Some people have no shame.
dyscrete··on Wozniak: “Actually, the movie was largely a lie about me”
Can we all demand a Woz movie?

This will cost them in the long run.

Thanks! Very helpful
dyscrete··on Ask HN: Anyone else have symptoms similar to Aspergers?
Ah okay, I'm already taking prescription cannabis.
dyscrete··on Ask HN: Anyone else have symptoms similar to Aspergers?
I can have bad eating habits sometimes, but I'm under average weight and unable to gain weight. Should I still consider 5-htp since it's an appetite suppressant?
dyscrete··on Should RapGenius be able to "negotiate" with Matt Cutts and Google?
You changed my opinion on this. Google needs to fix the page rank algorithm.
dyscrete··on Ask HN: What programming language will you learn in 2014?
Off topic since this is not a programming language, but AngularJS will change the way you think.
dyscrete··on Lark – A REST interface for Redis
This is just adding an extra layer between your data and redis, which defeats redis' purpose of being fast for particular use cases.
dyscrete··on Crime Lab Scandal Leaves Massachusetts Legal System In Turmoil
Could she have been manipulated by prosecutors? Yes she should be held accountable for her actions, but I have a hunch that prosecutors had something more to do with this.
dyscrete··on Semantic UI – A language for sharing UI
Any good sites I can select a CSS class?
dyscrete··on Show HN: Contacts finds email addresses
Can you explain your reasoning behind this?

why would you upload to imgur when you have droplr running?
dyscrete··on Uiji.js is jQuery in reverse
You took the words right out of my mouth.
dyscrete··on Opal - Ruby to Javascript compiler
It's a great idea, but it seems ridiculous how even simple arithmetic gets translated to an unreadable mess of javascript.

puts 4 + 2 + 5 + (19 + 3 * 4) - 8 / 10

translates to:

(function() { var __opal = Opal, self = __opal.top, __scope = __opal, nil = __opal.nil, __breaker = __opal.breaker, __slice = __opal.slice; var __a, __b, __c, __d, __e, __f, __g, __h; return self.$puts((__a = (__c = (__e = (__g = 4, __h = 2, typeof(__g) === 'number' ? __g + __h : __g['$+'](__h)), __f = 5, typeof(__e) === 'number' ? __e + __f : __e['$+'](__f)), __d = (__e = 19, __f = (__g = 3, __h = 4, typeof(__g) === 'number' ? __g * __h : __g['$*'](__h)), typeof(__e) === 'number' ? __e + __f : __e['$+'](__f)), typeof(__c) === 'number' ? __c + __d : __c['$+'](__d)), __b = (__c = 8, __d = 10, typeof(__c) === 'number' ? __c / __d : __c['$/'](__d)), typeof(__a) === 'number' ? __a - __b : __a['$-'](__b))) })();

dyscrete··on Scalable CSS-based Playing Cards
This is what HN is becoming, CSS playing cards on the front page. (sigh)
dyscrete··on CSS Pictures
Pretty cool, but definitely useless.
dyscrete··on Some web development tips from a former Digg developer
It's surprising a former digg developer describes pagination as hard. Really?
dyscrete··on Ask HN: Can Amazon go after my credit?
Of course. I have no intentions of keeping a broken Playstation. It's just baffling if Amazon actually does something about this. Are other people exploiting this or does Amazon do something to people who do not have a credit card on account?

I completely agree with your statement bawllz. This was just a question that got me thinking.

dyscrete··on My Sister Paid Progressive Insurance to Defend Her Killer In Court
This is sick. Progressive can take one in the ass.
dyscrete··on Using IcedCoffeescript to prevent callback headaches
The last example was pretty weak. I fixed the example to show multiple asynchronous function calls running in parallel.
dyscrete··on Google to Demote Sites With 'High Number' of Copyright Complaints
This is ridiculous considering millions of sites are powered by user content. YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and even GOOGLE themselves have a very high number of copyright complaints and of course Google will make exceptions for them. Is it just me or is Google taking over the world?
dyscrete··on Plagiarism
Zee has apologized.

dyscrete··on Poll: Do you think HN should go dark in protest of SOPA?
It's for a good cause so if anyone isn't willing to sacrifice something so small to help prevent something that will force you to sacrifice something much bigger – then you sir, have lost your mind.
dyscrete··on Ask HN: What do you think of HN Christmas 2011 theme?
Yeah, drop it please.
