hellbreakslose··on Google+ broke our trust
Oh look its another goth chick blogging about Google and whats bad and whatever... Go back in your cave... noone told you to get involved with Google+ neither Google will go with you cause you based your life around Google+ ...

Why people nowadays take everything so granted... Guess what before 90 years people were going to the toilet...hmmm on their GARDENS!

hellbreakslose··on HippyVM
haha jokes... well I see why fb wanted to create their own framework since the whole site is in php and it would take em a lot of time to translate it something else (i think most nowadays is JS anyways) but srsly, why people are trying to make faster frameworks for php ... no idea. It doesn't get any faster due its design. At least join one of the open source projects and help that.

Combine all those working on those open source frameworks for years and all together create something fast...

hellbreakslose··on A sealed bottle garden thriving after 40 years without fresh air or water
well I agree but I just can't believe anything like that nowadays... If you want people to believe that the bottle is sealed since 1972 then prove it as well. Not just a photo of a giant bottle with some plants in it.
hellbreakslose··on A sealed bottle garden thriving after 40 years without fresh air or water
Hmm can we open the bottle and test if the water is indeed from 1972?

I mean how can we actually test that this guy isn't just making things up, and wasn't opening the bottle to water the ecosystem?

hellbreakslose··on How my school rejected an app made for students
Amazing article from a young kid, bright, smart keep it up!

Let them take it to the appstore and see if they can really get it down due to copyrights. I don't think they can sue you about anything, you'r just using public data...

Also something else, take it up with your parents or whoever has you at that school, and consider changing schools. Make it a scandal for them. School trying to sue defendless student after having a bright idea for an app using public data...

hellbreakslose··on Flappy Bird in Swift
apple fanboys keep downvoting!
hellbreakslose··on (Why) I quit Hacker News (2010)
Well tbh he has a fair point, and I tend to be true on what I write. I get a lot of down-votes cause I guess I am speaking my mind and I ain't try to write some scientific report for someone to read...

In the other hand am tired of NSA posts and posts against Google... it has become a cliche. Yes I want to learn if NSA is spying on me etc etc but not every time there is a post about it I'd like it to be 1st thing I see.

I guess my opinion is different than others... I hope my comment gets a lot of Down-Votes cause I tend to keep my karma on - for Hackernews, cause I have a + karma in real life and I need some balance.

hellbreakslose··on Flappy Bird in Swift
Swift looks fine, the only thing I don't like its that is for Apple only products... that kinda defeats the purpose of having a programming language.
hellbreakslose··on Never Pay Hotels for Internet Again
I think she wants you brother, go for it!
hellbreakslose··on Runnable – jsfiddle for everything
Hmm am guessing this site is getting a lot of traffic at the moment.
hellbreakslose··on The boy who stole Half Life 2 source code (2011)
You can't really blame a kid at that age... Kids at that age have no sense of fear or can't recognize what is punishable or not. Everything is a game, especially years back as that internet was not so evolved and the laws around it weren't so strict.

Its Valve's fault for letting a 16 y/o install malwares on their computers... When you are developing something you got to be serious about its security as well if you want it to remain a secret. It feels to me like their employees and IT department had no actual sense of what security was (Employees going off installing whatever on their computer, and IT team not being able to track down malware and outgoing packets to unknown sources...)

hellbreakslose··on This Guy Trademarked the Symbol for Pi and Took Away Our Geeky T-Shirts
Hmmm I guess its about time that Greece starts claiming those copyrights! Who knows we might exit crysis at the end of the day! Lets start by copyrighting Democracy!...
hellbreakslose··on Google bows to EU privacy ruling
Google bows... Misleading title by Financial Times that doesn't bow under laws eh? Funny how the media can manipulate the wording and judge someone.

It's called LAW! You don't BOW to it, you OBEY.

What would FT do in Google case? form an army and go fight against the EU?... Sick of reading articles like that.

Its sad that the EU is voting those laws, but its not Google fault of trying to be a legal company...

hellbreakslose··on After Google bought Nest, it removed company’s biggest competitors from results
Hmm sorry to say so but Vivint does have several court orders for missleading information.

I also don't see how vivint makes the same products as nest or even making em a competitor... Nest is something that is coming from the future and I can assure you that vivint is not even close in that.

Also I don't get how Google is supposed to contact every website that puts on a banlist for innapropriate or missleading content...

hellbreakslose··on What the Head of Hiring at Google Doesn’t Understand About Skills
I don't get why you have to argue with a company on the way it does its recruiting. They feel that's the best for them and they have the right to.

Yes I believe that a person that studies English could become an Engineer. But being an Engineer requires experience and time. It's not like you'll pick it up in a day. On the other hand a person that studies CS or Engineering has learnt the basics and its easier for him to become one.

The way google is recruiting feels the right way for them (and for me) since they don't want to take in someone that has no idea and start teaching him on that.

