Here's a better translation of a passage that made me particularly irate: "On Christmas Eve 2012, the NSA eavesdropped and stored about 13 million telephone connections" Merry Christmas, German friends.

The problem is that twitter went into the only ID business. People might not use twitter to tweet, but to log into other services. Of course, direct messages also come into play.

Here is another European data point (from Germany): 28 days paid vacation + Christmas Eve + New Years Eve + all national holidays (Christmas, Easter... ca. 10). AFAIK 24 days are the minimum in Germany (cf. §3 BUrlG).

To give an example. Let's say I link to the editorial of the German news magazine DER SPIEGEL. In the context of DER SPIEGEL, the title "Editorial" makes sense. On HN "Editorial" is pretty much a useless title.

(Slightly) OT: The "Y U NO STOP COOL FEATURES?" image is a total turnoff to me. It devalues the product.

Screenshot would do, too. It would be nice if not only paywalled but also login-only resources were frowned upon on HN.

Maybe he meant "which no one [of the OEMs] wants"? I would love to buy laptops et al. with good Linux support. In fact, I once bought a glorious Dell XPS M1330 ... with a horribly outdated Ubuntu install.

I think local-centric newspapers could generally gain a lot from developing a community of customers, be it via FB/Twitter or their own website.

I'm wondering if it were okay for Newspaper Licensing Ireland to write "cf. yesterday's paper, first article on page 8" without obtaining a license. If so, linking should be okay, too.

If I could +1 this a million times... that's the number one feedback I receive from CMS users in commercial environments. Please make it convenient for them to create tables!

You are asking for honest feedback, so… if you want to excite people about your work, you need to be excited yourself. To my ears you sound rather bored during the video which made me click the back-button midway. Engage!

In fact, they don't want you to sign up if you are an IE user. You can't even.

While I get the notion of your argument, I'd like to point out that neither intelligence, nor IQ do have anything to do with answering knowledge questions.

Auschwitz? Seriously? Your comment is the worst I've read on HN in a while. I think I threw up a little in my mouth.
