Have you read Road to Makkah by Muhammad Asad? It reads similar to your writing and I greatly enjoyed it. After reading your article, I think that book merits a reread for me.

That's advice you're entitled to give if you've done the same ... not if you won the genetic lottery of being born in a Western country like the US.

Have you met Comcast?

I would actually recommend against using JS as your first, since it's so atypical.

This is true, but a focused bomb is also one more likely to be used because you're not laying the countryside to waste using it.

Thanks for clarifying, I was talking from the end users' perspective. You have an interesting point, but I contend that real start-ups with real users/revenue also get acquired/shutdown often enough that that's not reall

At this point, I feel like so many of these startups get acquired and shut down their existing services. What incentive do I have to invest myself in a new set of services that are only going to be shut down as soon as the company is hired?

It was the photo's that did it for me. Basic profile info, I can accept. Photo's, no.

The Passionate Programmer. I read it in college, and now that I'm reading it again with a full time job, it's amazing how much better it reads.

I'm just glad that Amazon has competition. I love them, and I don't want them going the way of the Comcast-style behemoth.

If we're talking statistics, far more Americans die of diabetes and heart problems than terrorism. Better to spend trillions of dollars there, no, instead of bleeding that money in Iraq and Afghanistan?

I interned there too in 2011 and can testify that employee morale is ridiculously low. No one loves the company, the only people who were working hard were the lifers who'd joined after college and were still there at 40 or 50.

Out of curiosity, how did you get your first clients?

This is the best news I've heard in a long time, but how do they filter the "disable ads" IAP vs the "oh you spent 3 hours getting invested in this game, but you can't reasonably proceed further until you buy xxx&qu

I'm curious as to whether you got a response to your refusal to "comply." Did he get back to you after that?

"The idea is to carry on fighting at any cost" Where are you getting this from? The idea is to fight in self-defence, not "at any cost".

Are you bilingual? If so, that perhaps you'll know what I'm talking about.

I think the concern is more the loss of literature written over the ages in a language. Equally importantly, language - as an extension of culture - shapes the way people think. Different people thinking differently is how problems can get

If you're in the US, check out Black Wireless (GSM, ATT network), or Republic Wireless.

But they are much cheaper, usually.

Why is this better than something like backbone, for instance?

I think Hudo's point is that experience with technologies is subjective. I loathe Windows after having been comfortable in terminal, and I loathe Eclipse after having been comfortable in VS.

Hypothetical- would you be more comfortable hosting an iOS-owning stranger or just someone who has access to a website? I feel more comfortable with the former (not least because of the implied affluence) but I wonder what HN's opinion

I'm reading Big Nerd Ranch's Android guide, and it's been pretty solid so far.

Considering the world is usually divided into the West and the Rest, that's not unsurprising.

Why not? To them, you're just some person in a foreign country.

Agreed. I definitely think this is the sort of thing that would encourage you to share photos with your close friends (would you ping a random stranger for updates?). Think many smaller circles, instead of gigantic newsfeeds. However, by na
