I didn't really "get" why oData was cool until I watched the keynote about it at MIX. They start getting into it around 61 minutes into the keynote http://live.visitmix.com/MIX10/Sessions/KEY02

The want the whole thing to go away, even if you're in the right, a lot of times it isn't worth suing. Look at Barbra Streisand - some dude took pictures of her beach house, she was upset and sued him over it. So instead of the handful of p

I know a lot of people who like resharper, but I'm a CodeRush guy myself. I've evaluated both and CodeRush has a much better UI (no modal dialog boxes) and does some awesome stuff with graphics so you can preview what your code will look li

For the record, the United States interned first generation Japanese-Americans, Italian-Americans and German-Americans. They were still denied due process which is definitely unfortunate, but they weren't interned because of the color of th

According to the timesonline.co.uk article the video was online for a full month before it was removed, and it was a top ranked video under "most entertaining". I don't think this should have gone to trial, but I do think its fair to say th

This article is great, I've always felt the same way but this essay framed it and worded it perfectly. Having my thoughts more organized on the subject will come in handy while discussing politics with certain friends. "You mock the simplic

I love how he tells his staffer to buy the printed book and not the version on the kindle. The author goes on to say that the printed book is marx, the kindle book is rand. History makes it pretty clear how your economy will wind up using m

Judging by how well global warming articles have been doing on HN, I think it is pretty safe to say that hackers are interested in the intersection of science and politics. Myself included.

For the record, what is wrong about concentrated wealth in the US, if everyone has a high standard of living compared to the rest of the world? Some people are more productive and generate more for society, shouldn't they be rewarded for su

The sheer arrogance of the author of this article is astounding. Apparently he knows all the answers and the American people are a bunch of idiots. The general populace may not be the most informed, but in general they're much better at det

I don't know how much I buy the "the oceans are getting more acidic" line. The oceans are 3 orders of magnitude larger than the atmosphere, and CO2 makes up 380 parts per MILLION in atmosphere. oceans: 1.384 × 10^21 kg http://hypertextbook

The big advantage to code contracts is that they prevent null reference exceptions at compile time. Catching potential problems at compile time via static checking is preferable than throwing an exception at runtime. Your code is more resil

this is the third or fourth time I've heard the phrase "good on them" on HN. I would typically expect someone to say "good for them". I'm not trying to bash your language skills or anything and I don't think it sounds wrong, just differen
