This anti Craigslist crusade is just ridiculous. The most impressive thing to me is how some startups that a knowingly violating TOS and intentionally abusing another site are able to gain that much traction for their "cause". Impressive PR

indicating there might be some significant overlap between the two userbases I am more than willing to out myself. The discussion is exactly proving the point why 4chan is such a fascinating place. Sure it has lots of "distortion" but in

I have to admit that my perception towards Twitter is very similar to yours. In comparison to Facebook or Google they have been very transparent about Government activities - for example by fighting government subpoenas of the Occupy protes

Thank you for posting this. I wish there was something like HN for interesting papers. This is definitely worth reading due to its high practice relevancy.

Not really a well thought out suggestion, but wouldn't we get a lot less of these lawsuits when there were a stronger defense mechanism in case the alleged patent owner looses? It seems that changing the patent system is a long shot project

Opera user here. Site looks quite torn apart here as well. I always have sympathy if there are design elements that are challenging, but the layout looks quite straight forward. So you better have a good reason not having invested $5 in som

I gave up commenting on YouTube at that point where Google forced me to auto login with my Gmail account. It is already bad enough that they can trace my viewing behavior. But I can see their side of the story. YouTube is holding a massive

Very similar to my experience. I hate the creeping "accountization" of Google services - especially since they started to auto-login into YouTube. The problem I see with Google is, that the switching costs are really low and there is not a

Personally I think this development is actually a good direction. People need to feel the pain before they react. So far privacy has mostly been attributed to "some internets movements". But if everyone (incl. politicians and their families

Did you ever try one of these outsourcing sites which have no minimal amount for projects? I usually just go with fiverr in these cases. In fact I use it so much that it almost feels like the craigslist of digital services and can't help my

You are spot on. The original headline is wrong as it is not a major label but a major music publisher who is responsible for the takedown. BMG Songs is (almost) exclusively representing songwriters and composers - who can be signed to com

The problematic aspect seems to be, that a) Obama was singing the song and b) that there are lots of videos on YouTube of exactly this segment that were not taken down. And in political campaigns there are no automated take downs - just de
