I hesitated to even bring it up because I didn't know how to say it without it sounding like a personal attack, but FWIW, I didn't mean it as one. We all have photos taken of us that convey personalities that aren't really our own. I don't

IMO the problem isn't that he looks 20, but rather that he looks pretty douchey in that photo. Looking young isn't so bad in this context, but looking like you just stepped off of the set of one of those MTV 'reality' shows is. I'm fairl

Have any news sources stated whether or not EJ owns the place that got ransacked? I often see it referred to as her "apartment" in various places and was curious if she actually owned it or was a renter who was subletting it herself? Per

I can easily imagine they are done for. Not because of the PR backlash, but because what they are doing is already quasi-illegal in a lot of places and one juicy story like this that the media, lawyers and politicians can jump on is just a

The criminals already know everything about her (real name, likely her social security number, etc), what on earth does she have to lose by "extremely public" blogging?

This post is spot on and the fact that airbnb keeps tripping over this point is just baffling. Are they ignorant or evil? They have to be one or the other. Isn't it common sense that asking someone "What can we do to help?" is about as us

All of this discussion about what airbnb should or shouldn't do is ultimately moot now. Unless they can prove "EJ" is totally fictional and/or an insane liar the company is essentially dead in the water already (at least as a US operation)

Don't you understand? You're not Google's customer, you're Google's product ! Wait, wait, that isn't the right groupthink response for this situation.. Give me a second.... This is not a bubble this time, this is a real new new economy, t

Best not to talk about it in public, but let's just say Steve Jobs has another liver lined up, should he need one.

It is a shame your developers allowed you to commit perjury in such an automated fashion. With all due respect to you and your company (and while I fully support your right to invoke your TOS to take down content within your own service) I'

Looks like you're getting downvoted, but really the OP should be downvoted for bad writing. "in the past 7 days, my partner has failed to make ONE meeting" Dear OP, this states that your partner has made it to 6 out of 7 meetings. I know y

No (assuming it isn't a subpoena, which this isn't). Yes. He has just as much position to whip off a letter to Steve Jobs as anyone else, though his letterhead means he's probably less likely to receive a "no big deal" response. That's for

AAPL will keep going up because it always goes up, like home prices! You'd be a fool not to buy shares.

That may very well be the worst headline I've ever seen here on Hacker News, and not just because of the Etsy typo (though that plays a part in it). I couldn't even parse what it was trying to say until after clicking through to the link.

Nice site! All of this attention means you're going to get a nice C&D letter from the lawyers of Henk Roger's Tetris Co. LLC real soon, though.

I pay $25 a month for unlimited data and text on Virgin Mobile. Granted, nothing "unlimited" is really unlimited, but I stream music on my Android phone on this plan all the time and have not hit any soft or hard cap.

I have to say, I agree. Just think about all those starving kids in Ethopia with no upvotes and here we are on HN sitting in our comfortable Aeron chairs just pissing our upvotes away. Proof positive we are in the karma bubble here!!
