abus··on You might not need jQuery
Please can we embed jQuery in browsers instead of the standard being to use Google's hosted copy.
abus··on How I Lost My $50,000 Twitter Username
Why does anyone believe the hacker's story of how he did it? It's possible he told the truth but it's likely he did not.
abus··on Debunking Princeton
I see this as Facebook's willingness to use its unfair influence to discredit anyone who dares challenge it. In other words, "if you have a page here, we won't hesitate to use it against you".
abus··on How a Math Genius Hacked OkCupid to Find True Love
How about meeting people from the site at random and then finding patterns in the answered questions of the ones you liked?
abus··on Show HN: Ridiculously cheap bulk geocoding
That would only be an issue if they wrote 0.001c. $0.001 is very clear.
abus··on Dogecoin now accounts for more transactions than any other cryptocurrency
* Buy

* Price goes up

* Sell

* Profit

abus··on Dogecoin now accounts for more transactions than any other cryptocurrency
As with any product or service, marketing is very important. You could start your own coin but you'd have to promote it well.
abus··on Mining Bitcoins on a college campus
This is idiotic but his article about college gave me a better understanding of his motivation.
abus··on Beat This Level, Get A Programming Job
> there aren't enough programmers to meet the demand.

There aren't enough good programmers to meet the demand for low paid programmers.

abus··on Crowdsourcing a More Secure Future
This is actually really generous considering it didn't meet the terms of the contest.

They have a long way to go before anyone here trusts them but perhaps we could be more positive and constructive?

abus··on How Dogecoin changed my perspective on cryptocurrency
Does "Dogecoin was began" make sense?
abus··on Regex Golf
Look at the parent.

abus··on H5N1
Not everyone would choose to take the drug in the first place.
abus··on Show HN: I am sick and tired of all this crypto coin crap.
Awful code written in anger. I would be ashamed to claim copyright on it too.
abus··on How to Buy Bitcoin
It's 6-12 months.
abus··on Started a stupid company. Failed.
This HN submission is useless and demoralising, bordering on cyber begging. At the bare minimum he should have provided details about what went wrong.

The only moral to be learned is the obvious one: don't risk everything when you have dependants who will suffer.

abus··on Code robots in Python. Fight other players. Climb to the top
Please use <title> so I can tell the tabs apart.
abus··on Winning at Candy Crush
Hopefully this gets some attention so people start to work on all the issues it has.
abus··on Winning at Candy Crush
Kids today grow up with iPhones and iPads instead so there's not much opportunity to do anything outside the box.
abus··on Dear Facebook: You Suck
Google+: complained about and no one uses.
abus··on Dear Facebook: You Suck
Damn I accidentally upvoted you before I got to the end. Facebook is not optional, you are forced to use it or be left out of a huge amount of social interaction, and it's not because Facebook is good, it's because everyone uses it.

Not to mention my college literally requires you to use it.

abus··on “Remove occurrences of the short name of the Debian derivative from Canonical”
It keeps the source cleaner though and it wouldn't have to.

DerivativeOS4 - Debian-based operating system released in 2004 by UK Company No. 06870835.

abus··on “Remove occurrences of the short name of the Debian derivative from Canonical”
Isn't 'Canonical' a trademark? Couldn't you just refer to it as DerivativeOS4 and then have a central reference table?
abus··on Features Firefox should implement to weaken Facebook's stranglehold of the web
It could be a default addon (as I think a lot of new features should be), then users that are concerned about bloat can remove it.
abus··on Features Firefox should implement to weaken Facebook's stranglehold of the web
Too late, Chrome OS and Android.
