the pando daily sock puppets need a lesson in subtlety

when I re-read it I can see that is it more that he doesn't give a fuck. and thanks for clarifying with him.

wait, does jwz really expect us to believe that he doesn't know who arrington is? I mean, the techcrunch conference afterparty two years ago was at his night club .. and I am pretty sure i saw both of them there.

if 'the social network' ever becomes a trilogy you might see him in the background of a scene or two.

ok, we get it, you are awesome and important and now need a job.

It is purely a "I knew about this story, just so you know" pissing contest between tech 'journalists'.

very naive assumptions about what it costs and what it takes to train the unemployed (which isn't the problem to begin with, but that is a separate issue)

put simply, if it only took 3 months and $4k to train people to be ready for startup tech jobs, then everybody would already be doing it

who the hell shares a link to facebook on facebook?

"hey guys check this out"

the diff is that groupon is a cash machine. digg never was

I wonder why anybody from HN here read that article and decided to submit it and not the original source

dump it on github - someone will come around and clean it up for you

what is it written in?

there are dozens of pages that have been exposed on this one server. I have no idea how the opening tag can get mangled in so many different files

"Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)", gimme a break

Too much corpspeak, not enough real information.

you will face the same obstacle in all marketing

so she goes to extraordinary lengths to coverup her online activity, but grants an interview to a national news outlet where she divulges a large part of her personal history?

obvious troll is obvious

post it as a separate thread and a show hn

Is it true that there is no japanese word for 'looting'.

This all came up from a joke, we were watching the news broadcasts, and my friend said 'you know there is no looting in Japan' and I said 'that is because they don't have a word for it'. I ended up looking it up, and it seems true - can you confirm?

depends, do you as a reader want to know if public relations people are attempting to manipulate the sources of your news?

were you expecting the moviefone/AOL email to say "CHANGE THE FUCKING ARTICLE"

off course they are subtle about it, it is so they can deny it later - but the recipient and the sender (and people reading it now) all know wtf is going on and what was being asked

The backup generators that they bought on site had the wrong types of plugs on them.

When this is all done, I am sure that most of the problems at Fukishima will be found to be administrative rather than design.

As an aside, that plant was designed to withstand an 8.4 earthquake. Design requirements and actual strength are two different issues. Even a complete meltdown, such as at Three Mile Island, should be contained.

yes only certain types of special glasses. you can buy them from my online store for $29.95

I hope you don't write any webapps that I use

does anybody know if AppEngine supports any() and itertools ?

slideshare really need to drop the flash and do a html+js implementation

it is just an image slideshow, afterall

having the words 'bank of america' in the title likely goes towards it being marked as a possible phish

ye but what I am saying is that the analogy isn't 100% correct. It is more like going into your house and telling you that you aren't allowed to read the book anymore

I didn't say I agree with it, that is just the way it works

no because you own the physical paper but only a license for the content

or people who register a domain name first

and then do nothing with it

That, and I don't know why they can't just be straight out and say what they mean, instead of wrapping every quasi-statement in 'developers ask us if they can..'

the downside of anonymous is that anybody can claim to be from the group and pop their head up on CNN

considering what anonymous stands for, I think it is safe to say that anybody claiming to be part of the group while participating in a live on-air discussion on a news network, is not from the group and definitely doesn't understand it.
