Software brings out the best in people :)

(now if I can get this damned rails gem to work properly....)

Why do you Americans always think about suing someone?

the UD definition would involve poker, and not much else.

A thread on USENET, and a post from Avi Freedman? Wow. Time warp!

So what Facebook needs to implement is an ultra simple content claiming mechanism.

Offending video: My Video (can include youtube/vimeo/other link):

No, not automatically scalable. Facebook started this, they're gonna have to staff up to handle the problems associated with it.

I see Facebook has only recently started allowing people to monetize their uploads, so the primary benefit the "freebooters" got was traffic to their site. Maybe Facebook should take a page from porn and link-skim an equivalent number of page views from the freebooter to the victim. Talk about restitution!

(incidentally, I've found Facebook far more responsive than Twitter. Imagine what happens when the big T gets into the video game in a big way)

"I read it on HN, so it must be true?" My wife did her master's thesis on sex workers in the Philippines.

TL;DR - for the vast majority of female sex workers in that country, it is an economic CHOICE. The mostly single mothers felt it was their best opportunity to earn an income capable of supporting their families.

Those with agendas (especially those who are after your donations) are always the ones who speak the loudest.

Depends which law, and which country.

You did a CRUD on a LAMP? Eww!

Seriously though, nice work!

That really IS a nice pitch deck.

...or maybe the members grew up?

Someone mentioned the Mac Pro page, which is nice and all, but for a parallax landing page,

https://www.apple.com/ca/imac-with-retina/

did it for me. It really gets the point of the extra resolution across in a dramatic way.

I haven't seen joe for over a decade, got ya beat :)

Where's the fun in that? Excellent satire. Is this project up on Angel list yet?

On behalf of the Minister of Mobile Gaming, Canada thanks all your freemium gamers.

Now we can have our new hospital.

The best time to take risks is when you don't have any responsibilities, so in that sense, you're at the right time of your life to do this. On the other hand, if you're good at starting things but not finishing them, then why not make a pledge to yourself before you strike out on your own: Get an MVP version of your new business up and going first.

If you don't try, you'll never have the possibility for success. But stack the odds in your favour first.

I only moved to Mac this year. The one thing that annoys me about finder is the inability to back-swipe. File browser, web browser - they should work the same way, no?

If I was ever going to buy from New Relic, I wouldn't now - I've seen their retarget ads at least a thousand times. If I didn't care about click fraud, I would have made a point to make sure I cost them a few dollars.

Get jiggy with that parallax scrollin'

Obviously, it was _______

And if this one is blanked out, too, then you know I'm the newest addition to the Watchlist.

What went wrong? "They trusted me with their bitcoins."

yeah, TL;DR

My ADD brain just ain't up for that particular challenge tonight.

You know, it's bad when you remember going to the site, but forgot what you went there for. I thought I remembered it as a daily wacky-news site like fark. I guess I was wrong :)

I'll echo several other replies - it was great - nay, essential - before package managers became good.

Maybe they should have bought and changed their name to yum.com or apt-get.com (instead of freecode) and then more of us would still remember why they went to the site.

As long as you always use afdssdf@. If you ever want to log in again (without reregistering), be sure you don't use afdsddf@!

This makes me wonder if those who "outgrow" ADD/ADHD ever actually had it in the first place. Why would brain chemistry change?

(I was only diagnosed with ADD at 40)

Lets see... I recently went Mac for the first time, and what do I have on there?

For "serious" work-related things, I have Sublime Edit and MacPorts. That's everything. I picked up Omnigraffle but it's just not all that useful to me with a small screen. I'll look at using it again when I replace my desktop with a mac (or when I get an external monitor for the MBA)

Oh, and I have MSDN access, so I put Office on there. But honestly, I never use it.

(Disclaimer, I'm an old school "only have 1 page of apps on my iPhone" kind of guy)

Other things to consider... how much do you value that $100k? How long would it take you to replace? If I had 100k at 20 and I had a good job or business that let me put away 50k, then I'd go very agressive with it. Why? Because it's relatively easy to get back to zero if all hell breaks loose.

If you were 50, and had that 100k, my answer would be completely different.

Up here, we have your standard "basically a sales guy" advisors, and fee only advisors. I would imagine its the same in the States.

100k isn't usually enough to get the good guys' attention, though. It's annoying chicken & egg thing.

I've been "owned" by three different cable companies in the last 3 years. In the same house. The worst part is, the big fish who "owns" me now hasn't bothered to upgrade fish #2's infrastructure to match their own. So I now have the worst of both worlds - famously crappy support, with poor selection. Thank Buddha for Satellite.

Shrek version was better.

OK, would be nice to change the pay-to address ;)
