be a part of my journey (I can't find it for sale).

Fair enough. With OAuth these days, you wouldn't need a separate username / password, but your point stands. I do believe sites have much better mechanisms for sorting and searching compared to the web-interfaces of mailing lists. Therefore

Analogies between digital and physical items regarding piracy are always fallacies. His point is that if he CAN'T pay for it, having no avenue to give them revenue, then it doesn't hurt the content creator for the OP to consume the video fo

The release of user info of people for the sake of release is not cool. Give out one or two, to show the site that they've really been hacked and to show the people that BART doesn't hash passwords. But really, everyone's info? This isn't e

I hope so; that's annoying and counterproductive.

How is this not higher? I'm not an expert, but they're saying that most of the NoSQL tools and Node.js are incredibly insecure.

Perhaps HR departments are counter-intuitive. Why can't a manager of a department or team hire their own teammate?

They're about to be told to by the US government via the "Protecting blah blah child pornography act of 2011" if it's not stopped. Look it up.

A related article talks about how David Patterson and the state of NY has made it illegal to rent your house to others a la AirBnB. If people want to trust others enough to risk this sort of crime, let them. Get the fuck out of my life, Sta

I can easily see innocent and benevolent dark humor being overreacted to with all this buzz about 'awareness' at conferences. Ironically sexist though it is, simply saying "don't be that guy" should be the extent of the conversation. This s

>It sounds to me like the problem is the number of obscure laws, the vagueness of the offenses, and the lack of mens rea requirement. You're right. There is another issue, though, relating to the massive power of the central government.

Is this Hacker News? I suppose it might be tied to our theme by the story of the inventor. I think it's a shame that the US federal government has ballooned the way it has, and I believe it's a slap in the face of the Constitution. Discardi
