    I really don't think it's some horrendous oversight to expect that people will be kind to a service that you offer. If you offer anonymous and free image uploading it's not wrong t…

    Two pieces of advice from a very drunk technologist. One, never approach a community that lives and breathes startups using words such as "fairly certain," and "try." They have no …

    The most you can do is write a professional letter calling Rdio out on their tomfoolery and how disappointed you are in them. Aside from that, sueing them is really your only optio…

    This might be cool in theory, but no way in HELL it's the 'easiest way in the world.' As of right now, only chrome can transfer files to chrome, and firefox to firefox. As of now, …

    Pseudonyms !== Terrorist If that was the case than any single person who uses a proxy, VPN, or Tor might as well be a terrorist; you're attempting to browse the web with a pseudony…

    Although I fully support Clappers prosecution, his attorney is just going to say that he was protecting ongoing classified Government secrets, and the entire case will be dismissed…

    People sometimes forget that although espionage is indeed a crime, Snowden did not release these classified documents to an enemy of the state, but rather the American People. Our …

    HTTPS everywhere; that's all I have to say. Something like this is very malicious and very hard to detect -- unless you ALWAYS use SSL. I noticed right away that the DNS was incorr…

    There's a lot of negativity in this thread, so I'll simply say two things. 1) If you do nothing, nothing will change. Protesting might not be the best choice, but it's better than …

    No - I was remarking that my father was a good man and police officer, and I didn't appreciate the police bashing going on in a thread on HackerNews that served to inform the publi…

    No, I simply think it's wrong to, in general, generalize. I've read this thread, and see a lot of police bashing, it's wrong. My father is a good man and has done his duty to the S…

    I do really love the features idea. Being a developer myself, when I create a piece of code to do a specific thing and release it to the public it's not for monetary gain, but to h…

    This seems like it could be a very good business model for developers to employ. Maybe someone could start a service based upon it. I could see it doing very well.

    This I support more than paying for bug fixes.

    It depends on the issue I suppose, and what I was using the code for. Obviously I want to help out other developers, but if we start adding to the idea that 'paying for open source…

    I just wanted to say two things here. One, this is an incredibly damaging tragedy. I truly wish the best for the community, for the Reisse and Oculus VR family. Secondly, my father…

    I'm a college student -- I live off of ramen noodles, and whatever I can steal at my parents house. $230 per month simply isn't in my budget. I was excited because ramen isn't heal…

    I'm actually really pissed off at this product -- as with many, I've had both high hopes and reservations since the start of this whole ordeal. With me being a college student with…

    Honestly, I really don't think BTSync should be compared to dropbox, it sends the wrong message. When people say 'dropbox alternative' people immediately think "Oh cool, so it can …
