Don't think more about the votes. Votes does not mean anything. It just means that people agree with what I say, but that does not mean what I say is right. And then there is the fact that people usually just read the root comment and do no

This is not about reliability. We are not talking about traditional servers and applications. This is a huge development because when everyone can host applications for free in their own browser we will soon start seeing new paradigms in th

This is a huge development IMHO. If executed correctly, this has the potential to change how we look at the web. This is something that can be the starting point of web 3.0. [EDIT: I agree. The example applications given are not that appeal

I am a single programmer startup. Still working on my website. TortoiseSVN (source control) is the only thing I am using as of now. I have a to-do.txt in my desktop to remind me of what next. I use Gmail to communicate and StackOverflow to

Noticed the "freedom" in the URL? Does that mean something? The Hicksdesign tweet also says something about the convenience of having "a connection wherever you are" = Freedom? I don't know, but here is what I think: Opera is already servin

Please people, please! This is not a place to post Facebook, Twitter and MySpace news. When sensationalism and hype comes in, intellectully satisfying discussion dies out.

I am sad that they do this in a website with over 70 million monthly visits! Greed. Lesson learned: If you are bad in the beginning, you will continue to be bad even after you are successful.

The article is not that bad, compared to the last 5 or so from Jeff. Atleast what he is saying is correct this time. And this time the article is HN worthy IMHO.

The takeaway from the article is that there are many many ways to turn a simple problem to an idea and every small idea can be a viable business if you work on it hard enough.

I think this is interesting, programming related, but still not very much unavoidable in the HN front page.

In web the model is different: You develop an app, push it live and find out what works and what does not, change and iterate. This means that doing the iterations with minimum time and effort are important than worrying about scalability a

This is the take away from the article: "Browser sniffing — unless you’re writing a web stats application — is always a bad idea. It’s a misguided attempt to send different content to different user agents. This is never scalable — you can’

The theme does not look right. Browsers like Google chrome will warn you about security issues when visiting a website. I don't see any additional value in adding this feature to a URL shortener. IMHO there are better ways to utilize your t
