I wonder what part of this comment was a reason to slowban me?

So basically people are learning that the first Google result, especially if visually "enhanced", is usually irrelevant advertising? That would concur with my personal experience, …

Airbnb's concept, however wonderful it may be when it does work, is full of practical and legal holes which are now beginning to emerge. The big question is: can Airbnb close those…

How about, sit back, watch what happens and learn . Even if one of us calls it right, which is sheer luck with so little information, the OP clearly has most to gain from experienc…

Or you could just do that. I once had a junior dev that showed up in a suit (okay, no tie) every day . And this in an Amsterdam broadcasting and advertising company, the kind of pl…

Part 32904 in the continuing saga of "my stand-ups suck, so all stand-ups suck" . Sorry, not even going to bother with non-snark response. I did that the 32903 times before, and so…

I see you're new to the internets. Sorry, that was cheap. However, in your haste to patronizingly chastise me you're making multiple faulty assumptions. a) I'm not new to HN. Just …

Learn English like a Dutchman and end up with a really confused British/American hybrid accent... ;-) Seriously, subtitles are the main reason most Dutch people speak English, trad…

I did exactly this, almost instantly, and the next first thing I saw because of that was this comment... I don't understand how people even get it into their heads to immediately a…

"Our template has as we speak been sold a 361 times within half a year and it's still increasing. Themeforest rated our template worth a $17." Yes it is. Which basically means the …

You're my new hero.

A 40 year old degree in anything alone isn't good enough to stay employed in any field. Except maybe teaching.

Wait, wasn't the discussion about Wordpress themes having to be GPL (being purely derivative works) over and done years ago? You create a derivative work of GPL-ed software and cal…

AirBnB may be the canary in the coalmine for tech, maybe more than the privacy issues surrounding the majority of the current tech business models. The industry idolizes "disruptio…

> "illegal theft of intellectual property" Say what? Such bizarre phrases make me seriously doubt the intelligence and education of the people who wrote this.

I'm tired of these kind of generalizations. Our open plan office is geared towards developers and quiet and peaceful 95% of the time. Standing rule is, you wanna talk, you take it …

How does an incoherent paranoid extremist rant make it to the top of this thread?

My body language will tell you if I want help or not. What phrase is used to initiate that interaction is completely irrelevant, but attempts to entrap me in an interaction I don't…

On the one hand, I agree with the notion that "working with the established market" is a better business strategy. On the other hand, kissing up to reactionary incumbent market for…

This has been an issue since the day I started programming for the web, back somewhere in '95. It has regularly come up on HN, and pretty much any programming related forum I've us…

To me, Jaron's arguing for a robust middle class seems more like an opportunistic smoke screen than the actual core of his argument. Especially if you look at his utterings from th…

Lanier would like to make a living as a musician the old-fashioned way, by selling albums through the music industry. Since the copyright-exploitation industry has been under threa…

Doesn't that "gross an unappealing" apply to most US advertising. I don't know about you, but I thought commercials in my country (Netherlands) were stupid until I watched US telev…

If people would actually read what he writes on twitter instead of the sensationalist blog posts derived only from those tweets, they would get a much more nuanced picture.

This is an argument on par with "they hate us for our freedom". This kind of intellectually lazy and arrogant attitude will only serve to alienate SV further from the rest of socie…
