I'm sure there is always due diligence since the people pitching can always lie about purchase orders and the like. Sometimes a shark will even explicitly mention that the deal is contingent on something else coming through. I've

Very interesting solution. I haven't listened to Security Now in a while but it's good to see Steve Gibson thinking about these things.

Yep. Usually when talking about salaries the median is used and it is stated explicitly when talking about the numbers so I was surprised myself when they kept using the word average. After all, there are 3 ways to calculate averages so it&

> The average web developer here earns $93,000 AUD? That means that half of web developers are earning more than that. Not necessarily. They don't mention whether it is the mean or median.

Yep it says I'm a cheap fuck . It was better for them not to pay and offer some other form of recognition if they weren't going to shell out some real money.

> No, there’s no harm starting at the lowest rung; you do, after all, start at the bottom and make your way to the top. However, it is a bloody outrage when the lowest rung is treated exactly the way Shudras were treated in early-India.

My preference would be the clean, hierarchical view but there are a few filter-type scenarios where the order isn't known ahead of time or matter at all. For example a user might want to view a/b then append c/d (a/b&#x2

I'm not 100% sure how the process works but from what I've seen, when the analyst is examining a company or product they work mostly with the website and other marketing materials, which makes it possible for the tool to do one th

I fail to see the connection between the end of web development and using javascript to write code for hardware (something that has been done a long time ago).

You definitely want to store raw text in flat files and store metadata in a database. By metadata I'm not referring to only the values found in the html page's meta tags but other things like page hash, word count, link count, e

Sure, if the idea is to make the 10 in 10 x meaningless. My point was that saying something is 10X implies that it is quantifiable. That developer can be assumed to be above average but you don't know that he's 10x. Maybe he work

With so much mention of 10x on HN I'm surprised Grant Cardone isn't on here or at tech conferences selling his book. That brings me to my point, a car salesman selling 10 times as much cars as other salesmen is clearly 10x, how do

Thanks. This reply cleared a lot of things up quickly. I couldn't really pinpoint what this company was doing from the copy. Btw, it was a good read. I'm definitely not the target audience but it kept my interest.

I'm not the first to jump up for more regulation, and for something like this I'll be the first to admit that it's my responsibility to read the fine print, but this is very deceptive. A line needs to be drawn somewhere and c

I wasn't able to tell right away from the screenshot, even while knowing ahead of time. I must tip my hat to say that this is a brilliantly executed dark pattern. It is a myopic move on their part because even though they will make som

I was referring to winning in terms of being a business. Yes we all hate seeing them swallowed by PayPal but at the end of the day it was a business, not some organization trying to do social good.

Right now Braintree is a big winner. They built a great alternative and successfully exited. Longer term it does make things very favorable for Stripe.

Actually that's one of the things that annoyed me. For quite a while when you try to login at braintreegateway and you clicked Forgot Password it asked you to call them. There are somethings phone calls are good for and I don't th

No thanks. I definitely don't want a site to have the ability to set my clipboard. It will be much easier to help spread malicious links (visiting a site using paste and go). Plus what about the annoyance of having something in your cl

What about the crawling? How much traffic does that generate? I'm just wondering if you are hitting one or more of the sites very hard and they complained to DO about it.

That's the best thing about vim... there is always more to learn. I think it might be boring otherwise

Ha! I've always felt that way about exclamation marks in a lot of marketing copy. I can't help but think that the person that wrote it was coked up!! For some reason it annoys me :)

It seems to be the norm in radio too. I've noticed in talk radio there is always an unpaid intern. You will always hear on air personalities talk about when they were interns too. I'm not sure if it's just deeply ingrained in

Like MySpace? I think people should let their tools look the way the want it to, but it always goes downhill from there. It's one of those things where it's better to just keep it simple and standard looking.

For a new market the area covered is pretty good. Your neighborhood probably got skipped because of Uptown :P. Notice how far west they go in Logan Square but Humboldt Park is skipped?

Yea, I thought this sounded like something that was on HN a long time ago. Then again whenever there is a story with Linus + f-bomb it is bound to be interesting. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4132025
