Then don't visit those websites. If you haven't paid money to access the content, immediately turn away from websites that are free and ad supported. If you don't agree with it, why do you have the right to not only "ste

It's a shame this is even receiving front page publicity. This is ultimately terrible for everyone except maybe a few anarchists that think they deserve every websites information for free while sabotaging the publishers who work to de

I've always wondered, do you need a licensing deal to use individual player stats etc. to run a site like this? If not, it seems like the barrier to entry would be quite low and you wouldn't even really need the network effects th

Having recently read "Trust Me I'm Lying" from a recommendation on HN, it's hard to imagine this isn't a PR piece from Uber.

Am I the only one who thinks the available/previewed watch faces don't match the intended goal of the device? This event was all about fashion, inviting all of the fashion journalists and talking about personalization. Not a singl

This presentation looks like it's going to be on another level.. even for Apple standards.

Very interesting information, but I can't tell which industry you mean as the parent was referring to both casinos and f2p games? I assumed f2p but I've never heard of account managers giving gifts in f2p games, that would blow my

"This article appeared in print under the headline 'China's Google' is on a roll'" ... Which was a much more appropriate headline for this article. Did they start changing their online headlines solely for the

Considering flash sale sites are emphasized in the article, I don't see how Groupon doesn't break the claim that there are no public ecommerce companies worth over 2B (Groupon market cap is around $4B)

So out of curiosity, what would be the easiest way to securely accept file uploads? Taking into account all of the possible malicious attacks.

Site loads for me. However I recall seeing your site many months ago, and I think it's a great idea, but misspelling "guarantee" on the homepage really gives it an illegitimate feel. Aside from that, best of luck. I think you

My guess is that the recent 'nearby friends' feature from FB was no coincedence. Once I'm already being alerted that my friends are at the bar I just drove by, why not an alert that the ice cream shop I just passed is having

There are billions of dollars at stake. They know what the estimates are the whole time, and they have a pretty good idea for weeks/months on whether or not they are going to hit them. They would be borderline insane to not have PR pla

I wonder if people already have gotten a head start on becoming ad-blind to these types of ads...

Yeah, that seems like a terrible "license structure". If he added irrevocable I think it would be sufficient for use, but as is I can't understand how you could currently feel safe using it?

This was ultimately a massive bait and switch and I can't believe more people don't find it disgusting. Facebook gave off the impression you would be able to reach people who became your fan on their network.. until they didn&#x27

Well Telegram advertised getting 5 million (~1% of WhatsApp) users in a day shortly after the sale was announced. Correlation doesn't always imply causation but in this case that's quite the coincidence.

And what percentage of Snapchat users do you think have any clue who that is? As an HN reader (so already a tiny minority) I still don't know who he is.

The amount of time it takes you to create a US Dollar isn't how you would measure the cost of something. It's strictly based on the value of that item. And with .0015 Bitcoin being equivalent to just over $1 USD, it's not muc

I agree with you wholeheartedly. If you don't want someone else to use your product name, don't use one of the most common English nouns in the dictionary.

The corresponding AAPL quarter for the same timeframe would be AAPL's Q1 2014 results from this week, no? Which would be $57.6B (Net: $13.1B)

Happened to me as well. Can't understand why huge companies with a wide variety of visitors use techniques that deliver sub-par experiences so often. I'm running the latest version of Firefox with a $2k Macbook Pro.

It's a legitimate question, although maybe not worded perfectly. I care whether it's me or someone else who ranks for a keyword, maybe my site is better, and I (like anyone else rational) would prefer to make the revenue. I think

I couldn't agree more. Almost every site is defaulted to nofollow. My opinion is that nofollow has actually come full circle and now makes it easier for the spammers. Since almost all legitimate links are nofollow, the only way to get

The traffic driving methods used are much more useful if you know the site/market they're being used for. I'd much rather people included the project URL than not.

Creator here.. Been working on this site for a couple months now and I think it's ready to get some feedback from the HN crowd. I moved into a new apartment and my walls were bare. I wanted to get my favorite quotes printed but couldn&

The movie "In Time" is an interesting view on how the world would evolve if that were the case. It's one of my favorite movies and it provides a perspective I'd never imagined.

The example images they use are the ideal use cases for each of these techniques. The rocks photo has no hard edges. Wood texture by nature is similar to what posterization does. These tricks won't help in many cases. Although if you d

Thanks. With that being the case I'd feel like the sales estimations would all be rather low.

Will the iPhone 5s's currently on China Mobile be able to utilize the new high speeds once this occurs, or will they need a new special China Mobile iPhone to use the 3g/4g? If that were the case I would expect a large portion of
