Interesting. A residential IP was enough for me to get my Hermes agent grocery shopping successfully on a website with quite aggressive bot protection. I run Hermes on a VPS, and the website was blocking its IP. I gave it a reverse SSH tunn

If you'd be willing to take the time to dig something up on that I'd love to read it. It seems surprising to me that potential damages would not be taken into account. By doing so, the accussed would essentially be rewarded based on chance

And as Fannie Mae provided the inside-man with root access to all the main systems, it was apparently just as easy to destroy the backups. Edit: also in reference to this comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2054679

I really like startuply's idea and the execution is quite good. I'm surprised we don't hear more about them though. I was surprised they'd been around for so long (03/2008 [1]) before I first heard of them a month or so ago. 1. http://vent

I would gladly have 2-3 lines of relevant Google ads shown to me everytime I visit wikipedia if it meant I didn't have to see Jimmy staring back at me for a few days.

Yep, it sure is a great quote, shame he didn't attribute it to Reid Hoffman, who has been saying it since at least 2006: http://www.cambrianhouse.com/blog/startups-entrepreneurship/...

At first I liked the idea of market value based taxes and clearly a bunch of HN readers agree with the idea. The biggest issue I see though is the implication for small projects. For example, maybe in 1994 you snapped up pizza.com . You co
