Is it punishment? He's not under any kind of duress.

I would say that "punishment" is the wrong word, and with it, we can draw much stronger negative interpretations that I feel might be appropriate. To me it looks like it was a social bet, between two friends, and he is doing it fo

Looks fine to me in the Xcode iOS simulator; maybe the text size is a bit larger than necessary, but thats about it.

Australian summers are a great way to experience the advantage of DST (though obviously only some states choose to do it). Even the early hours of the morning are bright and warm, and enjoying dinner with the sun setting late into the eveni

I would also argue that expecting an object to carry type information is an unfair expectation of a non-object-orientated language.

Is it illegal wire-tapping under US law if you enable the service voluntarily?

Hard to use on Android as well, since it sets ahistory state for each slide change. Get to the end of the presentation and have to press Back a hundred times to get to where it started. Not great.

This is likely due to privacy; particularly in countries like China.

Argh. You can't use Open Sans Light as a body font...

Illustrator is an absolutely fantastic tool for print production and design. It is not a suitable tool for SVG, hasn't been for many versions (if it ever was).

I would assume contributor agreements would be very important for issues like this if they were ever to go to court. But I doubt it would have been acknowledged by GitHub in their response to the complaint.

If we put aside all of the valid concerns about burn-out, work-place satisfaction, work-life balance, buy-in\equity, and flexibility that have been raised here by others, it looks like there is another problem: It sounds like the effort you

I would wager that the chance of closure through financial pressures is supremely more common and likely than sneaky government intervention.

If I recall; these helicopters kept getting re-routed due to a nearby conflict and this not only annoyed Coppola but was one of the reasons why the film was delayed and ran over cost.

If you build your house on a river-bank, you can hardly be surprised when a flood washes it away. I guess that's the risk with any entrepreneurial work, that someone will get to market faster or build on an existing user base (in this

IANAL, but I would definitely say so. There have been stories here on HN in the past about people have to hand over laptops and passwords when crossing the US border. A country's laws apply to its citizens and those visiting.

Unrelated, but on the matter of Minecraft mods; I really wish we had a nice modding API that didn't involve haphazardly de-compiling the Java byte-code to make changes.

Ars did a post-mortem of sorts that explained just that, that Righthaven did not posses any actual interest in the copyrights themselves, and had no standing to sue. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/05/

The thing to remember about "big companies" is that they don't just spontaneously come into existence at that size; with x-thousand employees, y-percentage of market share, and z-millions of revenue. They are grown, over year

You signed up to Hacker News 10 minutes ago just to spew bigotry. I don't think its what this community needs. "Adria wins" as a username was pretty telling of your bias as well.

I would say that if they were trying to appeal to women, they shouldn't have counted them, and listed their place of birth, in lieu of you know... meritocratic qualities.

Women listed as perks of a job, almost as "employment benefits," is thoroughly degrading. This is definitely the kind of issue that needs to be addressed in the community, and it not suitable to disregard smaller occurrences of se

I'm sure their existing female developers enjoy being objectified like that, no doubt a horrid place to work...

I don't particularly see an issue with this, but I welcome any insights to convince me otherwise. You have no expectation of privacy when in public. My question is whether there is any difference to someone following you around a mall

I would say otherwise, seeing as that it was a known vulnerability, and left in intentionally. Very much a backdoor.
