HN sure is one hell of a sampling bias, but it would seem everyone here has impostor syndrome. I think one important factor to feeling like you're an impostor who doesn't belong is being among others who are smarter and more experienced tha

It seems a bit far fetched that Microsoft has thousands of servers you can access publicly via default passwords. They raided his home and took all of his stuff, but didn't arrest him? How is that legal? Shouldn't he get his stuff back if t

Isn't that bad for your users though? I would feel taken advantage of if I learned that while the cost of a game has remained the same (99 tokens) but the cost per token has gone up.

I don't see how this is very disruptive. What are the benefits of proprietary currency? That is, other than locking in your users to spending their money only on your marketplace?

I had to get a new debit card relatively recently (was robbed) and it came with a 6-digit PIN not of my choosing (Bank of America). Just saying, they now exist.

I'm currently a CS student and kind of like the idea of doing Hacker School for Summer 2013 or 2014, but could never afford the living expenses. Why do you only do scholarships for Women?

A moving tribute and wonderful video in and of itself. I'm far too young (21) to fully appreciate everything he embodied. His early death really makes you appreciate the luck of being alive. From the normal to the billionaire magicians, rem

What is incredible about achievements for anything? It's an interesting way to keep users engaged and committed. How is it "the most incredible thing" regarding Software on Steam?

Fantastic read. As a current CS student (Junior), I'm hoping a GitHub employee might let me know if there are internship opportunities for next Summer? I'd love to try some SlowMerge(TM) ... and work really hard of course.

I couldn't buy the book earlier so I emailed the creator and he generously gave me the book for free (DRM free to boot!). I took a quick look through it before my last class and so far am loving it (yummm free quality content!). Thanks agai

"when I'm using xcode, i don't want other distraction to come in; so maybe find a way to make it harder for me to open browsers and other distraction" How is that related to his application? Your idea would probably make more sense as a sep

Only one I disagree with is #12, "Chastity. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.", this is breaking his own moderation virtue and is heavily

I thought it was generally assumed that all noises that come from your computer should either be muted or consumed via headphones. People actually let their computers just blast random noises in a shared place? That's like going into a libr

Your graphic depicting Server Load vs Server Instance is kind of choppy. Kind of left me feeling like I would experience a lag in your service. Good luck anyways.

I don't think it's easy to see Microsoft profiting by leveraging its Xbox division to boost PC sales (Windows license sales). I can't find a source for this, but I doubt Microsoft made much money if at all on the Xbox 360. The money is in X

He clearly didn't mean it in a sexual context. Your sarcasm and cynicism is detestable.

That burden is on us though. Assume we've taken the proper precautions, searched high and low on Mars, and can definitively say no life currently exists in any form on Mars. What does that make Mars? - A useful resource for studying terrest

Is it wrong to contaminate a space that has no life/use otherwise? I'm not saying Mars as it stands has no use, but if we find no life there, surely spreading life to another planet is "good" right?

Is it illegal to chop up payments that exceed $400? If not, I'd say this is a nice way to save a bit of money if you do more than $10,000 in business every month. Not sure if it's worth the hassle to implement though.

I agree that this is a potential problem but it is easily solved by the voting system. Low-quality submissions don't get much karma.

I honestly think people that complain about referral link are just inherently negative. A free link, that takes you to a promotion, that saves you money, and you want to point out that the guy who brought this to your attention, is gaining

Sync the changes to the source file? How would any client do that without write permissions? Or is that the point?

Are you being sarcastic? Low quality comment nonetheless. --- To parent of his comment, what do you mean exactly? Firebug already lets you change code and see the results immediately.

I'm guessing the author of this HN post is an employee at SmartAsset. Sensationalism only works on stupid people (read: for a long duration).
