Here's one, not sure if it has more details than you already know: http://searchaws.techtarget.com/news/2240223024/Code-Spaces-...

Does anyone know if the raw text of the page scans is available yet?

It was on this exact blog post. But just to hear him tell the story of how he built this thing in his words was incredible.

Travis's talk at Summercon was incredible - I shot the video for it and will hopefully (with Travis's and Mark's permission, of course) will post it soon!

How HackerNews Dies.

I'm curious to hear someone's response to this as well. To me, it seems like a lucky break following by a whole lot of networking.

If you wanna play these little bullshit hiring games, you better put more money on the table.

Hiren's BootCD is exactly the kind of tool I've been looking for - but I can't find the download link on that page. Am I an idiot, or does he not host his own boot cd on his site?

This UI they are pushing with Metro (or whatever it's called now) is horrendous. Has nobody at Microsoft ever read a design book?

You're going to run into this on any social news site. Don't act surprised - it's the nature of the beast.

One change to the Google SERP ranking algorithm is going to ruin their day.

It's hard to rage against you when you respond so nicely!

All of these bullshit attempts to legitimize your idea aside - if you're really sticking to your mission of making this work, you should work on not making your text captions look so lazy. It honestly looks like someone screencapping Pinterest posts and writing text captions over them in MSPaint.

This is exactly what the internet needs less of. Sad to see the diaspora guys reduced to overlaying unfunny text captions over jpgs.

Interesting, but what does this have to do with HN?

This kinda stuff gets me fired up. Do your job, blogger!

Anyways, edited.

"As math was not my subject in school, I don't know who is right but would love to hear from mathematicians out there."

Go find a professor, you sorry excuse for a "journalist".

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the end-all be-all for internet privacy? Is there any configuration that would guarantee complete anonymity? All the possible solutions I've heard of (Tor, Freenet, etc.) have security holes which allow unmasking of the end-user.

Might as well use all that info they're collecting on you in some useful way.

This is reddit nerd fan-fiction.

That's exactly what this game feels like: a sweatshop. The auction house ruined all the excitement of the game for me - instead of gearing up through farming, they eliminate the "slot machine" appeal of the game by making the only way to gear up through the auction house. Basically, this means you're just running around mindlessly trying to collect as much gold as possible. I played Diablo 2 for 4 years straight; I played Diablo 3 for 2 weeks straight and shelved it. I did the same with SC2 as well... Blizzard games seem to have lost the magic for me. Obviously, I blame activision.

Typo in the title. Nice.

I wasn't even aware this was happening. Frightening stuff.

I sure as hell ain't downloading any movies from mystery trackers.

Absolutely, that title is just baiting. We're in the internet era now - when can we get over the east vs west or valley vs nyc rivalries? There are bad apples and fools in suits everyone in the world.

I guess it's now on the frontpage of CNN but still - I haven't heard any fanfare over this and it's pretty monumental.

Is it me or is this getting absolutely no press?

Blog spam.

Did you actually have any angry customers contacting you who paid full price for the app?

I tried to come up with an appropriate rebuttal, but you're right - it wasn't the middle class that was taken advantage of here, it was truly the "dumb money" who decided to buy a stock with a 100:1 PE ratio. Point taken.
