These two incidents are really nothing alike. I am a guy in a tech field surrounded by other guys and I imagine it would be very intimidating for a female colleague to be around us. It would take a lot more than this comment box to go into

It's a but amusing how this coincides with the iOS7 unveiling but the new logo has been in the works for quite a while. The original motivation was for how it would look on a smaller scale for FFOS devices. I was there for the presenta

Hah I promise that's exactly what my internal voice says when I click on any HN comment thread lately.

This entire thing reads as a smear job which is quite a shame.

This reminds me of the comment PG made about people with the most negative rebuttal to the argument getting up-voted. The argument wasn't entirely about how you perceive math and more about being socially accepted, even proud, of being able

It reads that way a little but as a front-end dev I've had sit-downs with a few founders trying to hire me and in some cases I thought their ideas were stupid. It didn't seem like they wanted my opinion on their idea as much as they wanted

Glad I am not the only one with a dirty mind. I like the technique described though we've all hit these issues making favicons.

There is an official marketplace offering from Mozilla: http://marketplace.firefox.com but others are free to implement their own and no one has to use the official one. The apps will run on both the OS and Firefox for Android, Firefox De

As someone already mentioned these end-user surveys seem to be closer to popularity contests. I have no doubt MS, Google, Apple etc are astronomically more popular than Mozilla and will rank higher based on name recognition. These results p

The parts that matter are quite well run but the marketing side of things could apparently use some polish. For what it's worth this is simply a dev phone announcement and not meant to be a consumer device announcement. I am quite excited f

I get the core of your argument but we put humans in these positions of power because we believe they are able to use a non-scripted judgement in determining which cases deserve attention. On a broader note I believe the way the law was wri

This is a truly great experiment since it revisits something we've typically considered "solved". The current experience behaves a bit "jaggy" and slow but the core idea behind this is fantastic. I would love to see where further iterations

I am with you on this one...even hardware manufacturers are promising a free upgrade to win8 as an incentive to buy now. I imagine the same is similar for the phones they are selling.

I absolutely agree but I am guessing a price tag of $300 which wouldn't quite achieve keeping the competition at bay.

For what it's worth I am hoping the 10 people with Windows tablets won't miss it too much. Then again it's possible MS could gain some serious traction in "enterprise" active-directory heavy environments. Apologies for the off-topic rant.

WebOS was targeted as an Android/iOS alternative on higher-end devices using proprietary APIs. It was also being developed by a company with shareholders who were purely focused on the bottom line. I am not trying to criticize them but ther

Yes but if your small business only does $60k in CC transactions it's likely on its last legs to begin with. You would need more to cover your expenses also...unless your business is very cash-heavy. At $200k in transactions that $3300 year

Exactly what I was thinking. Not sure how Bing and DuckDuckGo stack up but it might create an opening for a new player also - granted search is probably still the toughest game to get into.

Fixed positioning works on FF on Android but native browsers on older Android versions...not so much.

To my understanding it's not the US Comedy Central that is blocking you from viewing it outside the US but your country of origin - if they signed exclusive distribution rights for that country. Not too sure how this plays out in EU countri

I agree that this was not a specific case of PP choosing to be vile and destroy a violin but it's still inexcusable to have a one-solution scenario and keep robotic, unquestioning staff incapable of providing the human element to problem re

I use linode but I was happy with slicehost before also. Granted I've never run popular apps/websites on these so I am not sure how they'd treat abuse complaints.

We can't say that everyone is posting misinformation about GoDaddy since the best source on their stance is their initial post on the pro-SOPA stance itself. A commenter on TC also linked to this http://t.co/HwNa8MEY post by VP Nima Kel

I've had this same argument when I hear project managers talk about what the "ask" is. I don't think "request" is a complicated word.

I have to agree with this since Mozilla is an organization that defends users' rights on the web. Firefox is just as fast or faster than Chrome in certain testing so try it out without heavy addons (like firebug) and try it with a fresh pro
