Interesting choice of karma score... :) Right now, there is no such exclusivity, nor would I really want it, personally. I would, however, want to recruit moderators from HN, especially those with higher karma.

Jesper addressed this in the IRC channel. Basically, the traffic was not actually reaching the box, it was just saturating the available bandwidth to the EBS store. Moreover, since the attack was against EBS and not EC2, I'm not sure that y

I wonder if there are photographers that specialize in the "I'm a rich douche" headshot. Probably pays pretty well...

Let's be honest here, Apple could only do it because of the relatively small size and loyalty of their user base. Apple users have proven themselves willing to upgrade in a timely fashion. Windows users are more likely to stick with an old

It's probably my fault for the wording, but you're completely misreading that. All I'm saying is that someone with a personality has a better chance, all else equal. Without a cover letter, I can't know that.

That probably could have been phrased better. Of course accomplishments in the field are important. What I mean is that if I'm kind of on the fence about a candidate, I'm more likely to say 'hire' if they show me who they are.
