add some moderators, or get better ones.

Theres a bunch of junk on cl. Blatant ads, ads that tell people to go to other websites (ebay), and i especially hate the use of "keywords" that have nothing to do with the item

I found a quora topic related to your question.

I guess the answer is yes, but only if facebook cares, which I guess they don't.

I saw it available early last week, Sunday or Monday.

While jamming is criminal behavior, the fcc won't be able to find you, in fact, the FCC have yet to even prosecute a single person for cell phone jamming since it's very hard to find and it's very easy hide jammers because people just think they're in a dead zone or their phone is malfunctioning

Theoretically, it is possible to triangulate the jamming signal by pinging cell phones and finding which ones aren't in the dark, mapping it to find the guy but it could take hours and the damage would have already been done.

oh, and sales of jammers have been going on for years on craigslist, I'm surprised they've just shut it down this year.

fyi: It's still in closed-beta, you'll have to request an invite for an activation code before you can do anything after you install it.

My biggest concern is seeing an "email" where my text messages. I get text messages all the time, and they're usually pretty high on my list of important messages because I know that 100% of my text messages are definitely not spam and that i should at least read them. Using email to send me a text only makes me think i got spam and i'll just delete the message, i probably won't even read it.

But really, why email their number when you can just message them for their email (or using gvoice or something similar)?

okay it's true AT&T does suck sometimes, but you'll hear stories of how every single company sucks somewhere because it all depends on your location. Verizon internet isn't all that fun to deal with either. Before I moved I was using Charter, and they're awesome, $70 for 30mbps, but at my parents' Time Warner Cable was selling 15 mbps for $80, and then at my friends' house Verizons' max speed was 8mbps and that sold for $80. I also use Uverse (AT&T) 6mbps for the business package and I've never had it die on me.

So my point is that for internet and wireless phone service it's really a hit or miss depending on where you are. Except that AT&T's wireless service really does suck when compared to the other big gsm service, Tmobile, which is almost on par with Verizon in most populated areas. My friends and I would speedtest whenever we go different areas, he uses verizon, and I use tmobile. Sometimes I win, sometimes he wins. Then there was always this poor guy with AT&T wireless with his S3 and he would always cry about how much it sucked.

well i can only hope google will make it cheaper than it already is after the announcement of the 32gb version sometime in the next couple weeks?

well shit, you got fired, so now of course you should apply to other places, but that's pretty much a no brainer. I think what you really looking for is some advice on how to cope.

When you're unemployed, you find yourself with a lot of freetime, and hence, a lot of time to waste. If you have the financial means and are physically capable start traveling. between now and october is one of the peak seasons for cheap airline tickets to just about anywhere, if you don't know where to go, hover over to http://www.reddit.com/r/earthporn (SFW btw, not that you have one now, haha, j/ks) and start browsing. Get some friends (or just go by yourself) and just go. My favorite is Zion National Park. I find that under the starlit sky, without lights or cell reception I find it relaxing and then you'll be able to think about why you got laid off, what you liked or didn't like about your previous job and what you could have possibly done in the past to prevent yourself from getting fired.

The most important thing is to just keep moving, rewrite your resume, watch some comedies, reconnect with your family and friends and possibly, make new ones, make a schedule and pack it with so many things to do that you're tired each and every night starting from today. I could go on, but I hope you get it. The second most important thing to do is to not get angry and take it out on your friends and family, what happened to you is truly unfortunate, but getting mad doesn't really help anyone.

So peace out, and I hope to see you in the future at another job kicking ass at what you do best.

btw, unemployment benefits are okay, but b/c the economy is bad, plan for the long-term, like cancelling your monthly bills, aka netflix (you don't got time for that shit anyways), etc.

"My hourly rate as CEO of this Corporation is HK$1900 or US$247.00 per hour.

Think that with a discount, US$18,000 should be sufficient to cover all my time related costs, fixing ALL code instances, for ALL the aforestated reasons..."

Then he adds:

"Thanks a bunch for being SO HELPFUL !!!"

