my memory is a bit hazy but wasn't the most dangerous part of agent orange the fact that it was contaminated with very toxic dioxins rather than the toxic properties of 'clean' agent orange? Why would Turkey resort to chemical warfare when

My guess is that the most unqualified job seekers don't know about HN. You have to be interested in Tech/startups to stick around HN for the most part. And perhaps are the users who read the Who's hiring threads more restrictive with to who

I was also confused by the alleged use of agent orange. It seemed to make so sense to me. A chemical weapons expert interviewed by a Swedish newspaper said that it is unlikely that Turkey actually used agent orange. They do refer to it Oran

$20 seems a bit much for a single page PDF that is, I assume, only slightly different from the classic business model canvas [1]. The page does not explain why I should pay for the canvas, why is isn't the classic BMC good for a SaaS model?

Hilter's rise to power was through an election but prior to that there was lots of violence etc caused by the Nazi's so it shouldn't have been any surprise that he was a violent individual. Mussolini led a coup d'etat to take a power. And S

I think both seem like very valid ideas, though I have little knowledge regarding Big Data so I cannot tell you for sure. It is still up and coming so I think there are large opportunities for those with enough knowledge how to handle Big D

Ideally you would want to be in a niche that will directly influence revenue, makes it easier to sell your service for a high price. patio11's post in this thread is a good example ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5769870 ), increasin

I have not read about how the extradition was handled (counter-terrorism things that is, in which document is that?). The three months wasn't strictly solitary as far as I can tell but it gets spun to all hell every time 'häkte' is mentione

The evidence looks pretty strong to me, but I am not an expert in any way. Anakata's encrypted files (which the police did manage to decrypt) and plenty of IRC and server logs among other things. A quick overview of the investigation sugges

Yes, that was my intention. Turns out I need to work a bit on my English, I can be a bit unclear at times I fear. English isn't my native tongue so at least I can blame my shortcomings on something :)

If the OP I replied to don't scream of jealousy I don't know what does. That said, you are very right: Most startups fail, or barely break even. But without the inspirational properties of the likes of Instagram, would SV be the same? Would

You appear to be very jealous of their success. This is Hacker News, we should celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit and look at the lessons that can be learned from success stories like this. If I could build Instagram and sell it for $1b I

That is very true, it is unrealistic for us to travel to SV to just socialize. Speaking at conferences seems like a great way to build a reputation and get to meet people. If only I had something to speak about that would interest people...

My guess would be that it is harder, especially to get connections like Zuckerberg, if nothing else because he, and others like him, are now quite hard to reach. That said, getting to know the up-and-coming Valley entrepreneurs should be do

No limits on taxis as such in Sweden, there used to be but not anymore. However, you need to be licensed as a taxi company/driver and provide certain details on the cab, like price comparisons etc.

Assuming the map linked in the post is correct, it does seem reasonably likely that EC2 is at least getting parts of it's power from coal. After all, ~41% of American power comes from coal according to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/

They tried (and succeeded in one case) to transfer money between accounts, without authorization so illegally transferring money seems to be the correct wording? Stealing does tend to be associated with physical theft?

How on earth could this app get funding? If it were a male->female app there would have been an outrage about it. Moral issues aside, I can see a lot of libel lawsuits (at least in the UK) springing up because of this app. There are eno

Why are the checkout pages even public? No robots.txt, a lot of private information listed and public. Shameful. I know little about web development but this seems rather obvious, even to me.

This is a genuinely interesting question. I can manage my own linux server well enough but I could not in a million years scale a larger system.
