At first I thought this was just embarrassingly wrong, but it's more than that; you fabricate details to try and make your point. This is what the SO login page looks like: http://i.imgur.com/4Z8P8.png SO doesn't push Facebook logins -- t

Are you sure? I thought they were generally ok with it as long as it was the same information the user sees, just presented differently to help Google index it better

I saw "a link between two nodes in a graph." and typed "edge", and it filled in one further down the column: "a link or arc between nodes in a graph." apparently they wanted "arc" for the first one?

Terrible! We so badly want to give away a million dollars, and yet all these people will do is give us a massive improvement on recommendations without taking our money! We are pissed - Netflix

"9- and 10-year-olds differing only in socioeconomic status" I suspect differing in socioeconomic status would cause other differences too

I can't believe the Tetris company actually cares that people clone Tetris. It's the cloned game, there must be 10000 different clones out for every platform in existence

How could this possibly surprise anyone? What will kids like more: 1) A TV 2) An interactive TV that completely encompasses the feature set of (1) while also providing endlessly more flexible and varied content

I used to use Read it later, but it was really buggy; it had a habit of overwriting saved pages so the page would have one title but a different URL. The developers were aware of the problem but seemed to be having problems fixing it. I hig

Usually the blame falls to the OP rather than the article. People tend to summarize titles, and by summarize I mean remove critical words that completely change the meaning

Does HN ever ban sites? I know some other site would do that, if the same domain got flagged too many times all submissions to it would just get banned

He launched the site last night and has tons of traffic -- that's the opposite of fail. Fail is "I launched JustHackIt.com six years ago. I'm really enjoying managing the site but didn't expect to have no hits ever and I'm tired of it."

Yes, and minor screwups are unfortunate, so "I think" isn't particularly necessary. My point was that "I think" and "unfortunate" are overkill, it makes the sentence essentially useless

"'We think it's an unfortunate situation,' she told ABCNews.com." Are weasel words really necessary here? They think it's unfortunate that 40 flights were delayed? They think correctly

Er. Who forgot about those, they're trivial web capabilities I suspect every web developer knows. That's like saying "Some programming innovations you probably forgot about: functions, variables, assignment"

It just annoys me that the age where you're "an adult" is completely subjective. It used to be you're an adult at 18, which should imply you're done with age restrictions, but no, you can't drink for three more years. But if you go to the m

This was good too: "Why would anyone want to watch anything other than new releases" And this is why Netflix's share price is a good 15 times higher than Blockbuster's right now

This is the default plan9 editor. It's interesting but I hated the massive reliance on the mouse to do everything. The article even calls emacs "keyboard-intensive" like that's a bad thing

I'm not really sure why you'd ever want a website to do this, even client side. There are tools like apg that do exactly this; what does the javascript version offer?

It's been talked about before, but the "password reset" concept really needs to be looked at. Compromising somebody's e-mail means you have access to everything they've ever signed up for, because every site has a password reset and lots of

I watched the relevant minute from the clip, wtf is wrong with this guy? He made fun of the start button thing and everyone laughed, and then showed the super confusing Windows print dialog and compared it to a "747 shuttle cockpit", which
