Yes, that's been the case since the predominant alma mater of Hacker News became either Wikipedia State or Reddit University. It's no longer a place for discourse, but instead for people trying to get internet points based on fal

Paedophiles only enter popular conversation in response to one doing something unredeemable (acting on their urges). Of course I'd people to get treatment before someone is hurt.

Please explain to me how I don't "understand statistics." In no way was I addressing or defending the wholesale scanning or mining of data; I was simply addressing uhtred's statement. Politics is largely the use of emot

No, not opposed to those women, but the wording would be "family" instead of "women and children."

Did you just go from creating a straw man to a "well, actually paedophiles are kind of redeemable" stance? The gallantry and defense of children is because men that are in charge are predominantly straight and have children. Not

I think you're being oversensitive about PHP. Wordpress, and by extension, its predictably-named settings file, is an easy search-target because it's very popular among novice/new developers.

Interesting. Did you profile your code to see where your hot spots were? Whenever I've run web-services on PyPy and got a nice little speed bump, I've found that I could have also made small changes to optimize and get near the

The law goes all bogeyman here, but one thing is clear: If you get busted for not publishing, you are no longer in good standing as an LLC in the state of New York. You then have to publish to get back in good standing. This doesn't a

I know about that hack, but I'm not sure I'd advise others to follow suit. You end up spending a non-trivial amount of money in fees and there's definitely a legal and time cost involved. IIRC, there's a couple of othe

I voted twice. I run a startup company that provides consulting services and acts as an incubator for in-house ideas. If one of the side projects grows large enough that it starts making "real" money, it will get its own LLC and

Oh weird. It searches for the most relevant thing and flows through? I thought their nxdomain stuff was just to serve ads, not provide redirects to existing sites.

I don't see this as particularly unprofessional or petulant. The owner/manager of the project didn't want to keep maintaining it and is redirecting users to an alternative that will work for almost all use cases. As of last

I assume this is cofounder privilege. If one of my employees got my business this kind of bad press, I'd lead him/her out by the ear immediately.
