That's not the point. Are you too busy to read the whole post?

How do you know when someone has deleted their Facebook account? They'll tell you.

Huh? I've learned a bit about money, and this comment strikes me as conspiracy theory having nothing to do with "how money really works".

Oh, it wasn't funny? My mistake. Thanks for letting me know.

Which part is ironic? That I upvoted a joke I found funny, even if was mocking me? Or that I upvoted a comment from a person who disagrees with me?

I upvoted you before you added the second paragraph because I thought your joke was funny. "But your equivocation between silencing other viewpoints and eliminating unhealthy voices is not useful." Why not? I was making the point that it

The problem is you might identify as "fool" someone who simply doesn't agree with you or the established groupthink. Re-read the first few paragraphs and replace the word "fool" with "person who doesn't agree with you" -- now it says somet

Were you actually confused and thought he meant "loose"?

"Some people say shyness is like gayness, something your born with. I haven't observed that to be the case, not that I've researched it." It actually is the case, for those who have researched it. Simplistic example that demonstrates this:

Didn't read the article, but I read the headline to my wife who has a Masters in Clinical Psychology and is studying for her MFT license exam. Her response, "That's garbage. Shyness isn't a bad habit, it's a personality trait; and it's pe

"There are many inaccuracies, anecdotes and personal opinions that in my and many others' opinions don't matter..." The content of your comment renders your comment meaningless. It's like a Hofstadter Strange Loop of meaninglessness.

This has nothing to do with his post. Did you read it beyond "What's wrong with Android?" and "Fragmentation"? He's saying that for his purposes Android is not up to snuff, and then lays out the reasons -- fragmentation was one of them. Th

Netflix works a treat with my webpass connection on my ps3. Never stops or stutters. That said, I'll probably cancel because there's nothing I want to watch anymore.

He or she also stated their opinion: "and IMO, correctly pointed out". The statement that it is widely claimed was sort of the point of the comment.

Because the majority reaction to any HN post is a technical pissing contest you have to learn to ignore if you want to glean anything interesting from the thread. If you're not interested in that, or in showing-off your own geeky credentia

When I think of Netflix, I think of renting flicks on the net... which is, um, what the original name meant. Also there's the whole last decade of this association. When I think of Qwikster, I do not think of anything related to DVD by ma

S&P and Moody's don't exactly employ an "army of experts" either. It's a few analysts making a rather subjective judgment and voting. (Literally, a few ). And the investors who are actually buying US debt don't rely on ratings agenci

If you need to proxy through nginx on your own server to pad some external api's json (to enable jsonp), wouldn't you be able to put that server on your own domain? Obviating the need for cross-domain jsonp?

We use Riak at Dropcam to store H.264 video streaming from cameras running 24/7 which needs to be available for playback on the website and mobile apps. We needed a block store that could scale to handle petabytes, tolerate disk and node f

Ditto ( http://dropc.am ). Very write heavy load for us, which Riak handles without blinking. Fault tolerant, robust, and easy to administer. Every machine is identical, no special "master" nodes or anything like that.
