In point I don't think it's a decline, just more of a noise issue. Many of the articles are interesting but I am noticing more submissions that have only a abstract connection to qualify for "Hacker" news.

I don't have any well though out answers to the question. I do think the more questions out there that could help solve this problem.

I'm thinking the commenting is more of a symptom than the underlying issue(s).......

Yeah I would ignore that protip, instead of taking you to jail they would take you to the Mental Hospital for trying to feed something imaginary. If indeed Tumbleasts are imaginary. I still might not be convinced they are NOT real.

Another Craigslist posting. I think that guy who answers the question is slapping him self in the face with a pretty obvious reason why Craigslist is still around. The graphic with all the competing websites...I stopped counting after 10+

Seems like Craigslist has something for everyone. I could visit all those websites or just go to Craigslist. And not have to get around prompts/asks to tweet or like or share or spam my friends.

Anyways 12345 is for a dead lawyer. I would be freaked the hell out. A Zombie Lawyer!!!

There is a cheap service that could help you with the authenticity. But I don't want to spam good ole HN with it =P.

Good enough has been Craigslist biggest strength. You sure can innovate your self out of a good product, It does not always mean improvement. Disruption..I don't think so, competition yes. I'm pretty sure the use of disruption is getting diluted...... For the website It's not getting worse, that's a decent accomplishment for a website that's been around for such a long time.

When Craigslist is dead and gone, then I think we can have a informed decision about Craigslist disrupted status.(Wait! Just checked.....still lots of postings)

Way to go on missing the point. I did ask 'Why' is it such a hot topic.

I was hoping to get a little more of a response about my question than my comment. I didn't want to discount the buzz color is creating.

My thoughts were, I'm not Color, It's not the last ever VC deal in the world(I hope)...and most important, It's not helping me debug this FPGA I'm working on =P.

I was thinking I might be able to get good idea from some of the comments...

For the Love of GOD who cares about how much money Color raised. It was nice to hear about, oh..the first 4 times here.

Deleting the huge rant I just typed up.

Anyone want to throw in ideas on why Color is such a hot topic? I might be a little blind to it due to my attitude reading it on here so many times.

Wow. Is anyone still surprised that social networks do this? Really? "Oh! so that's what they are really doing?, Aha!' I would think that's has been established as the status quo for a awhile now.

a 42$ million investment, I would be curious about any thoughts on how a company would make a profit from that investment. Other than selling information about it's users.

I think the gotcha would be "Oh the company is NOT selling customer information!" So that's how they are doing it. This article seems like they just uncovered some new revelation.

Should there be a standard that outlines using italics with asterisks to let the reader know that part of the comment was sarcastic. Well now that I think about it maybe Tumblbeasts could switch on Murder Mode if you feed them such things.

I though I was referring to made up comic, now I'm not so sure anymore. Oh god!, I hope they can't fit through RJ45's

I find it interesting that they need his hard drive or any equipment as proof that he did something illegal. At this point is it just Sony making stuff up about what he did before they have all the facts?

Protip: If your equipment is at risk being seized by the cops, feed it to tumblbeasts for proper disposal.

That's what I was trying to say, Most people are basing judgment of the situation from a echo chamber of media outlets. There might be much more going on hazard-wise than just the core overheating. The overheating is main stage right now from all the tension it has caused.

Down Voting "Really?" I will try to be more elegant when mentioning Apple removed the Gay Cure app? Maybe throw something in there about lean methodology and MVP next time.

I think it's a hoax. If it was the real IE team parts of the cake wouldn't be on the pan. I'm also pretty sure the E would be hanging off the right side.

Looks like Apple has cured the the 'Gay Cure' app.

Nessus?

This needs a Fark.com photoshop contest: Where else has this little truck been?

Everyone can code when buzzed/drunk. I guess the point is "can you code well?" Drunk folks can drive, except they tend to run into/kill people pretty often.

This makes me feel like someone who ran across a few lanes of a freeway survived, then proclaimed, All freeways are safe. I didn't get hit!.

Agreed,

There is always going to be risk involved with nuclear power. Your trying to contain something that will kill you if it has the chance.

During a nuclear emergency they should release laughing babies and kittens. Only one of the two might try to kill you. The only problem is you can't tell which one. Upside: Laughing Babies and Kittens!!!

I could only theorize you could use some sort of backup turbine built into the containment vessel. Then again if your not sure what kind of damage is done having something that is self powering might not be a good idea if it's out of control.

I talk to my computer all the time, never needed Chrome.

Apple has taken measures to ensure that the app store is a walled garden. It has set the bar pretty high compared to other less regulated 'app stores'. It could be considered a strength/weakness. It is what it is....

If it was an anti-apple app then, @#%& you: Denied! Can't have anything ruining apples image, everyone else DIAF.

freedom of expression, more like a bigoted attack. This entire story has so many directions it could go.....

I always thought that the reactors survived a tsunami and a earthquake at the same time was pretty good. Damaged but still intact, I do think it will take awhile for the whole picture to emerge on what took place. It seems most of the news about the nuclear hazards are an echo chamber so there might be some real danger. Most of the safety systems were wiped out and it's still standing? I had imaged the reactor turning into a roman candle launching fuel rods all over the place. The entire picture has yet to emerge and yet people are talking about it like the show is over.

But then again most people commenting about the situation are pretty far away from Japan. Myself: I'm sitting in California. I'm sure if the San Onfre Plant started venting a small amount of radiation I would get a little edgy including a shift in perspective

An out of control/damaged nuclear plant is still a out of control/damaged nuclear plant. Radiation leakage or no radiation leakage. I would be mad if any radiation came my way due to someone cutting corners or just not caring, no matter the dosage.

I always use a include for any hashes or passwords in a separate file. When I started learning PHP I exposed my MySQL database password more times then I could keep track of.

It does hammer home the point of staging before deploying. Also the point of making sure you vary your passwords between sites.

I wouldn't mind if there was a way for people to review my code. I might not need star ratings, but maybe a way for someone to make a case why doing something different or the same way would be a good idea. In terms of value I would see something more along the lines of something of more of a 'discussion'.

It's also interesting for people to be talking about testing on this thread. There might be some good points made but you might miss the point/concept that was posed in by the OP.

cloud computing, renting servers/VM's. I'm going to be the Hertz of Servers! Or maybe the AirBnb of computing power!.

Non-profit doesn't mean no profit. If your service can provide value to them, they should purchase the app. Treat people how you want to be treated. Somthing that this charity doesn't make clear to everyone that works for them I don't think a policy of trying to game the system is honorable or...charitable.

Damn I was 5 seconds away from doing a bEEf payload...

Figuring out the basic concepts they are familiar with might be a good start. If they have the capability to learn from other more experienced engineers.

Having the means to figure out what domain a challenge/problem is in would be another plus.

EDIT: Defining a Junior engineer might be a good place to start.

The Elitists are Elite. Only a few of them, if you even suggest anything that is not inline with there views about HN You get ALL of them crashing down on you. It might be a small number but it seems those people are the quickest.

It would be nice if you had to make a little comment about why you downvoted?
