Maybe, but there's a big difference in hearing the "geek in the family" talking about yet another tech subject without really hearing about it anywhere else, vs. visiting a web site only to find it ta…

Exactly. Basically everyone else in my entire family has no clue about SOPA, or if they've heard of it, what it really could mean for sites they visit every day. If web giants -- those that are used m…

I think this would work well. I had an interview once that had me complete 3 small tasks on my own: a debugging task, a database task, and a small web site. All three had to be completed in under 2 h…

I'm fairly new to HN community, so just getting a feel for what is appropriate. IOW, this isn't questioning the judgement of the OP, just trying to educate myself: Why is this relevant to HN? This s…

Something that occurred to me when reading this that had not occurred to me before. This could open up a new channel for attacks against web sites. Forget about those that are just posting content wi…

Nintendo issued an official statement, according to IGN, saying that he miscommunicated his intentions and priorities, and is actually not officially stepping down: "Video game designer Shigeru Miyam…

Part of me agrees with what you're saying, and in some cases, I do acknowledge this and try to give business to those that truly provide a valuable service to me. However, in the case of BB, I'm less …

Maybe not WalMart, but this is exactly what Best Buy has become for me. I love going into Best Buy, just to be surrounded by all the high tech goodness, but I never buy anything there. I go to che…

If I were a doctor, I think I would be more prone to recognize a "NO CODE" bracelet over a tattoo. A tattoo is a decision you made on a single day. Wearing a bracelet is a decision you make every da…

What about database design debt? Or is this still considered technical debt? In our company, this is 90% responsible for the paralysis that is keeping us from migrating from a 10 year old enterprise …
