Short of them having some complete breakthrough of where the server can do some massive massive pre-computation to alleviate client side computations, I don't see this happening. B…

Hi! Perhaps I should ask a lawyer this, but I'm sure someone on HN must have already faced this issue and figured it out. Here it is: Suppose I'm running a social network site and …

Can we have a poker bot competition? I'm not a great poker player myself (in fact, I don't really even know the rules) -- but I think it'd be another cool way to socialize; especia…

Can you explain this more? Why would HN comments vanish? Doesn't google follow all links?

I realize you guys aren't lawyers, but I want to see if any if you have dealt with this before. Here's what I am considering doing: I want to use the art work from GPL-ed games, an…
