Patrax··on Larry Ellison: "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we’re recording"
"best behaviour" doing a lot of work here. Best as defined by the oppressor of course.
Patrax··on Flipper One – we need your help
Petition to update the mascot and rename to Flipper Juan
Patrax··on The dangers of California's legislation to censor 3D printing
Clearly there are not enough meaningful tasks available in society and all that's left is people in different positions of power trying to look busy.
Patrax··on Bored of It
Agree - but don't think there is a "best mind(s)". We're creatures of repetition and thus specialization, and so our minds can get really good at very specific things, but ultimately we're all dumb apes trying to survive as best we can.
Patrax··on How did Tropicana lose $30M in a packaging redesign?
Is this inspired by Atrioc's video? :P https://youtu.be/KnHJtJH5AaA?t=455
Patrax··on “So the silence from Facebook over the weekend is.. deafening.”
Is this person trying to dump FB stock for his own benefit? It makes me very skeptic that he had to tweet 11 times in a very alarmist tone. If his opinion is firm on transitioning from FB to a more private and secure alternative why not just say that in 1 or 2 tweets in a tone endorsing other platforms perhaps in a more positive manner?
Patrax··on Airplanes that fly on electricity debut at Fresno’s Chandler Airport
Not cool how they frame the story to make it sound like the municipalities in question were responsible for making the plane.
Patrax··on Connected Lab Is Hiring (Toronto)
Please reference this Hacker News post when applying.
Patrax··on Show HN: HN Document Repository
Scribd: We don't expect to compete with Scribd. We think there is a lot of space to find a different niche, but in order to get to that we basically need to tread a very similar path as Scribd's.

Language: The website is translated automatically for all Latin American Countries and defaults to english for the rest of the world. The only difference is, when you're browsing in english, you only get english documents and when you're browsing in spanish you get both spanish and english documents.

Legal: The way we're approaching the legal situation is by removing any document that is reported and requesting appropriate proof of the copyright claim.

Spam: We fight spam by allowing the users themselves to moderate the content, much like medium or even hacker news itself.

Startup Chile: As far as Startup Chile goes, we haven't thought of going there. Have you been there yourself? Any hints or advice you could share with us? :)

Hey guys, this is my first Show HN, I'd love to hear some feedback from you. :) Let me know what you think of the reader and the UX in general.
Patrax··on Relationship Hack
I respect your opinion. However, I'm the type of person that fuels from relationships. Regardless of the complications, the added motivation and state of mind in general I get is well worth the cost.
