Peppa Pig is at least funny. The one that pushed me over the edge wrt to behavior modeling was Caillou. My god people have some self respect as parents. You have to have to create some boundaries for children, not just…

What do you mean "you geeks", is this fucking high school?
We did not publicize it in any way because we are a legit film streaming company with hundreds of distributors worldwide, and no good can come from any awareness of a site that looks like ours streaming pirated content.…
But what would be the advantage over just running Drupal on PHP?
Yes, but if you fuck it up heads are gonna roll.
I switched to Notational Velocity years ago after trying to type things into Evernote, yet I am a premium user. Why? Because Evernote's killer feature is pasting in any kind of content and syncing that across devices.…
It's not about people who don't know what computers are. It's about creating simple solutions to common problems. Most people do not want to fiddle with their computers regardless of how well they understand them, they…
Could you elaborate on: > Sandboxing non-App store apps I thought sandboxing was only required for App store apps?
Sure dependency hell, it's a problem anywhere. It's the worst in Rails though. Absolutely 100 times worse than PHP.
> If something with Drupal's advantages were available within Rails (as an engine or what have you) it would be a clear game-over for other stacks vs. Rails. I have to disagree here. There are clear use cases for…
Aside from PHP being around twice as long and around for years during the nascent phase of open source web apps, the number one reason it has more and more popular turnkey apps is the same reason it "killed" perl: easy…
I know as well as anyone the relative futility of relying on HN, Reddit, or TC coverage for building a successful tech product. Feedback and traffic from social news is merely a blip that says next to nothing one way or…
There was an article posted here a while ago that made the case that Lisp is so powerful that it makes it feasible to do much more yourself rather than relying on libraries, and thus it attracts a higher level of hacker…
I don't think he consciously thinks that, but his entire argument seems to stem from Facebook being such a necessity that they are morally obligated to follow social norms or be somehow coerced into doing so, despite…
I don't think it's ironic because Anil clearly values Facebook and wants them to "do the right thing". This is made clear in the opening paragraph: > Now, Facebook follows the steps that most tyrants do, quietly…
Very true, however I think the talent and ability of a technical team is just the tip of the iceberg here. The real coup that the Obama campaign pulled off was bringing a top-flight tech team in-house and somehow…
What's the value of humility in the professional world? Honesty, integrity, credit where credit is due, etc, but an overdeveloped sense of humility is the best way to go unrecognized, at least in America.
I think you've spent more time reading social news linkbait than actually using ruby or examining its community at the ground level. > The whole tone of this article is a good example, actually Hold on there, don't…
But haven't you been consistent on the co-founder line since before YC was founded, and hence before you had significant data? Wouldn't that bias your YC data as well, which as far as I know only has a tiny minority of…
How is it not free distribution?

I didn't have sympathy for Facebook when their traditional ads turned out to be worthless and the price fell through the floor. Likewise I don't have sympathy for businesses who feel entitled to free distribution on…
A sponsored post can stick around for a while. But in any case, if a user doesn't come they don't charge. It's exceedingly unlikely that 100% of your followers will see a post, but you don't pay for that.
