This tweet became a hot discussion on twitter between Sam, Dave and many others who had something to say. IMHO Sam took a strong stance with his tweets; he probably has a justified reason for doing so. Many subsequent replies gave examples

Exactly. I can access Github without any problems as well (in Mumbai). I tried my home wifi, office wifi and Vodafone 3g and it worked from all of these. In fact, today I can even use Vimeo and Weeby which were blocked until yesterday.

I'm one of the more recent users of HN and after I started liking the content I saw here I thought of this too. I would really like to use an HN/Reddit like application restricted to different networks of people that I know to sha

After reading this article, I thought of gifting Dr. Wayne Hayes' ice vest to a friend. I googled Hayes and I found his website: http://coldshoulderweightloss.com . I found his website shockingly bad. I wonder how anyone cou

I agree, automated graders with thorough test suites are really great. Would you mind me contacting you for some feedback/thoughts on a product I'm working on? I think you could help me out since the product has got something to d

The language of the article (& the report) suggests that it's what the developers earn. I may be wrong though.

I've learnt a lot on MITx, and I've also benefitted form other MOOC providers. But MIT Prof. Flower's views on OCW & MITx are not wrong. I would love to know what the people here think about MITx, edX (& other MOOC pr

I really hope the same. There was a story on HN just a few days ago about an Indian from Cornell, who came back to India to do an India centric startup. Here's the story about why he chose to come back: https://news.ycombina

The new design is good, but thanks for keeping the old one up too. The old design gave YC an identity in my mind, and differentiated it from the rest of the web. It conveyed to me that YC didn't have to follow web trends to get people
