For some reason, I personally feel bad about this. Being a newer member, I feel like I'm somehow contributing to Steve's hatred of hacker news. I am entrepreneurial and love seeing new projects bein…

This is awesome! It would be cool if this could be turned into a browser plugin so you could see what class site you're visiting.

I wonder if this style of negotiation tactic motivated companies like Spool, Face.com, Karama, Glancee, and Lightbox to join? It seems like Dalton's strong entrepreneurial spirit (or hard hardheadedn…

Well if they "raised money" then when Investors asked them the question along the lines of "Who are your competitors, and who might become competitors? Who do you fear most?" StockTwits should have c…

Yep "including clients of our wealth management businesses." The people running the UBS wealth management business need to be terminated. This is most likely the catalyst for why UBS is actually suin…

They need to fire the employees who thought investing in Facebook was a good idea in the first place.

This is a pretty interesting finding. Has your team considered acutally spinning off a consulting branch or creating a plugin that other companies can use to determin if they are paying for bot click…

Be prepared to be amazed. I'm pretty skeptical of what's going to result as well.

I like this article. I used to work on HA systems and I saw systems that were really HA all the way down to the electrons. Right now, I would rather have someone like you who enjoys building HA arch…

I was actually going to work on a project that did something similar. Doing anything with large files while you're on a mobile device is difficult because of bandwidth, processing, and screen real es…

Which browser are you using? I would suggest trying Chrome.

Yeah, that's true, but Google also complies with DMCA.

Didn't someone just post an algoritm to crack these "games" with 99% efficiency a few weeks ago?

Thank goodness! I made a speed trap tracking (vroomtrap.com -- graveyard) program a while ago that never got off the ground, but when I heard about their price increase, I was dumbfounded. All in al…

I don't know, read the law that Apple is citing. Apparently, it has to do with relation to Iran, Cuba, and North Korea.

Per Apples policy, it seems like all she has to do is get authorization from the U.S. Government.

Takes to long to add rap music and country music. Could you add a feature to specify the Genre you want to add?

I don't think that argument is really going to hold up against Apples legal team.

What would be the benefit of using this over something like ZeroMQ?
comment
Yeah sure you could waste all the space you want why in the world would you do that? Using a linked list is slow and inefficient with memory usage especially when you can do the same thing with a byt…

Amazon also has a multi faceted business model. Distribution, SaaS and PaaS offerings, Hardware sales, and probably some more I'm overlooking. Facebook sells ad space to people on their chat platform …

> What I'm trying to point out, as we start migrating our presentation tools to the web, is that we don't need to copy all the useless inheritance. Why didn't you name the article that then? Titl…
comment
I'm guessing that it shows that you know your tools, and can put together a proof of concept quickly. There is no telling how much of the code was copied from other projects the developer has worked o…

LOL! In their case, that is so true.