Also, $18,000/$247.00/hour comes out to about 72 hours.

His first post was on 2012-06-17 21:06:44 PDT and his last post was on 2012-06-19 23:11:22 PDT, so it's only been ~50 hrs since he posted it until he asked for the money.

I have a single password that I use to sign into a bunch of sites that don't require any real information about me associated to my throwaway/spam email acct, that I wouldn't care if it got hacked.

I also have my important passwords for which I use a combination of letters, numbers and special characters which consists of my base password. I then add another string to the end such as a word or zip code, which I rotate every 2-3 weeks depending on where I login and whether or not I feel that connection is secure.

Haven't gotten hacked, yet... we'll see.

yeah its probably a troll

damn, and here i thought i was "safe".

but apparently someone said its a repeat, and a fake, and yet offers no explanation why. Do you know why?

well sorry for it not being as interesting as i thought...

interesting.

you can't equate hiring a vp with a VC, they're apples and oranges and I'll tell you why.

With a VC, its simpler, if the start-up has a good idea with a good plan to execute, then the risk is only money. If the start-up does well, both of them make money. But if the startup screws up, then you lose your investment, and move and invest in other companies. It's different with hiring a VP. If you're a VP and you do well, you help the company grow. But, if you screw up, you've just ruined your company and its employees' which could potentially affect tens or hundreds of your subordinates' futures AND especially their families, and with some screw ups, you can't even use money to fix it.

If you can't distinguish between those two things, then you're going to be a crappy vp if you ever make it.

interesting to see this on news.yc but i got an error message.

Thank you sir! Hopefully someone hears about this, though I doubt it'll get resolved in the next decade, or maybe two if ever.

if you block out hn, where would i get my news about sopa?!

I dont get what you mean...

if you're in incognito mode it doesn't display it, but does in normal. I guess they got half of it right.

having people buy new phones/contracts actually makes the carrier some money, whereas giving free upgrades doesn't. Note: I use t-mobile, which uses sim cards, which is just easier to deal with when changing phones.

Last year, I tried upgrading my phone, but they said it would cost me $200-$300 to get a decent android upgrade, so I went on craiglist and bought a G2 and a Mytouch 3g slide as my backup/music/video player for a total of $225, they had scuffs on the side, but overall were in fine conditions. I also had a G1 that i used to learn about rooting, so after i got the G2 i rooted that in 20 minutes by downloading the 1-step root app, downloading cyanogenmod 7, and flashing it to cm7.

If you want help buying a phone via craiglist, pm me.

i love how pg responds to you 3 minutes after you submit this. propz.

spam...

with the mac you should check out the hacker at defcon who had his mac stolen and see the techniques he used to retrieve it.

when prey first started they also posted a link to their service on hn as well and if you donated anything to them they gave you a lifetime premium subscription.

prey is pretty damn helpful, and i install it on everything i've got.

btw i dont work for them, and i've never seen them advertise anywhere, but this would be good advertisement...

sweeet. too bad it's taken

obviously a scam when you say its not.

the question was: why people post obscure job postings. My answer was 'to preserve their secrets', supposedly to obtain a large market share before the competition arrives, and to possibly patent any ideas before anyone can even come in, thus ensuring your firm to have an advantage in the long run. Secrecy wouldn't be their only tool, it's just one of the tools start-ups can use to keep their

Furthermore, yes my business idea is easily replicable, but my knowledge and expertise in my field makes me better than others. Say, if i was in the "ice cream" business, well, anyone can make "ice cream", but i use the best damn "ingredients" while selling my "ice cream" at a higher, yet reasonable price for the increase in quality. Now, that would be a reason why others would want to acquire me, even more so if I had a patent on my "ice cream" making ideas.

would you post a link to such job postings?

one reason some may not want to post would be bc they are startups and they dont want others to copy their business. i am in such a business and it would hurt me greatly if others started doing what i do and lose my "monopoly". In addition, it would increase the chances of a decrease in valuation should someone wish to acquire the company.
