if GitHub goes down, the software development world practically stops

Oh my goodness. Is this article just plain wrong, or does a large enough subset of Silicon Valley & friends actually do this that they mistook that behavior as including the other 99% of the software development world?

==============================

SEEKING WORK - Vancouver / BC / Remote

==============================

- Full stack front end/back end/software developer

I am passionate about programming and making things, and would be happy to help you with your vision. You can see some of my personal work on my website at http://www.bram.gg and samples of my code on GitHub at https://github.com/bramgg. You may contact me via email at hello@bram.gg.

[0] Including Jade, Jinja2, STPL

[1] Including LESS, Stylus, Sass

[2] Including CoffeeScript, jQuery, and too many libraries to count

[3] Lots of experience. Used many times with Express for web apps

[4] Lots of experience. Used many times with Flask/Bottle for web apps

[5] Not a fan, but if it gets the job done!

[6] Minimal experience, but able to use comfortably

If a dev found a solution just half of those times, and it saved them just 30 minutes, that's nearly 1.85 billion hours saved.

Those are very generous numbers.

The hackers aren't a part of a social movement prepared to proudly go to jail for the case of making cheating illegal.

They also aren't guided by morals at all. Anyone with half a brain can figure out that releasing this data would have massive life-ruining repercussions for both good and bad people. Applauding the hackers is incredibly naive, unfortunately that seems to be the theme of this thread.

OP: To answer your question, make something worth posting (can be a simple side project) and tweet Ryan Hoover asking for an invite. AFAIK he got traction initially by tweeting at people who posted Show HNs, and even though PH is past that now I'm pretty sure he's still very active on Twitter and your chances of being accepted are quite high.

Me and my friend like to bet on games of Miniclip 8 Ball Pool, because of that we don't mind spending money on the best cues to gain an advantage. It's really funny seeing how the game starts treating you differently once it identifies you as a "whale". I was just thinking the other day about how that data would be so valuable if it was able to be obtained before a player outed themselves as such. One problem I imagine a data-sharing platform like this would have though is games lying. A game publisher has more to gain from taking data and giving nothing back than following the rules of the platform. How do you ensure publishers are being honest with you?

Kind of off topic, but how much did do.com cost? I understand if you can't share this, but if other people have purchased domains of similar status I'd love to hear about how it all went down.
