What happened to paying her for damages? After the initial blog post, you said you'd do it. Then this post by her makes it clear that you didn't, and are not going to. So which one is it?

I will take those downvotes with pride. I bet none of you ever managed any people.

Don't understand why you're getting downvoted.. if this was Reddit, then yeah, but I expected more from HN crowd. I was about to post the same thing - this is no surprise to us Jews. As the saying goes - may you live to 120 years!

To be fair, I don't think Matt should be expected to respond to every complaint about Google on HN. Nobody appointed him the official Google spokesperson on HN, he's just another visitor here. Google is a huge corporation and AFAIK, Matt ha

I got really confused by that too. I think 99% of target audience are going to think "oh, it's a web-based terminal app". They should change the name before it's too late.

And that's reason #1 we don't use Github. Assembla lets us host all of our git, SVN and Mercurial repos for free.. currently we have 32 and counting, no issues ever, without paying a single penny.

If Recurly had some issues in their beta/early after beta days, that's understandable. But Paypal has been screwing users for 10+ and counting. I have myself heard at least 20 horror stories about PayPal freezing money for no reason. It h

You should use something like Recurly or Chargify + a real payment gateway/merchant account for subscriptions. Using Paypal is just asking for trouble. We've been using Recurly for our clients and it's been working flawlessly (kind of expen

Where is Last.FM on this list? It's actually the best (in my opinion) service out there. Their "discovery" feature is the best, and simplest to use - just choose "Play artist/song/tag XXX radio", and it will play related songs for you. Thei

It doesn't matter that they cut costs compared to "what was traditionally available". What matters is they RAISED costs compared to what they had before. For a long time now, I shared a plan with my parents - they used the DVD's, I used unl

I got an opposite reaction... Seems like whenever I opened that page, the only thing I could was drag things around, Google Maps style. And I really wasn't sure what to do next, took me a while to find the "Take the tour" button. From the t

Judged by whom? If you're talking about self-judgement, and judgement by G-d, then I fully agree. But as far as people judging other people - I think only actions and to a lesser degree words should count, because we never truly know other

This. Intentions for good deeds should not count - those are private and for your own use only. What should matter is things that you say or do, not think.

If this is a success, do you have plans for the same event in NYC? I would love to come, but I think if it's in CA, then most companies would be in CA also..

Why not? I think it's a great idea, and if technical recruiters "get it" enough so they come to this event, I would actually want to work with them. I bet those won't be the type of recruiters who ask "Well, I see that you have 10 years of

Of course, if you take two different pieces of software and implement one in assembly language, and the other in high level, you can't claim valid comparison. But if you take one algorithm and implement it in both languages, assembly implem

Assembla has been working great for us, and it's free. Currently we have 20+ repositories hosted there, both git and svn, all free. Not saying it's better than Github, but so far, we haven't felt a need to use github, since there's a good f

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. You didn't pass any judgment on others, just saying that for you and others it's not justifiable. I 100% agree with you - I had many opportunities to go into that space, but had to decline all of them
