My interpretation is that the author wrote this article to find something about Kubrick that defines who he was. Kubrick is known to have demanded perfection, jotting down tons and tons of notes and details. But the public only seems this s

Yes let's clear this up. 1. ~52% of Californians voted for Prop 8. True. But Prop 8 was also confusing to votes as to what "Yes" or "No" meant. Supporters of gay marriage were worried that people would believe Yes

This shouldn't change your view point either way if you hated the fb acquisition or were fine with it. What I mean is the people generally angry about the acquisition was not due to the personnel but Facebook itself so this should chan

How quickly does your company reply back to good/bad resumes? As an engineer who was recently looking for a job, I found that companies just aren't very organized when it comes to looking for new hires.

Great... If this article title was about Digg's history... we can judge it on those merits. But the title tries to somehow relate this to HNs new policy change when HN is barely mentioned. That is deceptive. If your summary is actually

What the hell? It seems like someone just threw up an article that refers to HN at the beginning, then the entire rest of the article is about digg and how it failed. It offers no reasoning at all about how they are similar (they are not).

Nothing. It is only different in name. Oracle owns the actual copyright on JavaScript via Sun. ECMAscript was used so the ECMA would not have to worry about this.

Why are we still using watches as the base of new wearables? Is it because it makes users more comfortable with wearing a computer on their wrist? Also not really sure about the round LCD, why not a curved rectangular LCD?

Where the logic of him being "it" falls apart IMO is this: His name is Satoshi Nakamoto, so he is vain enough to put his name on arguably one of the greatest technical papers of this century yet when directly confronted with being

I hope the new search engine will eventually get the same index as the old one I was searching for some articles where the old search would get me lots of results that the new search would not return. So I'm hoping that's an index

Terrible headline. I knew they were DDoS'd a couple of days ago but then panicked when I read this headline. I thought they were hacked didn't realize it. For a tech news site, the reporter should know better.

Shawn Fanning was part of tons of "crews" on EFNet. Just like anybody else who was on irc at the time. Before WhatsApp's purchase, the "napster on irc" byline was, #winprog taught him all he knew about winsock progr

Interesting that they didn't restore the old email addresses for people who kept it or didn't know their email showed up as *@facebook.com. Or at least it didn't seem like it from the profiles I viewed.

Reread the article. His "all-in" is referring to N3PLs move of bringing in their supercaps/titans. > A big reason N3 has been able to throw its weight around recently is its enormous fleet of titans and super capital ships
