Why do you make fun of gold investors? Given all the financial scandals and outright fraud that have been revealed over the years, you still feel that legitimate concerns of gold investors are nothing more than wild conspiracy theories?

Google is a serial offender when it comes to privacy violations. Not really different from big banks who are caught committing fraud but always manage to settle with a big wad of cash, without having to admit any guilt whatsoever.

Have you forgotten Google's history? i.e. StreetView cars guzzling down Wifi access point data.

No such thing as a free lunch/wifi. I suspect Google want to capture data which they are currently missing out on due to people using 3G/4G networks. Also it doesn't hurt to improve their image in San Francisco. Non-paywall

This is one of the reasons why I have a bad feeling about Mono (see my other comment). In another HN discussion, a person from Xamarin said they didn't have the resources to keep Linux package management up-to-date. However, they score

Vala looks interesting. It would appear that with GTK libraries available on Windows and OSX, a port of a Vala app should be trivial. Valac compiles to C and then GCC takes over for the rest of it. It seems like the most well-known Vala ap

Are there many C# jobs in San Francisco?

by yapcguy 13y ago
I like C# and I'm impressed with Mono but there is just something not right. It might be irrational but knowing that Microsoft's DNA is everywhere makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm also not happy that Linux is a second class

Are Xamarin tools really the holy grail of cross-platform app development? What are the hidden gotchas? What about MonoDevelop for the desktop? The Windows and Mac download packages are at v4 but Linux at v2.6. Are Xamarin slowly abandoni

What's annoying is that SnapChat got lucky, real lucky, and now they're acting as if they have a secret sauce worth protecting. Jokers.

Maybe it's worse? Maybe it's related to an earlier incident? From Feb this year: "Earlier today it was reported that Apple’s computers had been compromised by a zero-day exploit in Java. Apple quickly released an update to

If open source projects had always required $50,000+ to get started, we might not have GNU/Linux today. Why can't you start the project first and then ask for donations later? Are you saying that unless you guys get paid you&#x27
