"I want people with a good heart and a giving personality" - it's a little weird to hear this from a proprietary trader and hedge fund manager :)

It's disturbing to see a comment prefixed with a concern about downvotes, which suggests a gropthink environment. This is a hackers community. Please speak up without fear of lost karma or reprimand from the local celebrities.

I hope SEO can be expected to go extinct in the coming whatever and be replaced with "good content" approach. It is unfortunate that Google even addresses the shady SEO community boosting their might and glory.

You may want to check one of those "lost/stolen Android" apps for your next Android. They allow you to control device remotely, find out GPS location, erase SD card, etc. Quite useful.

A lot of people don't remember Palm OS, but as someone who owned a Palm TX device, I have most fond memories of it. And I still consider it the best handheld device that I had (including my current Nexus 4) in terms of both design and UI, a

I very much enjoy the trend of "tobacco as low class and bad". I can finally go places without inhaling crap and washing my smoked hair and clothes afterwards.

It's quite surprising to me how persistent is the "don't be evil" brand [1] announced more than a decade ago. Since those lean, startup days, Google has evolved into a grand corporate machine with vastly different set of goals and values.

Heh, I always find it amusing how Americans go berserk at the word "socialism". Marx would be proud :) Yet at any rate, socialist policies are virtually non-existent in the U.S (well, except the oldies like 8-hour workday or paid vacations)

I see Oracle as cancer of the corporate world. An old dinosaur who happened to slog into 2013. The new generation of young and socially responsible will hopefully put an end to their kind.

I agree that they should have been more vocal on this issue, cause information vacuum gives way to posts like this and surely it doesn't do them good PR-wise. As for Cyprus, given how volatile and wild the bitcoin ecosystem is, I only tend

I find these rather funny and well carried out. What greeted me, however, when I opened the site is this: http://app.umlbin.com/view.a?show=8a78d3b23d8d5a99013d8d698e...

They'd won a fair banking system with emphasis on commercial operations rather than endless rigged schemes on the investment market that are advantageous to few and destructive for many.

No doubt you know your trade. The problem is that it's more of a witchcraft and the way you smoothly lay things out here in the complex intricacies of the financial sector evades people from the simple fact that the banks fucked up. And the

I say let them default. Can't manage your assets - go out of business. Employ shady schemes - go to jail. Now this would be fair.

In contrast to a lot of discontent about the Reader's demise, think about the opportunities it brings for this market? I've seen at least 10 alternatives popping up these last 2 days. Google leaving jump-started the competition in a seeming

I see your point and it makes sense. However, calling this FUD simply by stating the lack of data is not less of a FUD in itself. And on a grander scale, how many times you have seen a small shop taking a big corp out of business? I don't t

Yes. I was all sympathetic with a poor famous author who made pathetic $12k on his bestseller until I hit the number of copies sold: 4000... Huh? Suddenly, $12k sounds like a pretty good deal. I should note though that when I hear about

Well, this is annoying. They auto-redirect to Google Play if you open the link on an Android phone. Reminds me of those online news papers that actively peddle their viewer apps, when all I want is to open a god damn page to read. Could hav

This is an unusually bleak and uninspiring message. Reads like a mundane press release. An average update from a small startup founder is more exciting.

Our yardstick is far too short to make any universe scale ranking on this subject. However, what we lack in knowledge, we thoroughly compensate in sense of ego and self-importance as species :)
