Seriously. You can't be a thought leader with a generic blog template. It's almost like he's not even trying to promote himself and impress the digerati. Your thoughts mean nothing…

I call bullshit - nobody finishes at the end of the porno.

First off: you're responding to someone saying "he knows what he's doing," and you saw an opening to insult Rob Pike so you took it. That's the entire point of your post. For every…

If this is an important part of the user experience, why can't Canonical provide an "Advertisements" or "Amazon" settings UI that can turn these features on and off by a checkbox? …

Are you kidding me? It's SO much easier and captures far more useful debugging data. How many typical computer users do you know who can submit as detailed of a bug report without …

The idea is that if you reuse a formal parameter name and have not used _, then you more than likely introduced a subtle bug. For example x and y can look similar enough next to ea…

> your tone is a bit argumentative. Are your feelings hurt because people are arguing? People use different tones in different contexts. Sometimes people need real pushback and not…

Just because someone's bailing you out (VCs) doesn't mean you aren't going down.

I wasn't trolling. 3d flyover? One quick query for [google maps 3d] gives this as the top result: http://www.google.com/mobile/maps/3d/ And yes, there's textures available for thos…

My new goal: come up with someone clever enough that Apple rips it off and I can ride their coattails. That's the best I can ever do, right?

Snarky comments have always existed on HN. Whether they are downvoted or upvoted is up to the community.

So the word "fanboy" is not an accurate term to describe anyone or the level of discourse about a subject? You think that everybody on this website is engaging in rational, high-mi…

You seem to have misunderstood "mere accusations." Takedowns due to "mere accusations" to me means that I can fire off an e-mail if I see a kickstarter project that looks sketchy a…

> Some level of proof is still necessary, though. Not just an accusation. Is anyone arguing that mere accusations should result in kickstarter takedowns? You make a good point... j…

> I'd say so, yes. Proof beyond all reasonable doubt is a lovely standard for a criminal justice system. Note that it is not used in civil suits in America - only criminal cases. W…

> Can we actually prove fraud in any of these cases, though? Is this the standard we want? If you used an investment service which said "we require proof beyond all reasonable doub…

If you think iOS 6 maps are in any single way an improvement over Google Maps, or anything other than a power play in general, you're pretty damn likely to be making a worthless fa…

Nope! They're just bad at their jobs.

Just look around this thread. Apologists abound. HN isn't immune to worthless fanboy comments.
