It's a bit harsh to hold Jake accountable for deaths. I think that's the reason people downvote the comment. It is a true concern though whether or not exposing data like the Afghan documents could endanger the lives of people in Afghanista

That's an interesting feature for an apartment hunting site. However I think you have to add some information like the time-interval this goes back to. If it's only for a couple of days the statistic might be full of relative false-positive

Considering the amount of websites that use Google Analytics this will result in an almost constant sound. At least the websites I browse often. But it's an interesting project to make people aware of the amount of data they send to Google.

You've got a great point there but let me add something. The question if percentages or absolute numbers are valuable depends on the goal of your investigation. When you want to determine the technological advancement of a country going for

That's something like the stories we are told about North-Korean factories acting as if they have huge production. However since Apple does manage to launch new products every now and than I tend to believe they actually do have new product

So? Apple is a company that tries to make money. It's not a goverment funded organisation that is founded to serve its users with a fair and allround content. If Apple decides to delete those threads than they should be able to do so.

I don't see the real value of an article like this. It is just an opinion, but no (scientific) evidence supporting his opinion. Of course the guy has a great backgroup and his experiences at Facebook are definately important but to truely s

Wasn't Zynga threatening to leave Facebook or start a (long) legal battle? This is ideal for Google of course since they have been struggling to get their social networks to really take off. Getting Zynga to move to Google exclusively could

Interesting to see that they use two different db systems. I'm a bit worried about this. I believe it is just postponing an important decision. In the future they will have to choose for one db system. With the growth of Twitter wouldn't it

I couldn't resist to try but by using Firebug it is easy to solve all of them in one go. Just inspect the <li> items and Firebug will tell the color... Bit lame, but this is hackernews.

Yes, on a episode I watched a couple of days ago the cop first tells the camera "we have no proper evidence to take this suspect to court. None whatsoever". He than talks to tge suspect and says "some people told me I should talk to you abo

And the author of this article doesn't take in to account the possibility that Apple gave Gizmodo the phone to build up the hype for the new iPhone? It's the oldest trick in the book. Costs just one prototype and the whole internet is talki

For me coding is definately therapeutic. I'm getting my MD and doing gene therapy research at the same time. Doing some coding during the weekends make me relax (and angry if I cant fix stupid bugs :P). It makes me totally forget the other
