I like how the bad Reddit PR articles that were appearing last week for the investigation of Violentacrez were all flagged into oblivion due to "not technical enough" yet we continue to see articles like these.

Is there any way to block YC posts?

Lots of Reddit fans flagging these articles... no surprise. A huge Reddit story revolving around online anonymity is certainly newsworthy. Great article. Certainly more newsworthy than sodas + teeth.

Free speech? Free speech would be not banning Gawker and allowing Gawker to doxx the scumbag. Free speech, right?

This would be great if it were all apps, not just a select few.

My point was that it's not "mostly free", any serious business or website with a decent amount of traffic will be paying $$.

Or pay a small $10k+ fee if you want to do one of these common things: * Your site is only available to paying customers. * Your site is only accessible within your company or on your intranet. * Your application relates to enterprise dispa

Obviously some major problems with copyrights in the Olympics but "ruined"? Come on...

Are you kidding me? The only similarity to an iPhone is the rectangular shape.

Credit cards can be used by any thief, hacking tools cannot. A Lockitron hack tool would likely be more in the realm of Metasploit. I'm not saying there won't be hackers/thieves who could do it, just comparing to stolen credit cards is si

Where did you get the idea that they want users to upgrade the hardware yearly?

Can you expand on the "actively hostile" comment? I thought it was a technically and aesthetically impressive implementation but I'm no designer.

Apple App Store: "2.6 Apps that are “beta”, “demo”, “trial”, or “test” versions will be rejected." Minecraft is in the App store.

I think any hostility you see is due to his comment of "I'd rather have minecraft not run on win 8 at all than to play along.". He'd never be dumb enough to do this so why say it, and why stir the pot with everyone who thinks Minecraft rea

Completely. I want to use my tablet but always end up using my laptop on the couch or desk. The only times I prefer a tablet would be on an airplane or in bed.

Are you claiming that over saturation is worse than zero saturation? To be honest, I can't remember the last "missing child" face I saw. If I visited Reddit today and saw a face of a kid in my state that was missing, I'd be more likely to

Yes, it is. I like to keep up with new technologies so I can better determine which language to choose for my next projects.

We're a small business with 20+ repositories and faced this problem long ago. GitHub pricing simply isn't tailored for small projects. We moved to SpringLoops which only charges for "active" projects, so we can close those projects that o

This "just works". Power line networking would require a wireless device plugged in the wall in order to control the lights from a phone.

This is in the QA: Q: How is your memory now? A: Ironically, not much better than when I started this whole journey. The techniques I learned, and used in the memory contest, are great for remembering structured information like shopping li

I couldn't find a source that he said that. Wikipedia says it's not sourced, just a variant of: > [I do not] carry such information in my mind since it is readily available in books. ...The value of a college education is not the learn

You should give the full quote. "Started noticing some of the well known problems" implies that he did know about them, just didn't notice the negatives of them himself the first couple of days. Lots of hate on HN for this article...

How is it petty? He stated multiple valid reasons why he decided to switch laptops on his personal blog. Nothing petty about them either, I can imagine jittery scrolling being very annoying/disruptive to some people.

Only one of his 5 points were "not something that disturbs your normal workflow."

Or it's a free tool that will save time for some developers who aren't "pro" Obj-C developers. Not much to complain about.

I'm not sure I follow, what's pathetic about remembering the past? I still see stories about Columbine, VT shootings, and 9/11. Today is 9/11, what'd you expect? My children will undoubtedly learn about 9/11 and probably be reminded on 9

Many people already have HTPC's with Steam to run games on their TV. The only thing this enables (or simplifies) is the use of a gamepad. It still requires an HTPC physically connected to your TV .

Well here's how it works. GoDaddy and all other host's "one-click" is installation only. It doesn't auto-update your WordPress install so yours likely contained an old security exploit and was easily hacked. This is by design, it would b

I'm not sure I follow. It's also possible for someone to map everyone with felonies, is this inherently wrong? Someone with marijuana possession is certainly not the same as a serial killer but the website isn't making that conclusion. If

I'm not sure I follow your logic. GoDaddy may make it easy for you to install WordPress but it's still up to the owner to go in and update WordPress and Plugins. I'm not saying it wasn't GoDaddy but claiming it was definitively seems a li
