Huh? An intelligence officer is exactly the type of person who wouldn't "appear to be in a position where his continued employment with the government would be an issue" while actually still being a government employee. Who

The simplicity of this is amazing. That being said, I have a question: Here in Canada, I can send an email transfer of funds from my bank account to my contacts by simply logging into my bank online and specifying the email address of the r

Jolo, this is great! What is the implication for your API now? I notice that it's still available on Mashape and you're still charging a fee for it.

Fair question. ETV was certainly more controlled during the Derg regime since it was an openly totalitarian government. That's not to say that this current regime doesn't have a tight grip on ETV although it sounds like you'r

That's a rather uninformed comment. Dr. Who was actually extremely popular in Ethiopia so this news doesn't surprise me one bit.

So, from my understanding, you're actually tasked with re-working their internet site as opposed to their intranet site. This is obviously a bigger undertaking than I had understood. I've worked with banks and insurance companies that have

A few questions: 1) Why are they adamant they they use an "open source cms"? 2) What is the primary use of the website? I don't imagine that "one of the larger financial services companies in the US" would leave the restructuring of the web

What are you talking about?? You know what, I make a conscience effort not to engage in serious dialog with people who need to use swear words to make their point like a 14 year old on a schoolyard - especially those that ramble on about "t

I agree with you there :) To be fair though, after seeing 2 weeks of posts on HN focused on demonizing an individual, I felt I needed to say something.

So, clearly you're someone who doesn't use any hyperboles in his day-to-day life ... Anyway, here's just a sample of the comments about Ortiz here on HN: "Great to see Ortiz's office crash and burn" "Carmen Ortiz needs to go. She's a

"It's good for the same reasons that they came down so harshly on Aaron -- to make an example" Making an example of someone in retribution for it happening to someone else is eye-for-an-eye.

Getting filtered down to the bottom is not actually just a result of getting down-voted. Having a lack of activity (from people essentially ignoring your message) is actually the other reason why comments slowly trickle down to the bottom -

Fair point but although it's tempting to go an eye-for-an-eye with Ortiz (and the federal government) after learning of Aaron's fate, I'm just not in a position to judge her actions. This is not my "holier than thou" moment, it's just that

The problem is, some people here on HN have been very aggressive in their attacks over the past few weeks - far worse than simply saying "she should resign". In addition to that, I've seen people sulk and get visibly agitated for long perio

Someone just down-voted this?! Really? I mean, really!? I post a polite, well-constructed, and well-reasoned opinion that's different from 99% of the opinions out there and instead of responding in a similar fashion, the best you could do i

Unfortunately, this comment will probably get filtered to the bottom but this has to be said: Since the story of Aaron's passing, this site has been home to a lynch-mob asking for Ortiz's head on a plate. I wish I knew enough about federal

From the little I've read about him, Raganwald seems like a rather smart guy so I'm fairly certain that he's well aware of the effect that various economic forces have on the decisions that people make in regards to employment/etc... Having

With all due respect PG, I'm not sure there's precedence for you "killing" articles like this but I don't think that's a good idea. This article has a lot of people talking and trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.