Also if someone wants to work for a Tech Company like google I don't see why he will go study English... if English is what he likes best then why would he pursue working under a tech company.

I think you are trying to apply the logic that all the banks have that they'll hire whoever if he passes their tests. But they will train him into investments and guide them through. And also that person like everyone working on finance will have to undergo exams every-year to prove himself. (That's pretty much like studying finance if even more advanced).

Well Google doesn't want to go with the paragraph above.

hellbreakslose··on Microsoft demos breakthrough in real-time translated conversations
The way this is going, would take an eternity to communicate!
hellbreakslose··on Vegetarian Diets and Mental Health
Vegetarian is a way of life. Whether its healthy or not I can't judge and I'll leave that to the scientists that are doing research on that specific matter.

Although speaking from my own experience... I ain't a vegan I eat meat, and a lot of it cause I gym. I keep a healthy and balanced diet for a long time now. I am healthy and that's what doctors have been telling me on my annual check up. In the other hand I got a cousin that we are close with and he is a vegan. Although he is a vegan he drinks alcohol, not excessively but occasionally. He is unhealthy and unstable at the moment...

Life is not only about food but there are a lot of factors in there that needs to be considered.

Also regarding mental health... WALKING I found is the best solution.

hellbreakslose··on Link shorteners hurt the user experience and destroy the Web
It is true at least for me. I never click on a shortened URL, whatever it might be...

I tend not to trust it.

hellbreakslose··on Do We Really Know What Makes Us Healthy? (2007)
Our way of life determines it.

I grew up in an Island in Greece, far away from polution and no way near fast food. I was eating things coming straight from the nature. Even when I needed meat it would be slaughtered the same day...

I moved to a big city. I can see how my fitness has changed a bit with the heavier breathing and the different hours plus the way that the eye cannot see beyond a certain block. Although I haven't adopted fast food life I can say that the things I prementioned have changed my fitness and peace of mind as well.

I wouldn't like my kids to grow up here.

hellbreakslose··on Fare Dodging Is an Organized Rebellion in Stockholm, and It’s Winning
That also started in Greece after they announced the austerity measures. (2008) It's still an ongoing thing, and there is an organisation called (WeDon'tPay) that does that stuff, they'll gather and they will not let people pay any fare. This happens also in Tolls, that have been abused by contractors and the goverment and 60 years after the complitation of the road they still have tolls.
hellbreakslose··on Don't learn to code. Learn to think
Great post, thumbs up!
hellbreakslose··on Poll: Where do you host your production environments?
yes but there are some weird regulations with the FSA in the UK that doesn't allow you to use amazon... Our lawyers chose our providers, we can't rly do anything about that.
hellbreakslose··on Poll: Where do you host your production environments?
AWS is good but cause we are using sensitive data that can't be hosted anywhere else than a server owned by us , we have to rent a server and make sure we are the only ones that have access to it!
hellbreakslose··on Why Online Communities Decay Over Time
Nice post, Well thats the cycle of life. Everything has an expiry date!
hellbreakslose··on Dad takes photo of his daughter every day for 18 years
I'll agree with you, this is a bit obsessive an extreme.
hellbreakslose··on Ask HN: living and working in US
You didn't mention the visa thing at all.

You said you are EU citizens. It's ok for you moving around EU but moving to the US is going to create immigration problems for you.

One of you will need to get sponsored for a long-term working visa not the temporary one. Then still I think according to US laws your Wife won't be able to work until you get a Green Card. I heard that they are trying to change that law but still.

Sorry to break it down to you like that, you can still try and make it, but its not an easy thing to move to the States especially having a family with you.

I'd suggest you apply to 20 companies+ and try schedule them all within a week. So you and your family can go there for a week do your interviews and see if you can get someone to sponsor you.

It's not like you said I am just going to move there... If you say that to the officers in the airport asking you the reason for your visit they are definitely not going to let you in.

hellbreakslose··on [dead]
Straight to the point my friend. I completely agree with you!

Also there was no demonstration of they input their data in an automated system that guides the drone through a GPS... It could just be them guiding it with a remote control just to create the Ad.

hellbreakslose··on Animals in the wild found to use running wheel if given the choice
Well I can see why, as the research states at the end animals enjoyed it.

If we see it in a scale, it's like for us humans going on a roller coaster!

hellbreakslose··on Google Project Lets You Program a Simulated Quantum Computer
Thats actually really cool, its about time for our generation to get more familiar with the future!
hellbreakslose··on eBay user data for sale?
sp332 to be honest here, I am pretty sure if you search your real life name on the internet you will definitely find somewhere that you can buy the information you just mentioned. I am not trying to be mean here, I am just trying to let you know in case you didn't know.

Plus you already have your email publicly displayed here ... and i found some weird stuff about amateur ... xxx movies when i googled you T_T
