The food truck business is great in San Jose and other places. I agree with others: this seems to be a NYC problem.

The bizarre rationalization of "a necessity to separate content and design" is false, but I understand if it helps graphic designers.

However it is bizarre. Rich-Text-Fields are what the customers want, and that combines text, audio and video and all text formatting.

Just make sure your website works without Javascript or CSS enabled.

From the mangled words of Eric Schmidt: "Maybe if you didn't do those things, you wouldn't need things deleted from the internet"

Goof balls can't even see most of the solar systems, and they are saying what is and what is not normal?

Hubris alert!

Your comment doesn't make any sense.

I sense an axe grinding...

If you are curious, my kickstarter is at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/benlindelof/ac-10-the-fp...

I like 'Code Opinion Blogs'. Interesting insight into what people prefer when coding!

I add this to my hosts file to speed up browsing and avoid these issues: 127.0.0.1 fonts.googleapis.com

Programming, maintenance, scaling, etc, is not hard.

If you think it is hard you are either doing it wrong, or it's the wrong job for your personality.

It can sometimes be a challenge, but that is the fun part, not the hard part.

However this explains why Google seems so abrasive... they think it's hard!

All I saw was some smart ass jack asses getting busted since everyone has a camera nowadays. Get used to everyone having cameras to capture your jackass behavior.

Funny that these trolls are so defensive after they got busted and photographed. They can dish it out, but they sure can't take it.

Wow, I don't know about you, but this is amazing to watch.

It's like Google is operating without a head. It's turned vicious and acting offensively against a specific technology.

RSS will live on, of course. Amazing that Google is also so pompous.

I don't find computer users elite. Nor do I find the average consumer to be masters of programming languages.

"Joe Sixpack" makes sense to me. Someone who thinks computer experts are elite, and doesn't know much about computers.

I prefer Twitter over App.net. So far there isn't any reason for me to switch. I have no complaints, so I have no need for a competing service.

Anyone else out there feel the same way? App.net's environment seems hostile (like following only up to 40 people), compared to the friendly environment and user experience with Twitter.

There was no mob. Just some angry posts on the internet. Please realize most people don't care about random internet comments, or take them seriously. Just something to argue about when we're focused on a story, it's no big deal.

The outrage seemed normal: Broder and Consumer Reports seem to think that leaving the car unplugged overnight is normal or should ever be done. Or they combine 2 days+1 overnight unplugged, and call that a day, knowing that the cold overnight storage sapped the battery.

So either they are acting stupid, or don't really know how to test battery-powered vehicles. Sure, you don't have to follow instructions, but if you don't, you will have problems, no matter what excuse you have about 'testing something'.

If Broder can't remember what happened, farting around for details, he should have been a professional and videotaped at intervals so he could check the facts.

I don't understand this: "Typical coffee machines have two user-accessible compartments - one for water and one for coffee beans".

No they do not. Most "Typical coffee machines" require ground beans in a basket. The coffee maker described as typical is actually something I have never seen before.

Try a Kuerig if you want a cool coffee maker! But they again are not "typical coffee machines".

Seems 100% perfect to me. If I want a link to open my apps in iTunes, I can give them this one, and it was created automatically: http://appstore.com/titanbaseproductions

Yes, it's a well-known convention to link back to the Home page by clicking on the logo.

Google seems to fighting this well-known convention. The google logo is frequently linked to nothing at all!

It's an accurate reflection of a subset of visitors of Hacker News. That subset are those that post here. I don't think they like what the reflection shows, so it might be a good learning experience.

Wrong #1: It happened, they reported it. It's news! Wrong #2: What else were they going to do? Interesting question, but what does it have to do with your statement regarding newsworthiness?

I assume you are trolling hard and fast with your immature post?

This is currently the top story on Hacker News. Instead of dealing with the fact that someone's depression caused them to commit suicide, they are casting about for blame.

That's not a very healthy way to deal with this situation. But I realize what you are all doing: you are trying to use his horrible death as a political statement to further your causes (something about making academic papers free and accessible, nothing to die over, especially if you have to deal with the cops).

If you can't do the time, or deal with the repercussions without killing yourself, don't do the crime. Also I find the reaction on Hacker News disgustingly trying to use this to further their narrow agenda.

So to respond to the title of this top thread: who cares if he was chided?? No reason to kill yourself! Give me a break! Show the man some respect.

good metrics to consider! any I missed?

Sounds interesting, but I would only use it if it were free. Twitter, FB, and Google+ work fine for what I need.

What do I need from App.net? Friends who use it.

On the homepage at microsoft.com, they are using the same logo for Microsoft Store as the company name.
