Well that sucks.

Pretty sure they just trimmed the branches a bit for the box to drop.

Do you have an example of a bad idea in Wordpress that has a real-world impact on a sizable portion of its userbase?

I agree they are not exclusive, but I can see how my comment suggests they are. There's no harm in people doing both, and I agree they're more likely to vote if they participate, b…

This is why when I vote, I put a lot of weight on those who advocate campaign reform and voting reform.

Having access to every communication made by most of the population is a hugely powerful tool. People in power want to stay in power. They know they can run these surveillance prog…

I think you are taking my post too literally, but please feel free to explain further.

The issue is not a lack of awareness. The vast majority of the voting-capable population has heard, to at least some extent, that the NSA/others are surveilling communications. The…

Are you concerned about privacy in your own country? You should be voting for leaders who don't allow the US to put their fingers in your pie. As an individual you should be taking…

I'm not sure what this is supposed to do. You're showing a congress a list of people who disapprove of privacy violations. Then what? Congress knows people disapprove and they don'…

This is a really unproductive way to respond to someone and is discouraged on HN.

They're really selling the ability to draw on pages. Who needs that?

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is pretty cool. I like his transparency. He writes really useful things. His writing about salary negotiation is probably the single most useful thing I'…

Don't tell me what to do! I'm clicking it!!!

I'm surprised there are not more people on HN who don't use Dropbox due to NSA/privacy concerns. Do you really want to worry about all your files, which are probably your most valu…

Paypal got $3MM in VC in 1999, which is really what the OP should have said instead of "sold".

I should have said the flat part before an exponential. Like a hockey stick.

Any thoughts on why getmagicnow got such an insane amount of upvotes? Especially when there was so much negativity in the comments.

No growth could mean you're still at the flat part of exponential. Linear means it's definitely not exponential.

You can opt out and this won't be a problem. Tell them you can't lift your arms over your head and they won't even pat you down.

I would imagine the majority of people tithing do not exceed their standard deduction and therefore don't include their donations on their tax return anyway.

I wonder if the pilot gets charged expenses for stuff like this - either by the coast guard or the cruise ship that picked him up.

Not sure there's enough drama to really make this a good movie. There is some drama and bickering and Romero leaving when he got bored but that's about it.
