I created this account after a couple of years. My main account is 1000+ days old. Seriously. This summer has been depressing to watch HN go down the pan.

Just don't do 'login' type work at public wifi :/ is that so hard? Do people not know this already? Did some people ever think it was safe to use public wifi for anything other tha…

Either you'll do a great job getting people out of debt, or you'll be profitable. You can't do both.

shrug pretty much. The issue is that framework docs are often better than js docs. So instead of people sitting down with a decent js book and learning the right way to do somethin…

Don't believe the notion that making 100 websites that earn $1 a day is easier than making 1 website that makes $100 a day. It's not. Create value, make users want to stick around,…

They probably realize that linux/osx devs will look at their stuff and laugh out loud at its lameness.

2k = 95% of what you'll ever need. FWIW browser differences are always vastly overplayed by 'framework' developers.

When exactly did he say "women should not run a startup."? > "I write in a gender independent style (unlike your comment!)." That seems fairly silly considering 95%+ of founders ar…

wow you have been able to do this on linode for years :/

I agree with you - I wouldn't use a webbrowser on a games console. But the population disagrees - they do :/

FWIW, I disagree. When MS announced support for facebook on the xBox, I thought "hmm why not just give users a browser". Then they announced twitter integration... "Umm how about j…

You don't find it absolutely bizarre that it doesn't even have a web browser? Even when a tiny DSi has a very capable browser, smart phones have browsers. And a big gaming console …

Digg is just a couple of years ahead. Lets see where Twitter is in 2 years.

Same as Digg. Betting they'll be acquired.

Agree. The fact the xBox gaming console has the power of a supercomputer, as evident from its fans and overheating problems, but doesn't even have a simple webbrowser is all the ev…

Put a macbook on top of it for 10 minutes.

> "They also developed the Blu-Ray format; possibly they get licensing fees for that?" The Blu-Ray format sums up what is wrong with Sony. It's a dead end format which probably won…

It's a great movie. Also really funny and surprising just how little time/mind share/effort they seemed to spend on the actual product and users of it. Of course that could have be…

Every chatroom looks the same. It's like moaning that email clients steal UI from each other. Of course they do.

Try Mibbit. It also does desktop notifications now (In Chrome).
