The level to which the user base has ignored this, and merely uses the down-vote button to incline their personal displeasure is hilarious.

If you don't want to be Digg / Reddit / Metafilter, then don't trust your monkey user base

Hint: I've never used a "down-vote" button, on any site, even in realms of rabid Libertarian Neo-Fascist thought-land.

Why?

Because I'm not a fucking retard who thinks their personal opinion means that their self image as a 'special snowflake' is valid.

HN is seemingly full of idiots.
It's been fascinating to follow this over the last few days. I almost think that in some ways, it's more exciting to see it happen via Twitter than it would be to watch it on video. I wonder why that is.
Great Work made simple by wonderful minds!!! And a superb review for the same...
I have this creepy feeling that this post is part of an attempt to attack the iPad trademark (trademarks can't be enforced if they come to refer to a type of product rather than a specific product produced by the trademark holder).

Of course, I have no evidence to support this theory, and I furthermore don't particularly care about the rights of IP holders. It just struck me as implausible that someone could really believe that "ipad" is a generic term for a tablet, and I wouldn't put it past corporate PR departments to engage in this sort of shenanigan.
The assumption I didn't appreciate, even more than "even MIT_hacker can learn something from the homeless", was that Larry "could easily get a job at a bike shop." The OP should read the recent article in Rolling Stone, The Sharp Sudden Decline of America's Middle Class.

But it does sound like there's a demand from the upper-class for urban guide-service through Tenderloin.
I'm also live tweeting from the rail if anyone wants pics and stuff. @ryanjordansf
That rather surprises me as well. I thought there'd be more analysis of what was happening - I looked in WebKit Inspector and noted some odd things. Something about a "hidden socket" in chrome.
Not really. There are only a few great apes that people are familiar with, so the term "ape" is fairly precise. It's also alliterative.
One more reason to grab nexus 7 while it lasts.
Well, my point was that throwing in a revenue chart of one company only is just not a way of explaining things. There are many reasons why you could want Ballmer to stay - as you say, a replacement could even do worse - but that chart alone is not one of them. Especially because in our growing industry, the growth roughly matches the growth of the market. It is certainly not "plenty of reasons". Hewlett Packard has similar revenue development with MSFT and still they are firing CEOs left and right.

Going to Google.com and disabling Instant Search, searching for something and then enabling it back worked for me. Now, searching from the address bar on Chrome works fine and am no longer redirected to blank.html.
Annoying bug. I was sure as hell I have a trojan. So, I am actually happy that people say "me too" without reporting any other problems.
Nokia has been claiming patent infringements for years -- just like Apple, Microsoft, and 1000 other companies. What does this have to do with a "Plan B"?
You cannot talk on the phone at the table and you can only use your phone if you aren't in the hand.
Turned off Instant Search and everything works now (except for Instant Search which I can live with until they get it fixed).
Oh oops. Deleted the original, will need a fix for that too.
You know, i was just wondering if the bing team had noticed a spike in traffic as people switch their default searchers today? DDG as well, i guess. I'd love to see gabriel weinberg do a write-up about his stats for today :)
Ask HN: How do you deal with difficult people at work
Need a bit of advice right now, but also thought it might be helpful to others. Currently at a point at work where feels like I'm continually butting heads with one associate to the point I feel overwhelmed and anxious at even the thought of working alongside them. Right now I really want to cut and run and get out of the situation but I feel that's the easy route and I'm in this for the long haul so HN I need your advice!
Thanks - can you recommend a workaround for the moment?

Appassure was 50-100 million, Quest is 2.4 billion. They paid for a little bit more than just NetVault. Just a thought...
Or maybe they're kicking themselves that they missed out on buying BakBone last year for ~50 million and are now paying the extra 2.35 billion to make sure they get NetVault too?
Mozilla Announces Support for Mobile OS
I'm mystified why you think 1) matters in this argument. Obviously this is a very different discussion if they dropped the FRAND patent suits and only sued on non-FRAND patents.

And, since you ask, I think threatening the entire industry standard (which affects every single company that implements the standards) is much, much worse than any action between two companies. They have enough money to sort it out themselves.
The Ultimate Datacenter: Googleplex Star-thinker or Matrioshka Brain
There's no reason to assume that the old addresses in people's address books were the same ones Facebook had as primaries. If my co-worker was in my phone as tom@patientslikeme.com, but signed up for Facebook as tom@gmail.com, and Facebook tries to roll back? Data loss still, and possibly even a privacy leak.

The rules were changed in 2010 to allow texting/tweeting.

Here's a link to this year's official WSOP rules: http://www.wsop.com/2012/2012-WSOP-Rules.pdf (see section 61 on Communication)

Here's the relevant part: "Participants not involved in a hand (cards in muck) shall be permitted to text/email at the table, but shall not be permitted to text/email any other Participant at the table."

Arguably, a public tweet could be interpreted as a text or email to another participant at the table, but the rules are not enforced that way and tweeting is a generally accepted practice by pros and amateurs alike.

If I search for something where I might expect a regionally-customised result, like "newspaper", I get "The Sun", "The New York Times" and "The Guardian" from encrypted.google.com, but I get the SMH, "The Australian", etc. etc. from a regular google.com.au search.
Private settlements are usually around $3,000 per person, which quickly adds up with hundreds of defendants.

