Fair enough, you're right. It could be time to get ember.js on to G+ & drive more votes. I'm going to change the title of this to be a call to action.

This has nothing to do with Google Plus, its about Google driving users to vote for their products instead of other open-source products. The distinction being that both of these projects are OPEN SOURCE - therefore Google should not be tak

Hi HN, my co-founder and I have been working on a Google Reader clone in the last few weeks, we're not quite ready to launch, but would love to get feedback as soon as we've opened up our beta: http://beta.newsmaven.co We promise to have

To be honest, I'm not particularly bummed that our team Contactable ( http://becontactable.com ) got rejected. If anything - its encouraging us to try to hustle harder, get a prototype to market, obtain paying customers and building a profi

Bummer, we just got a rejection email for Contactable ( http://becontactable.com ). The email came via Mailgun, here are the headers: Received: by luna.mailgun.net with SMTP mgrt ????61; Fri, 16 Nov 2012 01:17:01 +0000

Every time someone managed to get a custom printed Coke bottle - the proud owner inevitably photographed the bottle for display on Facebook - which of course is the real genius behind their marketing campaign. It may have been an expensive

I agree, there are hundreds of guys in India that are doing a great job advancing the stated of the art - and you'll never hear a peep from any of them. Ankit and Rahul are just good at talking themselves up. There are plenty of people in I

I'm curious to know whether people in the US holding senior positions are not subjected to non-compete periods following their termination with their current employer (e.g. not working for a direct competitor for a period of 3 months etc.)?

MaysonL, I believe the US position is to prevent patent violation in underdeveloped economies regardless of where the research was done or who owns the patent - this makes sense from an economic perspective given that the same could happen

I'm 30 and am in an identical decision - except, a few weeks ago, I made the decision to resign from a well paid job at a startup. A close friend of mine from university are going it alone for the next 18 / 24 months. I'll be relying solely

Amazing, I wonder what this means for creationists and more importantly - our understanding of our universe?

I think its wrong that you are espousing password security, when you have not taken the required steps to secure your own accounts across "a ton of forums"? Security in the real world is hard. I worked as a penetration tester, so I have som

I suppose it is somewhat related to physical security and the general mistrust of TSA agents by some HN readers. I agree with you though - not quite HN worthy.

Amazing, I'm quite surprised this hasn't been picked up by larger media outlets. Whilst there's nothing wrong with a 3rd party service accessing a publicly available web-site; for my ISP to _willingly_ on-sell my web access history to a 3rd

Nice dude, my wife cooks for the both of us while we work on bootstrapping our startup. Nothing like a healthy, lovingly made meal.

Nice one dude, good on you for taking the leap. Any thoughts on what pitfalls to look out for after quitting and doing my own startup?

The major difference I see between starting a company somewhere in the USA versus outside of the US (at least from my sheltered Australian perspective) is access to an engaged market. Not to mention that the risk culture outside of the US i

@nl you couldn't have summarised better. There are plenty of problems in Australia, including insane housing prices, negligible government support for the manufacturing industry and comparatively lower research & development spending (I

I was in the same predicament a few months ago after coming up from Australia (though not for job interview ;-)). My wife and I rented a car from San Jose and drove around. If you are used to public transport in Europe or even Australia - y

Great article, although it doesn't seem to suggest any strategies for countering memory loss. I may have to purchase the authors book to find out ;)

Useful, especially if someone needed to do a quick and dirty 'webifying' of an older desktop based python app. Keep up the good work!

Likewise, I thought code-search was invaluable. I used it often while coding. The plus side is that the team could reflect honestly (and in public). At some companies, commenting publicly would be a career limiting move.

I agree. To demonstrate an exploits effectiveness - it has to be exploited in a realistic situation (in this case the app store).

There's always this flip-side to reporting security findings. I don't know the details of Charlie Millers exploit, however had he gone through the process of informing the vendor (in this case Apple) and then allowing sufficient time to add
