Saw a post about Hackers being 27 years old on the front page. While that movie is fun and flawed, I think Sneakers was better in every way...

this is actually why I submitted it! (I put the Todd Rundgren fact in the headline but HN mods apparently thought that wasn't relevant). He's mentioned it briefly in a couple interviews (like that Guardian article you linked, and on a podcast with Bob Lefsetz), but I have yet to see an in-depth article about Todd's career/hobby as a software developer. I'd love to read an article only about that one day.

Great to see this on the front page. I've been lucky enough to visit Dynamicland/volunteer there and it absolutely lives up to the hype.

I'm referring of course to Cloudfare/8chan/Bitmitigater

couldn't have said it better

Thanks for that point by point refutation, but why do I feel like a Russian troll just wasted both of our times...

yes this is not about tech, but it's a good hack to troll the MLB arbitration process.

Might I also add, nice.

Dynamicland is amazing, it needs to be seen in person. I encourage everyone to visit and donate

he could be CTO of Breitbart

I love how political posts (particularly about this corrupt, incompetent administration) get flagged on HN because they're not "on topic"

Well here you go, turns out politics affects real life, and even the tech industry.

I wish Twitter employees used Twitter

it just came back...

typo in the URL, but the correct URL also 404s https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump

this is so misguided.

This sums up my feelings exactly https://twitter.com/jpodhoretz/status/918864859537829889

Be circumspect. Cover your tracks. Don't show you're biased. Be biased in private!

worth noting that the 160 char limit on SMS was a product of thoughtful design, and user-centric deliberation, not arbitrary: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/05/invented-...

I wish Twitter had the same commitment. Or at least hired product people who used the service.

good solution to industry woes: stop making shitty movies

agree on all counts.

the flagging of this story reinforces what these entrepreneurs were up against.

Buried lede: Dave McClure implicated and is out of daily operations at 500 Startups

No, I think Travis has enough bad PR now. He doesn't need to punch down and sue a driver he's already bankrupted

I worked in Twilio's marketing department from 2011-14. A key part of our marketing 101 classes for new recruits was that marketing was not a bad word. In fact, to not market a product is an insult to it. The highest honor you can pay to all the hard work that went in to the product, is to market the hell out of it and make sure it gets used.

This link has been posted to HN before so it is registering as a dupe. But the same URL now works for 2016:

https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/register/

true, edited it to reflect that. Still think it's a worthy read.

I agree and I just vouched for this article. Important to note that this was not an off the cuff comment. This policy was communicated in a written statement from the man currently in position to win the GOP nomination.

this was built by an ad agency http://motherboard.vice.com/read/rumblr-the-tinder-for-bar-f...

"Finally, I have discovered a horrible, rather brutal method that I recommend only to men of excessive vigor, men with thick black hair and skin covered with liver spots, men with big square hands and legs shaped like bowling pins."

some good reporting here with some new details
