>Trash left on the street is considered abandoned property. I wouldn't be so sure of that interpretation. In most places that I've lived, you could be arrested for taking things out of the trash, whether in front of your house

Hacker news, never change. Company gives away product for free to opensource teams... and almost all of the comments are complaints. :) I get it. For some this will never be an acceptable solution. As a happy subscriber of the family pla

Well, what good is the password by itself? If you don’t know where it’s been used and with what username, it hasn’t mich value. In any case, you can use his V2 API to check your password without sending the password or even the complete has

Neither are 1password’s if you don’t use their sync service. And honestly your passwords aren’t on their servers. An encrypted blob is. Encrypted with a password only you know.

No, if someone else uses Google's tools to create a product offering called "Gmail for Pimps" Google is liable.

Your analogy is not quite right. Google in this example isn't the gun manufacturer, they are simply the building owner that somebody else is selling guns out of. The GP wants that building owner to be liable for the actions of the per

Note to product marketers: If you don't put prices in an easy to see and understand manner on your website, I won't even bother to investigate the features. What use are the features if the price doesn't work for me? This s

Is this news to anyone at Google or Facebook or Apple? I wager that those three companies combined spend a large sum of money in all the world’s capitols in order to influence regulations.

Huh, as I started reading I was thinking "I've had some pretty bad roommates, I wonder if this is worse." About a quarter of the way through I realized this is way worse. About three quarters of the way through I was filled

not for those ten potential roommates it's not. :) Is it really rational to reject those 10 roommates for no good reason to avoid the 1 in a million hellish roommates?

It seems pretty obvious that he and his fellow complainant were fired for the quality/content of their ideas, not their class. To me, there is a large difference between discriminating against someone because of their beliefs vs. their

I think you have that wrong, 90% of people fail at opening and operating restaurants. Some folks have a very high success rate. I think the failure rate I’d restaurants is more tied to the types of folks who open restaurants than the busine

Except that Profits = income - Expenses (in simplified form). So, that 20% Profit you mention is money NOT spent on infrastructure investments.

You seem to be reading a lot into some very innocuous responses. I read jpatokal's response as simple addressing your point that the original author didn't make his point. There was no explicit criticism in the post. Severa

I’m talking about the point when he was just a shoplifter. At that point, if he had valid ID, police wouldn’t even been called.

by mrunkel 9y ago
Just as a point of reference, here in Germany, the police would have just left the suspect be. They already knew his name, and therefore his address, so they would have just filed a report and the prosecutors would have sent him a letter.

Hmm. I would just usually screenshot the code snippet in my IDE. Seems like an easier solution. However, congrats on assembling your "Lovecraftian amalgamation of software." :)

The reason why something did or didn't make it into a standard are definitely opinions. All sneak had to do was to provide a link to the "damned good reason."

I find that EV certs are valued by web marketers and nobody else. It gets written down on a project spec because they read it's "more secure" and the IT team goes through the hoops of providing the very expensive EV cert. A

Here in Germany there is a button on the light. Unfortunately, the picture of the cane on it isn't clear enough. All the tourists press that button. :)
