How so ? Do you mean by default ? Are you sure you have Secure Browsing (https) enabled in the settings ?

If you are referring to Lamebook, Facebook issued the cease and desist. Lamebook was the first to sue. It is clear that Facebook is targeting how the term is used _in relation_ to their company. Lamebook knows that.

It puts a spin on jobs for interns replacing stacks of resume/cs with videos/apps.

Those are not interns at HyperIsland. Those are students. It is described in the press release.

http://internstore.com/press/press.php

There is no gap, HyperIsland well specifically the students of HyperIsland are touting that they are good enough such that agencies should come to them instead of the other way around and it is as easy as getting an app.

I was not able to see any hidden meaning of cheap / low value in there.

Thanks random42 and williamdix, I needed to know that, I guess for me it was how I viewed the title and the ending sentence.

Vivek went to American Society for Engineering Education Engineering Deans Institute. I am not really sure what kind of response he was expecting other than the one presented to him.

Ask HN, is it really an unbiased article when you take their responses, and not for example, students or recent graduates ?

I am not sure about being notable but it definitely does not read as informative in the sense for general knowledge (as said in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Node.js).

It reads as a README file to get me started with Node.js which looks very similar to the original

http://nodejs.org/

So a bit more effort may need to go into making this useful for public knowledge. (The Community section is not needed in my opinion) This is just my idea based on how the jQuery wiki page was organized.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jquery

Notice how it actually explains the examples in more than one line. Again this is all observation.

Is it only Electrical Engineers or all Engineers ?

    Must an engineer (CS or EE) be on the team? Does the engineer have to be a student?

EE stands for Electrical Engineer or does that encompass SE and CE as well ?

Sounds like an idea but I don't think it will happen. Normally one can get a discount on kegs so no need for that. Kegs are only bought during public events (rush week, house parties ..etc) when they are an abundance of people at the bar. The same happens at Freshman Events.

Also the older groups have good backings (alumni, club owners/promoters, student fundraisers)... definitely no need to cut corners like that for delayed cheques.

Student Clubs' Stores (http://www.havenbooks.ca/) are more likely to buy used text books.

I am not on dev (using Chrome 10.0.648.204).

Try User > Music > and select the iTunes Folder

I definitely love this method. I learned this in a workshop and was amazed at how people reacted as opposed to the tapping on the back. Works well for groups as well. Always approach from the side or the front.

Promoted trends are popular trends already (may not be the top 10 but they are popular trends). Twitter just places a promoted tweet from the advertiser when you click on a trend. You cannot be a promoted trend without reaching some popularity first.

> We believe it is not in the best interest of the consumers, merchants and overall payment industry to publish the details of product designs describing potential attacks however remote those might be. Even if these attacks are difficult to be accomplished it gives the bad guys a leg up on research they would not have to do and encourages bad behavior.

No it is not the best example. Yes it is not real. You are concentrating a bit too much on the first sentence which has a little (if not anything) to do with the second (which is my fault ... I needed something to associate with). The point being raised is that sometimes some are quick to comment when under anonymity (no inhibition) rather than use their reasoning to go through what they are going to say. Though the first comment might be true, intelligent etc.. be wary of who that affects (because the people who read are real and they have feelings). Anonymity for some, skips that wary stage and leaves it up to the reader to either feed the fire or salvage.

The related discussion from ramchip (though a great read) is only weakly related again to the first sentence. I could tell my girlfriend I love her very much or I can tell her every ounce of annoyance she gives to me, first comment versus what you actually want to impart to produce a constructive and stable relationship. I want to be thoughtful and sincere not quick to the punch (Nothing at all to do with with whether the medical condition is real or not because the morals and values are learned).

In case this derailed, I am talking about users who leave the first thing that came to mind and had no thought of the consequences since under anonymity.

Try using a page as Siegler did http://www.facebook.com/pages/MG-Siegler/106690852693356 . But see if you can tune the settings on your original profile to prevent people from viewing this page and then you can name your alter-ego to whatever you please.

