I don't believe HN is strongly anti-copyright. I think you conflate anti-copyright with anti-DRM and other related issues. You can be against draconian methods of enforcing copyrights and current copyright laws while still being pro copyr

Generally agree with the sentiment, though that guy seems to have deleted his account because (apparently) his post is a big lie.

Same; my 6 mo quote was almost $1000 off. Even when I was a new customer under 25 with more traffic citations on record, its still 800+ off.

> The actual root sexism isn't the story here. It's a story about PR, or about making- and dealing with- complaints. Agreed. I'm kind of amazed how far it went. Regardless of if you think she was in the right or wrong in her arguments

looks like a large chunk of the claim is wrapped up in the losses involved in the business closing down.

It isn't "powered by" Amazon. It is Amazon's own product. Whether or not it is "Amazon for India" is not the argument at hand.

Its an amazon product. See their "hiring" page for more obvious proof: http://www.junglee.com/f/1000604193/ref=footer_hiring

Seems very inconsistent to me. You could probably manage for some shows, but not all. For example, a while ago I felt the urge to figure out where the suits from Better Off Ted came from. It took a disproportionate amount of digging to e

You maybe could. You could also be late to the party and lose some serious cash. Hard to predict when a price will stop growing and start bottoming out on something volatile like this. Its just a game that I'm not experienced in playin

I would consider it after the stock levels out. It'll almost certainly be overvalued early on and see some heavy ups and downs; I don't have time/interest to try and ride those waves. I'll wait until the knife hits the ground before I ev

I'd hesitate to call that "flipping", then. Flipping real estate is usually meant to be a short term process to extract quick profit, not a decades long wait. That would be "investing".

I live in and own real estate in a building that is pictured on that map. Some notes: 1) Not every red box is accurate. For example, one of them contains a bank as well as a parking structure, yet the bank was circled as well. 2) Not ever

Why would something like this necessarily forego theaters? I suspect that a studio built like this could work out licensing agreements with theaters, and that theaters might even become more profitable and affordable because of it.

To add my $0.02: it isn't "good" or "bad" that wins. Its skill, ability, responsibility, etc.. It just so happens that if you're an aggressive jerk, you're more inclined to aggressively oversell yourself, as opposed to the stereotypical

I think its interesting how mixed the response is. I'm rather indifferent on timeline, but I've talked to designer/UI/UX people who both love it and hate it, for various reasons. Apparently different people like different things.

We're talking about Four Seasons here. If this project cost $1m instead of $18m, I'm pretty confident that the other $17m would not be going into our profession. Unless your metaphor is more about the legitimacy of our profession. If that

I suppose my point is that it isn't unique, either. They've been doing this for years and there are videos galore including past submissions on HN as I linked.

I don't think you'll have a big problem meeting that goal. I just hope you guys can move to other markets (I assume you're only in SF right now?). There's a severe shortage of Rails devs in other places, because the best ones tend to migr

Why should someone apply to this fund? I don't see enough meat on this page to really know what'll happen. The FAQ is just the "how to apply" section. Is this the fund's first round? Who was in the previous round? Success stories? Etc.

5.9% plus $.95 or 8.9% flat per order with a minimum of $0.75 is pretty steep pricing.

It is a high rate, but as of the 9th time they had a 100% cannon safety record. And as I said, I doubt they'll do it again in this location. Its definitely an unfortunate outcome. I'm just pointing out that its easy to point fingers and s

Based on my research, the Bomb and Firing range was built in 1996. The homes in question were placed there in 2006. I wonder if you would consider it reckless to build a neighborhood next to a well-established bomb detonation site? Where
