This wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't included the part about Zuck actually explaining what he meant by the "hacker way". It's like they breezed right over it and started making references to Anonymous as if that has anything to do with w

Seems like a tacit admission that they believe the terrorists are somewhat incompetent. That guy sure did seem to have a lot of trouble getting his underwear lit.

The bars are crowded, eating establishments are packed, noisy has hell. But how many of those people drove to the downtown area because there were no equivalent establishments within walking distance of their suburban homes? Not tr

Most people would be appalled if they saw what the police get away with when they ask for search warrants. In the two areas I have personal experience with, the process of getting a warrant is an administrative inconvenience to the police,

I've taken the weeder classes at decent colleges and I have to say that "not up to it" simply means undisciplined. While my experience isn't all-encompassing, I personally haven't seen any undergraduate class that couldn't be passed by alm

You're right. Most users won't. But if 1% of users actually do that's an enormous impact. Right now, there's nothing to even push them in that direction. Even users who get riled up will probably feel their work has been done by signing

I'm totally happy with what Google did to their homepage. It will definitely get attention. I'm disappointed about their call to action. It vaguely points users to a message that "Congress" (who in Congress?) is doing something bad. Sig

I'm in the US. I just recently switched to a high-deductible plan last year with an HSA account. My deductible is $5000 and my monthly premium is $98 (for an individual plan -- self employed here). I have and plan to always contribute th

I've tried rest-client, em-http-request, and mechanize. I don't recall their specific failings except for mechanize, which seemed to work awesome in 95% of cases and produce cryptic errors with the latter 5%. I will take a look at httpart

I didn't find making moderately complex HTTP requests in Ruby to be much more fun than urllib2 in Python. Do you have a library you recommend?

I don't really think it's limited to high school and college. The average Joe Sixpack American is likely more concerned with his nearest professional football team's performance than any other singular element of his life. I was born and

I agree. I've worked for years, sometimes with people that I've never met in person, and had great working relationships while learning very little about their lives. I enjoy having separate work and social lives.

Well-armed criminal groups and government forces can have a war. I don't think anyone disputes that. But you can't go to war against a concept (i.e. drug use).

Does anyone have any decent Comcast alternatives for South Florida (Palm Beach area)? I'd love to flip off Comcast over this but I'm not sure where else to put my money. I will be needing internet access, after all.

I transferred my domains to NameCheap from GoDaddy during their last PR nightmare. I wish I had done it sooner. NameCheap's interface isn't the best in the world, but not having to use GoDaddy's site is worth more to me than 5x the transf

If you're coming from Java and using a Java IDE you'll probably feel most natural moving to Scala. I personally came to exploring Scala and Clojure with limited Java experience (and a preference for Vim and the command line) so getting sta

I've been following this comment thread and I have to say that I find most of the argumentative and/or confrontational attitudes to be a direct result of your complaining. If you don't like Django that is fine. But don't expect others, wh

A fitting exit on his part. Got them riled up one last time. Update: #hitchslap seems to be doing well, also.

Up vote from me. I thought it was funny. In fact, I might even know some people who would suffer through the cycle you described.

I've used Pathogen previously and I have to say I much prefer Vundle. It's the only plugin I have to manage in my .vim directory. All the plugins I use are listed right in my vimrc, and running :BundleInstall does a git pull from each plu

My rule is to only use Facebook on my iPad. I typically do all my work on my laptop so when I'm on my iPad I can be sure it's leisure time. I would probably put HN in the same category but I can't stop commenting on everything that's remo

Congratulations to the Evernote team! A great product that I use all the time. Glad to see them being recognized. I don't even use any of the premium features/expanded limits but I still pay for it because it's just that good.

I don't like that this position is assumed by default by so many wronged parties on HN. If you're really eager to take the noble path, explain the story as objectively as you can and let other people decide. Letting other people get burne

If we had to pick a loser here, I'd still go with Zendesk.