Though this is different from users who intentionally impersonate others, never really understood that ... especially when no humour came from it.

In Season 5, Episode 17 of House, a guy loses his inhibition which causes him to speak his mind having no control over what he says. Now if you watched this episode (or read the recap), I hope you would understand the difference between stating a comment because you take notice of those around you versus saying the first thing that comes to mind.

You may want to:

- Focus on the input on load

- Detect location on load

- Get some auto-completion going (less than 3 clicks)

- Have the option for Celsius and Fahrenheit on the first page (You have a lot of space for it)

- Browser back functionality is not working after #links

- Keep the Sharing bar out the first time (no repeats)

- What does the 0228 #USFL0228 stand for in that link for Jacksonville NAS, FL ? (I am not familiar with US Zip Codes that well)

Joel just presented it at the Launch Conference a bit earlier, though that should not be used as a reason for the timeouts.

You should use twitter however you please. Yes you can take someone's advice with a pinch of salt, though I do not want to be dictated by "social media" tips. Unless they are outright participating in spam, I think they should go on their own path and experience the success or failure of a certain update. Also since the format is a stream, you can just ignore and let it flow.

This is to prevent "voting rings" using new accounts. It is a small measure of activity. All it would have taken from you was 15 rep,

1 Upvoted Answer (+10) and 1 Upvoted Question (+5) or 1 Question Upvoted (3 times) (+15) or 3 Upvoted Questions (+15)

(It is actually 14, since you start off with 1 rep)

That is really not a lot of activity/work needed from an individual.

Most likely a next user would have seen the answer on rails and voted by now.

All the while one does not / is not able to answer questions, he can learn from the answers that have already been submitted, no reputation gained but knowledge (I have heard people compiling e-books on the best posts from Stackoverflow). I call that a step forward.

I am glad you enjoyed it but I don't think you should stop. Try facebook.com/puzzlemaster instead. The questions are slightly similar. The community there is quite helpful and they have been doing it for 2 years. The Puzzle Master (whoever that maybe in Facebook) is quite responsive when it comes to telling the users of errors.

It is great that he has come to his conclusion on whether he should delete or not. Though... I see the movie for what it is ... just a movie intended to inspire or incite dislike , how much of it is in line with facts who knows ( e.g. where was Adam D’Angelo ?) . To use it as any part of the deletion decision making process does not seem right and seems that maybe the approach/reason for joining the social network was not the correct one. For me this means losing years worth of photos, messages, events that I went to ... I lived my life through facebook and I didn't have to write a single word in a journal. With the new messaging platform http://www.facebook.com/about/messages/ and personal email address contact with friends and acquaintances are now possible without wall posts.

In 2005-2006 (I just started at McGill) when it was still within campuses it was like wild fire and when I watched the movie , I completely related and recalled sitting down with room-mates and class-mates browsing dozens of girls in the school. There were no games just mainly wall posts and photos. You cannot relate that to now ... it is just not equivalent. Privacy was the same back then as it is now... people are just more aware of it or they grew older and understood the effects it wil have with their jobs, lives etc.

> What we actually want to do is the bare minimum, just like any nineteen-year-old college boy who’d rather be doing something else, or nothing.

Yes Zadie Smith is right ... this was never meant for the old folks (no offense), when it started those are the only people there were 18-22 year old college students looking for the bare minimum.

Times are changing though and these kids start to grow up, thus changes to try to satisfy all. But to me it seems harder and harder to define.

