Please, as an advice to general HN posters, please avoid posting marco.org links here on HN, because his sole intention is to sell his readers out more than focusing on writing. That's a fairly grande accusation, but it's justified. Do you

There is a very thin line between being a feminist and being an asshole. The problem with these women, who claim to be angered by women being treated as objects is that they don't identify the real problem. Women are attracted to men and me

Yep, not many people respond to insults. But you actually gave an explanation as to why you didn't, to make yourself sound cooler. Bravo 'chuthiya' (you were the one who taught me this) Andddd, next time, before you waste time insulting peo

1) He never called you an asshole. He just posted his views about DDG. 2) If you are offended by what he said, it doesn't give you the right to call him an asshole. For example, I know many people whose projects you didn't complete on time

>I fail to see how it is brilliant. This is why the guy who designed this Google+ plan (Vic Gundotra) is where he is (at Google) and you are still a commentator in a public forum. You need some long-term vision, bro.

This must be crazy - CEO, COO, Director of Product for a fucking Wordpress blog? are you kidding me?? Techcrunch at the end of the day is a Wordpress blog. It could be justified atleast if they were covering international news, but they are

If you are from Chennai, you'll know what the situation is like in there. At any point, in any such conference, people are constantly trying to brand themselves under the guise of 'contribution to the community'. They are always looking to

Your answer is vague, but I will try to be objective as much as possible. >Well, I don't see any problem in plugging one's event in a blog post. The problem here isn't plugging his own event in his post. The problem here is that he cite

This explains you haven't read the article in its entirety. Please read it again, he references it as the first link while citing examples about the superiority within the Indian Start-up eco-system. That is a contradiction in a way that yo

Vijayanand is moderately infamous for sheepishly promoting his in50hrs event (it is a PAID event organized by him) under the guise of such shallow articles and also on twitter (EDIT: I've been his follower for ages, he sometimes misleads pe

It is important to note that the author is from Canada and spent a significant portion of his life there, before trying to do something in India. So, his views are fairly biased about India - like trying to compare a Developed vs a Developi

You need some credibility before you write articles about huge corporations that have achieved something. Atleast you must be somewhere near the top of the hierarchy where your subject is, to understand fully about them, so you can even co

Since my other comment got downvoted, people forgot the point. Read how strong this man defended and pretended to be so innocent when he was first accused: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:9lN3hH-... Kissmetrics is a v

Aah..the "Apple can do no wrong" kind of attitude. The article is perfect, and your fourth point is plain BS, because you categorize profits. Profits are profits dude. You can't dismiss saying this profit isn't that type of profit..etc. Pro

Is it just me, or has YC has become shit off-late? No offense, I think the game is great, but worth funding for? I doubt, I mean not from YC ofcourse. What happened to true innovation at YC? This is just plain embarrassing for YC, ofcourse.

These people aren’t just being seduced by a clever sales pitch: they’re being shepherded there by lots of very high-profile blogs, such as Wired and TechCrunch and Mashable and GigaOm. Its funny that reuters is writing this, because, they

I'm genuinely curious - Scala is faster and better performant, what is there in GO that there isn't in Scala? I mean, if you were to build a highly scalable web app, why would you choose one over the other? Any thoughts??

Oh, please tell me about how having a single button for everything provides great UX. Seriously, no back button is what you call great UX?

This is one good reason why I don't read anything written by this guy. Very often we see him posting his thoughts and rants on HN about stuff he little knows about on his blog (Marco.org) pretending to be some kind of super-entrepreneur.

By that definition, Samsung is more innovative than Apple- 4.8 Inch Display vs 3.5 Inch Quad core processor vs Dual Core processor 4g vs 3g And, no lawsuits from Samsung. Who is more innovative, now?

You should be happy that he actually took the time to respond to an un-intelligent troll like you instead of saying something simple like 'GFYS'. Now don't ask me what that means or it would be embarrassing for you.
