This link was posted here yesterday. Matt Cutts' comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2795465
The reason for suspension is probably the quotes in her name. A Google engineer on g+ posted that you should not have any special characters in your name to avoid getting suspended.
Unless the small number is less than 1!
That article is not about Afghanistan but Pakistan.
Another reason for developing distributed DNS system http://p2pdns.baywords.com/
Their entire database was stolen. So you should change your password to be safe.
Here is the list of Gawker passwords along with MySQL, FTP accounts http://pastebin.com/9rRmf6W5
Thousands of people still use "password" as their password.
App Engine has a billing plan if you want to use more resources than the free quota. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/billing.html It is a lot cheaper than AWS
For avoiding NY Times wall, if you are using Chrome, you can just right click the link and "open in new incognito window".
It is working intermittently. Apparently this works with hotmail as well because Facebook has a tie up with Microsoft.

Most of Google's competitors (in search) are already trying to discover/emulate Google's algorithms. There is no need for a contest. Any one who is capable of doing that can build a great search engine instead and earn a lot more money.
But a person/team making it easy to write programs that use the Kinect on Linux may not be able to sell the software. So a contest makes sense.
The check boxes aren't even visible in my chrome. http://imgur.com/qMpND
I don't know if this is a bug.
What are you talking about on YouTube? Most of the top Youtube partners (people who get paid by youtube for videos) are individuals and not corporations.
I don't know any YouTube decision that hurt YouTube channels by individuals in any way.
Not just on many machines. You can change your MAC address on any manchine using GNU macchanger http://www.alobbs.com/macchanger/
The Twitter API docs (http://dev.twitter.com) has HTTP error codes for each Twitter API. There is Twitter Search API, Twitter REST API and Twitter Streaming API. So though the meaning of the error code might differ slightly generally it is the same. For example, 200 is always successful request and 404 is always resource not found.
Are you seriously checking for failwhale's image name in API response?
Twitter API has rate limits. I think it is 360 req/hour per IP if you are not white-listed. So if you poll using server-side code you are likely to hit the rate-limit. You can cache results to avoid this.
Looks useful and impressive.
May be "Show details" should be "About Me". And instead of forcing "login\signup", a page allowing direct customization of the widget and embed code would be more impressive.
Why did Google blacklist all of your Tldscan sites? Was it just because your sites' content was updated automatically? Or was it because you did something wrong for SEO?
Earlier they did not offer custom URL shortening. goo.gl was used by Google services like Reader, YouTube but it was not open to public.
I wonder if Google has an API to get all stats or an API to get all short links pointing to a URL.
PS: That means there is still atleast one HNer using internet explorer.
Yes, Google stores this preference in Cookies (which is wierd). So if your browser clears cookies on exit, 'instant' is again enabled by default.
You can block *.facebook.com in adblock plus. Then you can allow ads on facebook.com.
So on facebook, you won't be blocking Facebook.com. But on other sites, facebook would be blocked.
Intel build a processor with X amount of L3 cache.
They sell it for $400 to initial buyers but "disable" 100 MB of L3 cache without telling them. Then after 6 months, just to make money of the initial buyers again of the same chip, offer this processor "upgrade" for $50. This is immoral and the initial buyers will feel cheated.
This case is not like software where programmers worked on something and then ask a price for upgrade. Intel had already made all investment and work before the purchase. Intel then already took a profit for selling the processor.
Does this have anything remotely related to Hacker News?
Except may be reddit is a ycombinator startup.
You are right. bitly did tracking and analytics. But Twitter can have even more information by forcing all users to use t.co.
The point of the article is that Twitter can force every one to use t.co on its platform and thus provide better analytics, malware detection etc than its competitors.
It is a game changer for Twitter monetization; not so much for users or content creators.
There should be ratings system in Mechanical Turk based on sincerity of answers. You should be able to pay more to get people with better ratings.
Another option is to get reviewed by thousands of people through Hackernews, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
That article title seems like link-bait.
The title declares "phone numbers are dead". The article says "my grandkids will never dial a phone number".
The official twitter of hacker news is http://twitter.com/hackernews. The hacker news Twitter automatically tweets out top stories. That guy must have assumed the 'Tumblr sucks' tweet to be a official Y Combinator tweet without even clicking on the link.