Russia has Vkontakte Japan has Mixi

So hopefully the author finds what he is looking for. I would start by just picking up the phone and calling someone. That is my Dad's way of keeping up with his social network. After he finishes work everyday, he has a 5-10 convo with his old friends and co-workers. Sometimes he even visits... (It is a no-brainer but somehow these days people find this hard to do)

> 500 million sentient people entrapped in the recent careless thoughts of a Harvard sophomore

Is a 26 year old billionaire in charge of a 500 M network something someone would want to fail ? Are the 2000 or so employees that work there doing it for the vision of Zuckerburg? Is jealousy that strong ? I dont want it to fail. I want to be some percentage of whatever he is when I reach 26 not by personality but achievement. Why should I wait for maturity to achieve things, I want to fall, get back up, fall and fall some more if it means I reach closer to what he did (no matter how simple the idea was). It is as if he is not allowed to mature or people are still looking at him as a sophomore that sent those sms messages. He does get assistance from his COO Sheryl Sandberg http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/03/business/03face.html so maybe back in creation the site was a reflection of the immature sophomore but now it is something different.

Why does it have to mention Steve as a key part to the process in such a way that his leave of absence determines the success or failure of Apple ? The last few quarters have been pretty good for them right ?

Jobs was absent for a good bit in 2009 (the same year 3GS was released). I think that if Jobs is the visionary and leader everyone talks about then a few months without him cannot dent the Apple market and development. The company will still run, it is still running. It did it in 2009 and it can do it again in my opinion.

I think it is still actually on invite/rollout. Someone either invited you or Your place in queue when you signed up here http://www.facebook.com/about/messages/ came up.

This is very unwelcoming and an attack to the individual. Not taking any sides really but the way how you worded the post.

"20 in 20" sounds like you wanted a winning headline (which I guess is the case)

Please stop scolding the user for trying something out of the norm. It just means one will have to take a bit more effort to go back the first page of http://news.ycombinator.com/newest (click the more link... some more).

You can also tell the user that comments hold more value for a person than posting links.

It is like twitter for some people at first you try to mimic the big guys as fast and as abundant as possible but after a while you "get" the system.

Give the user some time o0. These guidelines are taken as advice no? After all this is just an experiment. Stop smothering the small guys, we are people too :)

Would the P2 Theme interest you ? http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/p2

Has anyone figured out how to set the encoding and content-type for an attachment? Or has it not implemented as yet?

I really do love it though. I wish I saw this a few days ago, just did my first mutt setup (took me a few hours, I am very slow). The contact autocompletion is nice. Is there a reason for one not being able to just to generate the whole contact list ?

For those who do not know Banksy (http://www.banksy.co.uk/) is a brilliant street artist not a tagger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hjIuMx-N7c

I do believe it is important to correct it.

It depends on how you look at the words hacker and tech savvy. Tech savvy these days is anyone with enough common sense to know their way around the computer to accomplish tasks, it is just a matter of digging and googling now. So everyone in this forum is "tech-savvy". So then it is not a moot point because some assume the title of hacker when they have not even took one step inside of bash (I have lurked in the background while I read people speak about hacker being a flexible term that can be applied anywhere but then it becomes one of those metaphors - He was able to put together that item as savvy as a hacker with his tools not a different set of meanings). Hacker is now used for every and anything so the value in the word is lost. 1337 has become a big joke and more of a game play slang. HackerNews (change ay yc spotlight, entrepreneurship,politics,web design freelancing,life advice, jobs, apple, microsoft , app development etc etc.) ,Household Hacker , Hacker (the Movie) all watered down and sometimes misused version of the original meaning.

If hackerly means using tools without needing to know the inner workings then I guess that is one man's way to put it, because you will want to remove the boring repetitive sections of your method and make it automated (not having to resolve the problem every time). An other way would be to open things and observe until it is understood how it works.

You can also think of the a graphic designer being offended every time someone says they know web/graphic design because they got a pirated version of Photoshop and Dreamweaver online.

Or when people "hack" in games, they are using software that exploited the system. He (the original coder) has accomplished his task maybe even learned something new (about the registry , about game mechanics) along the way... The teenager on the other hand who acquired the software ends up just trying to feel like he is better than everyone else when in fact he has unfair advantage. No real "superiority" there.

Useless battle or not, it is a title the author prefers to keep as clean as possible (even if that puts him in a elite set)