Let's play evil for a moment here..

Given a reasonably typical sales for a tech book (5k) and a net income of, say, $15 per unit, it could only take 25 "settlements" to nominally match a $75k revenue (let's double it to 50 to cover legal costs). So potential new business model for publishers: publish books, make it relatively easy for them to be pirated, proactively chase easy targets, settle/sue, profit?

Nonsense, the cost wasn't $0, the price was. Doctor's don't work for free and that money came from somewhere, in that case taxpaying citizens of the UK, of which I assume your brother was one of. It cost him, he just got the bill from the gov't instead of the hospital.

I know it may sound pedantic to argue over little words like that, but I think people's lack of understanding around basic economics contributes to the problems we have. Promoting the notion that healthcare can somehow be "free" does little to fix the problems we see in our current system here in the US.

If they use white list approach for their DRM it is not surprising that they flagged wine, but keeping in mind it is permanent ban and there is no way to play D3 offline, and that they refused to give refunds there are reasons to be angry at them. Fortunately personally I did not "bought" d3 because i don't like renting games(and requiring constant connection to server makes it renting).

I also found it surprising that it is apparently possible to modify client to teleport, move faster, and see data that is not allowed by standard client[1]. One would thought that after they went such a lengths to make it online only (making even map generation on server side) they would not trust a client. But apparently not.

"These programs may increase movement speed or teleport heroes from one place to another beyond what is allowed by game design. It also includes any programs that obtain information from the game that is not normally available to the regular player"
I'm not arguing that. I'm just arguing that the "no third option" is overly simplistic.

Samsung can decide to change their licensing terms if they deem them no longer "fair", as you note, as long as it is done in a non-discriminatory fashion.

But you could respond to dates' questions just to be polite (in this case on Flippa) or head off further questions by inviting potential datees to contact you via email and deal with them there.

That's the only thing that irked me - having the property on Flippa but ignoring the questions submitted there. Other than that, the price was openly disclosed and the operators interacted on HN, etc.
I wish you guys would reconsider your position on mp3 support. We'd love to support mobile Firefox, but without html5 mp3 support, or flash support, that'll be a non-starter until Firefox OS has massive traction, enough to justify the cost of transcoding millions of files and maintaining 2 copies.

Services that provide data as JSON and RSS are not part of MVC at all. Even if you use MVC for your application, not _every_ part of your application has to fit into MVC. You use MVC only for the part of your application that communicates with the user. Other parts of your application, like external APIs, should not be crammed into any of your MVC components. A service that provides RSS or JSON on request would simply fetch data in a database and send it along, bypassing all your models, views and controller entirely. (Note that the database is not considered a part of MVC).
That's not correct.

FRAND was a way to ensure that a standard had the ability to become popular without patents getting in the way. Cross licensing is about avoid mutually assured destruction.

The idea that Apple got an injunction for a patent dispute is hardly unique. It happens all the time.

"Aw, c'mon. They probably worked their ass off to get those artists to sign up with them before the site even launched."

That's right. And precisely because they worked very hard for that, I added my comment to let them know they are now throwing away most of that effort because they hide the music behind some login. I would put the music out there and annoy people with the login or at least, learn from the drug dealers: first time it's free (more like first 10 times it's free).

Whenever I read poker articles by non-poker writers it always makes me cringe. Kind of like when non-tech writers write articles about the tech industry. Not exactly, "the internet is a series of tube" cringe worthy, but just annoying stuff.

1. The WSOP is a series of events. He is playing in one event, not the actual World Series of Poker.

2. $1000, while a lot to most people, is the cheapest event you can buy into at the WSOP. There is a $1 million buy-in (for charity) and a $50K Player's Championship and the Main Event which is a $10K buy-in.

3. It's not a 3 million dollar pot, it's a 3 million dollar prize pool.

4. Being in place X is completely irrelevant when talking about "how much he would win in his current spot"

Also where's Ian Chan's results page? Or is this going to be his first live tournament cash?

More 9s and fewer 0s please
I apologize for at all seeming negative, I just want to clarify a few aspects of the story which I feel are a little misleading:

"The buy in is a steep $1,000" - Yes, in absolute terms $1,000 buy-in is high, however by WSOP standards this is the lowest buy-in for an open event (IE anybody can enter).

"if he took home fourth (the place at which he’s currently ranked), Chan would take home more than $150,000" - At this stage in the tournament even looking at the payout for your position is just crazy. Even the first place player right now would likely be better off taking $150k if somebody offered it to him right now rather than play on. Right now the 1st place stack has about 12% of the chips in play (our hero has ~4% of the chips in play). In order to win you need to get 100% of the chips in play... IE there is a long way to go for everybody.

"though he’s probably done the best: Former Facebook exec Chamath Palihapitiya took 101st place last year." - This is the most egregious error. Chamath placed 101st in the WSOP Main Event, the $10,000 buy-in and most prestigious event in the WSOP series (it is called main event after all). This is just comparing apples to oranges, the events have completely different buy-ins, different structures, and of course one is the main event and one isn't. I think many people would prefer a 101st place finish in the main event rather than anything short of winning this $1k no limit event from purely a prestige perspective.
