BtM909··on GitHub has 11,995,200 open issues
It makes sense that this will only grow if people will export their (remote) repositories to Github. ;-)
BtM909··on Amateur ISIS Investigator Ends Up in Prison
Which was the major reason to arrest him in the first place.
BtM909··on [dead]
A bit of background info. The request to (officially) transfer the domain was denied back in 2005: http://www.adrforum.com/domaindecisions/547889.htm
BtM909··on What It Feels Like to Freeze on National Television
They're used to be in front of the camera, so it became natural for them. Seeing someone not comfortable, wouldn't freak them out, again because they're at ease.

It was actually not really good and I hope this guy will either get used to these "public" speakings or find a way to "get control" of the situation.

BtM909··on Ask HN (again): What is the best affordable programmable drone?
Just link to the product without all the ref parameters... It feels like you're just dropping links for referral fees: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MNG37C2
BtM909··on Building the Casper homepage
Is it me (my browser) or doesn't the website currently have those animations?
BtM909··on A letter to our daughter
>Man evades taxes He or Facebook as a company?

>scams his coworkers Citation or clarification much appreciated :)

BtM909··on Ask HN: Why 80 characters for titles?
On the other hand, it forces you to think about a catchy title instead of copying and pasting it from other sites
BtM909··on Ogo, a new take on personal transportation
I actually saw a disabled guy driving some sort of Segway but with a chair. That seemed more practical and useful compared to this.

This was in Rome which isn't known for its nicely paved streets.

BtM909··on Google Is 2B Lines of Code, All in One Place
Sarcasm son....
BtM909··on A collection of debugging stories
No critism, but why would this be different than some of the contributions on the daily wtf?
BtM909··on Google hacked account
I'm assuming you've tried this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/50270?hl=en&ref_topic....

On the other hand, it is a free service. If you'd have the business subscription, they do have a helpdesk you can contact by phone: https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/support/

BtM909··on Reasons to fly a on a private jet
The biggest reason is money...

Or the lack of money to not use a private jet :P

BtM909··on Introducing Meteor 0.9.0, the Meteor Package Server, and Isobuild
You're completely right. Although I think meteor is eating its own dogfood ;)

Normally you would use meteor for your webapplication and only render the dynamic parts with meteor instead of the entire page.

BtM909··on Introducing Meteor 0.9.0, the Meteor Package Server, and Isobuild
Weird, no matter what I try, it only updates to 0.8.3 :(
BtM909··on [dead]
icle

on a serious note: always wondering why people want to test stuff by using just the word "test" :)

BtM909··on Europe's Rosetta probe goes into orbit around comet 67P
I think jeroen94704 is saying "With the masses of the comet, and the spacecraft being relatively close"

[comma added]

BtM909··on This Procedure May Improve Your Brain – and Uncover the Real You
OT: I hate sources like this (no offense to you poster) that only allow you to read the news if you login...

Why would you want to scare away all these readers if you're dependent on these readers?

BtM909··on CDN for JavaScript libraries
I just picked the first result from Google. This isn't StackOverflow, so I could imagine that the topicstarter would actually do some research himself.
BtM909··on Ask HN: What are the benefits of putting a beta sign close to the logo?
As always, I would suggest A/B testing!

I would guess that a beta logo could potentially hurt if you only have a paid subscription. If you allow free access, it basically tells users that not everything might be in place (so that would actually help you keep users).

BtM909··on CDN for JavaScript libraries
It's not a representative test (as I'm only providing one source), but I'm seeing lots and lots of websites proving that CloudFlare is faster than Google's CDN.

It might be because their "userbase" is still smaller than Google, but for now that might be 1 interesting reason to use CloudFlare.

BtM909··on Ask HN: Please explain ("controversial penalty")
This will help you understand the problem better: http://www.righto.com/2013/11/how-hacker-news-ranking-really...
BtM909··on How secure are passwords stored by Firefox and Chrome?
OR you open up a ticket with Mozilla and help them (in)directly to make the browser more secure. If you uninstall Firefox, it won't increase security for others :)
BtM909··on Should we trust all of these frameworks?
See Symfony's (biased, but true) answer: http://symfony.com/why-use-a-framework

Or look at what they say at StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/279003/why-do-i-need-to-u...

You should replace trust with use and hopefully you'll see why a solid framework will help you focus on what you're trying to achieve instead of fixing security holes you didn't think of.

BtM909··on SaaS Product ideas
Are you looking for HN to provide you with potential ideas you could implement?

I saw a reference to a website on DIGG that would be a search engine for startup ideas.

BtM909··on Ask HN: posting to blog+fb+Twitter+newsletter?
Can't you turn it around and use blogging software (hint: WordPress), which have the ability (hint: plugins/extensions) that publish your stuff to the different media?
BtM909··on Show HN: Ever seen such FX in a HTML5 game?
Sorry, what specific FX are you referring to?
BtM909··on Dreamise – Dream Giveaway Platform
You do realize that these types of titles just back fire on you. People would click the link, realize within 3 seconds that they were "rickrolled" and they close your page without even assesing if they might be interested in the info listed.
BtM909··on Http://astartupfounder.com/an-then-it-hits-you/
If you don't know what to do with your blog, would it make sense to start a blog?

I hope you achieve what you want to achieve, but I would use your (limited) time and spend it in the areas that would help you create your startup :)

BtM909··on Ask HN: How many Hacker News readers/commenters have six-pack abs?
I have a pretty decent six-pack. All I did was look(up) what you put in your mouth and Insanity. I'm currently doing T25 as I couldn't plan 1 full hour of workout everyday.

There are quite a few YT videos showing you routines you can do in limited time. The key is (also now when you've joined a gym) determination and actually going :)

Good luck
