Nice comment. I wouldn't have read the whole article otherwise, but I went back and read it and it's a great read. Thanks.

This is the kind of seemingly non-hacker RIP post I love seeing. I didn't know much about him before seeing this post, but the comments made me read more about him and I'm glad I did. Great stuff.

I don't think so. If a company controls their domain, they control the links. If the company goes out of business, the domain can be transferred and the 301 service takes over processing the links. That's my take on it, anyway.

It's a nice thought, but having a 1/50,000 chance of a user seeing my app when they load the App Store is the same as zero to me. You might make a few bucks here and there, but I doubt it will have any significant impact on your sales. Even

All I can think of now when I hear someone reference the Segwey is Woz playing Segwey polo on one. If that doesn't say dorky, I don't know what does.

I wouldn't be surprised if beer sales increase in a recession as people stay home and drink more beer yet at a lesser overall cost than if they went out and drank half as much in a restaurant or bar.

That's a pretty bold statement. Care to be more specific? "Might" doesn't cut it when you're publicly questioning somebody's credibility.

That's correct. They get three years of production licenses, even for SQL Server Enterprise Edition.

Right, because I'm sure they stopped using joins (as well as all the other RDBMS benefits) completely after they made those changes ;-)

Denormalizing in some areas for performance is hardly the same as implementing a key/value store in MSSQL.

Makes me proud to be Canadian. Don't fuck with our beer, our hockey sticks, and our guitars, eh? (But please just generally don't fuck with us at all, because we don't have much of an army up here.)

You forgot Eight. That would have been my choice.

It might be, but my point was more than you have no control over it, especially after it's already on the front page. Sometimes the front page is really interesting and sometimes it's a lot of shit. The problem is that everyone's definition

If people didn't find it interesting, it wouldn't be on the front page. It's not like it's not newsworthy. And it will be there today and gone tomorrow. I thought we were beyond complaining about what makes it to the top page.

It's a normal threat in business, but when customers are paying for products or services, the old companies still have some movement. If Dell is charging $1,000 for a computer and another company comes along with a way better computer for t

Does it not make a bit more sense to indicate why you're conducting the poll? I don't mind polls, but usually they're only interesting if the poster sets it up and comments on his/her own choice and the reason for the poll in the first plac

I think that can turn into a bit of a slippery slope form of justification, but on its own it's a good argument and you explained it well. And by the way, when MJ was in his prime, we were all running around elementary school wearing silver

Should be "RIP Your Posting Rights" for even considering putting that here. I'm having a good laugh over the fact that it's #1 though. I love hearing how people explain how something is relevant to hacker news when they post stuff like this

It's news to me because it's another different example of why they're rejecting an app. Is the news shocking? No, not at all. But these stories have actually been helpful to read because I'm getting a better and better sense of what to avoi

I'm poking a little fun at these types of threads because let's face it, they have nothing to do with this site. And anyone who needs a Hacker News post to remind them when Fathers Day is and what its purpose is... is clearly missing the po

True, but learning without doing can also be a waste of time. It's kind of like reading four books on iPhone programming before you write a line of code: you can be almost sure that an hour into your iPhone programming, you're going to star

I don't think that's a good solution for a lot of cases. When a service is free and everyone gets the same thing, something usually has to change if you're going to get anything for it. It doesn't have to be a lot -- could just be to remove

I know when I watch the Canadian version that a casual viewer would think that anyone going through their first round of funding has to give away half of their company to get funding. I think a LOT of people think this is normal just from w
