Much and truly thanks for providing some thoughtful feedback. As someone who personally felt the pain from the juror perspective, I actually had no idea about the pains felt by cou…

Does anyone feel more reticent than usual to chime in on these threads despite this being one of the most provocative topics on HN? Asking for a friend...

That feels a bit like the "I have nothing to hide argument." Should we just accept that probably spammers no longer send address verifying emails, and tacitly approve this change h…

Yea, it's hard to not think this is ultimately not a great move. It seems rather shortsighted from a Gmail user's perspective if Google can't address concerns over spammers being a…

I'm working on getting my app (mobile and web components) into a pilot program with a local government agency. It's taken >3 months for them to review my proposal and draft their o…

I really dislike combining the notions of project and product management as if they are synonymous. It's like saying a developer and a designer are the same thing. That's wrong. Th…

I have been wanting to write a much more ranty version of the OP for a really long time. Yes, there are and always will be bad managers out in the world. But it makes me laugh when…

In case anyone is late to the party and missed the non-green lights on the AWS status dashboard, here is the page as of about 9:30 EDT... http://screencast.com/t/p69xAoDJRSer

Very nice improvements. If you haven't already gone through these multiple times, I literally soaked in these last night: http://www.slideshare.net/techdude/how-to-kill-mysql-perfo…

Yea, that's exactly what he did. He actually says he worked there for a few weeks. Total interview attention whoring in my book. "Oh, I made millions, then immediately connected wi…

This is very frightening news. Even if I did want this feature at all (I don't), I would still be extremely concerned that some site that I might wind up on will capture any person…

On my netbook, I have a multi-touch trackpad, so a 2-finger tap does the trick as well. Even with the "target=_blank" I'd probably still do a middle-click/2-finger tap to have the …

Haha. The title is exactly why I checked out the link. It was indeed about British banks. Here's the 6s version of the reference... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOdjCb4LwQY Good …
