I think we should share the original post whenever possible (Already done here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4003597 ). TNW has nothing whatsoever to add to the original discussion, and it has been proven true so many times lately.

I have never been to a hackathon, but I do find the conditions of some of them a little strange. Why not provide normal work (call them fun if you want) hours for participants, say 8 hours distributed over three to four days? If your concer

Hey are you guys planning on doing a blog entry on how you developed this? I know next to nothing about Node.js and co and it seems like a good choice for a lot of my ideas.

Thanks for the links. I read the account. I was surprised to see that Morgenstern didn't mention Gödel's arguments. It only made a reference to the steps leading up to Gödel's own findings, like what he read on and how much time it took him

Mine said "hate IE6?". In any case I think it would have been both funny and effective if it led to their products page, something like here is how we will can take your pain away..Redirecting to twitter? I didn't like it.

This is an excellent initiative. Believe me I know exactly what you are talking about. I have gone over countless numbers of exercises In the past where I put my name and then do some selection statements but beyond that I don't know where

I agree with you, but I can think of another reason to petition against the death penalty besides mistakes. I don't think we should grant that kind of power to states because they tend to misuse it. This is more apparent in less democratic

I don't see how they can center that vision around a question/answer format. To me it seems limited. On a separate note, and given a recent HN discussion about some of the constraints Stack Exchange puts on free flow of discussion, I see a

The interface might not be the prettiest, but I don't think it's "horribly unfriendly". Can you contrast it with another player? I have been using vlc for a long time now and although I just switched to Mac OS, I can't say that I find other

This isnt the issue. You said the channel was very quiet about Russian protests and the same can be said about a lot of US media outlets (Some even call OWS nazis). This is actually true of any government; it is very hard to find a media ou

Actually Al Qaeda attacks Muslims all the time. I am a Moroccan and in 4 days we are commemorating the attacks on a hotel in Casablanca that killed, you guessed it, muslims. And the analogy between Al Qaeda and Anonymous is really taking it

Your point about rebase is compelling enough for me. :) I thoroughly missed that. Thanks.

It always puzzled me why his commits (and in fact standard commits) ought to start with a verb that is not in its past form. When I started using git four months ago (such a newbie), I would write something like "Fixed this" instead of "Fix

This is a very stereotypical view of Singapore. The idea that once outside the US everyone is a "better" kidnapping target is just absurd.

I personally did not like the colors on the repository icons. Grey just doesnt strike me as a color that inspires liveliness and energy. I liked the yellow better. Please keep some color around the repo list, thats what I care about most an

This is an excellent app, but I suppose it works best with a mouse. Using the trackpad is a bit of a pain, maybe it could have been nice to fire up that box with a shortcut?
