This is an interesting argument, and it's hard to say anything without data, which would be hard to measure imo. As a counter, my intuition is that masks also remind people of the …

Hi brw, Your code remains living in its original repo. To keep things easy, it'll support only GitHub repos at first, then any Git repo, then potentially other source control softw…

Here's what Shapiro says: "The word "hacker" in its well-known computing sense has a first citation of 1971 (contributed by me) in the Historical Dictionary of American Slang. Here…

Further down the article there are other examples: The “sources of material” included many people the Nazis sentenced to death for minor crimes, such as looting, and many convicted…

I agree with you that the post is soft on Obama, and personally I'm disappointed with the Administration in general. However, I think the main point of the article still holds and …

I think the Economist did a great job on this in their recent piece: http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2013/06/wh... Think about the incentives to the _President_ (…

I agree completely on the GH slow down / fail whale type of problems. I use GH for about 12 hours a day almost every day, between open source and client projects. I face slow downs…

I understand the frustration with GH limitations (no burn charts and hardly any reporting). For us, the minimalism ended up working in harmony with our process, but I can see situa…

This is a great point. We have ~10 repos as part of our product, so we faced the same issue. After toying with different solutions, we settled on using two dedicated issues-only re…

I respectfully disagree regarding Fogbugz vs. GitHub issues. I used FogBugz for about 6 years in a major client project (a successful SaaS product). We used FogCreek's hosted solut…

My experiences with hiring and paying overseas devs have been pretty easy (I'm in the US). We have paid using SWIFT transfers, which sometimes require a bit of work to set up, but …

It is a much better set up if the overseas worker can set up their own company, especially in the case of Brazil. Then the US company does not need to worry about any of this, they…

Hi speeder, I have hired a number of devs in Brazil for telecommuting work in the past. We've done a fair amount of mobile dev, but mostly it's HTML / JS single load apps, not usua…

But why can't Dropbox become the main provider for this fully cloud-hosted architecture? So I keep my cloud files in Dropbox, and grant my cloud apps access to subsets of those fil…

The two top-rated entries in the HN comments for PG's essay are disagreements, both stating that the essay is flawed. I'm not so sure the groupthink is really that bad here on HN.

Agreed, but the charity bit was a special touch: In the spirit of the season, you might consider donating it to the charity of your choice Beats a standard "you keep it" corporate …

Very cool. Had it been Paypal, they'd want a picture of a burned X-Box surrounded by crying children to prove authenticity. MS has been controversial commercially, but socially I t…

Gates is rumored to have scored a perfect 800 on the math portion or his SAT. He was studying Math at Harvard and published a paper in 'Discrete Mathematics' despite having dropped…
