seriously, are we going to get a HN submission every time github gets DDOS'd? I think we all know there's a problem now, and if github is acting up, we'll check the status page. Not sure we need a submission every time...

It's great to see a positive working experience on HN. There's lots of "why I quit" and "help, I'm drowning" experiences, but this one has made me a lot ... Happier? Good job, and thank you. I'm downl

How would this even work? At it's simplest: enable Airplane Mode, record a bunch of stuff, reconnect and transmit. They'd have so many hoops to jump through to try and keep it on during Airplane Mode I think that it wouldn't

+1 to Apple here - they don't have to do this. But maybe it's the cheapest way to: a)deal with fake chargers b)turn a -ve story into a +ve c) still sell chargers at a profit.

I guess related to yesterday's ddos attack ( https://status.github.com/messages ) Hope this isn't an Apple style maintenance window whilst they deal with a loss of data....

This is a toilet of a story! In order to effect the "hack" you'd need to be close enough to flush it by hand! Yikes, my toilet at home is susceptible to attack by the same method. I think if you have an hacker in your bathroo

Thanks for the honesty. I'm always about 'the next paycheque' away from getting a standing desk, but never commit to it. You seem to suggest an anti-fatigue mat was really important - this true? Did you try without it? What h
