Trivia, but Gleghorn-South Kilgore is in Arkansas (AR) rather than Arizona (AZ). It is an interesting case and I wonder how Google decided that location was important to him. Contextual search is really tough, and the same choices that migh

Fascinating essay. I enjoy and appreciate the references to Buddhist ("Eastern") philosophies given that the paradoxical thinking is what most of us attribute to it. What is the catch with Aeon? There don't seem to be ads, pa

"York is a city near Toronto." Just to clarify, both York and North York are now a part of the amalgamated city of Toronto (1998), and do not exist as distinct jurisdictions. Colloquially people still refer to North York, but seld

This mirrors my own experience with IMDB -- it is of dubious merit for big budget recent releases, and I've always suspected (based upon nothing but a sense of "what else could it be?") that Hollywood has long understood the

It sounds like they're just letting the campfire burn itself out, and I doubt next year's renewals are all that great of a concern. They wanted to get one last renewal in (to be "profitable") under the radar before essen

How could you have gone ahead and posted such a banal, irrelevant comment long after I made it clear that the linked content doesn't matter? Sad attempt at a dogpile?

No, I didn't read the article, nor did I claim or indicate that I did in any way. Yet here is yet another front pager about Chrome experimenting with something that Safari on iOS has done for some time, as if people just discovered

Surprised to see so much attention to this: Isn't it exactly what Safari on iOS does on hundreds of millions of devices worldwide? EDIT: And given the seeming confusion by some, no, the "article" (if a couple of screenshots

That analogy hardly fits such a complex situation. This advice is more akin to "if someone is breaking into your house, call the police and hide in a closet". Situations may be a little more complex than that.

I've gotten my karma pummeling elsewhere in this thread for taking this to task, but this is one of those cases where raw speculation is voted up on HN purely because the speaker panders to this audience, and the audience returns the f

Years in technology means exactly nothing relating to IP/Copyright/Contract lawsuits, and I find that claim extraordinary: It is the sort of thing that builds false confidence and pseudo expertise. It's also a bit ironic give

Unnecessarily defensive. Was there something, anything, in my comment that is incorrect? Are you actually a contract/IP lawyer? Note that I'm not saying that you are wrong , because honestly I don't know. Because I'm no

I am very confused that Carmack finds himself in such a position. Carmack quite famously made "Fuck You Money" over a decade ago. He was driving garages full of super expensive cars. He should have been the one with the levers.

The blog post is pure speculation by what appears to be a layman. It has no more weight than any random comment on HN. It's worth stating that because people are treating it as if a famed IP lawyer has made a pronouncement of fact, whe

Topics do trend, and the various camps will quickly rush to author and promote things that conform with their worldview. Users will search for correlating content to submit. But to address something that is a personal peeve - "And from

By this measure, the comment of every single person who says that they were cut off innocently is just as useless to this conversation. Are people going to admit that they thought they could click ads on their site endlessly through Tor pro

That post reads like a complete fake, not least the absurd "don't be evil" nonsense. It reads like fan fiction, or rather hater fiction. Like someone got the ban hammer and is doing what they can to try to get some sort of am

iOS, Blackberry OS, and Windows Phone all honor carrier tethering flags -- if your carrier says "don't tether", the device will not legitimately tether. We know that. It has been the case for time eternal. We also know that c

iOS, Windows Phone, Blackberry OS -- they all flag and honor carrier tethering usage allowances. Therefore, by this simplistic logic, to all of them you are the product? I doubt Google's intentions are quite as simple. It's enti

This is simply wrong , and you clearly don't understand Go (which, as we've amply seen, doesn't stop people from pontificating about it).

Your haughty response is so incredibly out of place that I have to think that you replied to the wrong post or something. But there you have quotes from the parent post, so you must simply have a trigger finger for trying to point out that

Go's native synonyms of lists, vectors and maps are already "generic", so I'm not sure what your point is.

These sorts of posts are profoundly boring. I know people will up arrow it -- some sort of spiteful "Down with Go!" contrarian thing, when they aren't talking up rust -- but it isn't because the content is interesting or

There are many interesting lessons from this tale, but the conclusion that automated deployment would have saved the day seems a bit of a jump. Automation does not protect you from either automated devastation, gaps, or human errors. Your a

No, it's not like saying that at all. "Unless you disagree that they for example replace a lot of the barley with rice and corn" The ingredient lists of the "cheap" beers were, in most cases, set in the 1800s, and r
