Youtube App for PS3

there is a lot more, it's being used in a lot of startups and major companies throughout the world today, pretty sure the stats show it is far ahead of ember in real world adoption so far

flylibon The reason Angular JS will fail

why are people commenting on this nonsense? he obviously didn't do the research to back his logic and made shallow arguments nor did he once address any of the other competing frameworks to AngularJS does he think none of those are complicated either?

flylibon My pitch just got massacred on This Week in Startups. Very embarrassing. AMA

sounds like they don't know what they are talking about, I can name hundreds if not thousands of successful companies that you can't tell what they do from the company name, Apple and Google the two biggest tech companies are great examples

flylibon A Tool Will Let You See Anyone’s Email Address on LinkedIn

nah I wasn't connected to the people, the server is probably getting bombarded now since a whole bunch of news outlets are starting to cover it and that is causing a lot of errors but this was actually released like a week or two ago and works great

flylibon A Tool Will Let You See Anyone’s Email Address on LinkedIn

it works great, has constantly worked every time I tried it

flylibon A Tool Will Let You See Anyone’s Email Address on LinkedIn

it's easy to know what it is doing, it isn't using any LinkedIn exploits, it's scraping the name, url and company from the LinkedIn page then constantly running every possible combination against Rapportive and checking to see if it gets any returns and then compares the linkedin url of each return to the linkedin url it got from scraping. Rapportive is ironically a LinkedIn owned company so basically he is just dogfooding LinkedIn to exploit them

Identical to something like this but with with a few added steps

flylibon Update on Julie Horvath's Departure

> This narrows down the choices: the "founder" who is the cause for all this drama is either PJ Hyett or Tom Preston-Werner.

why is TechCrunch claiming Scott Chacon is a co-founder? He is married also but his wife is friends with Julie on Facebook so I doubt him

I doubt it was PJ's wife - https://twitter.com/kldub

which narrows it down to Theresa Preston-Werner and just for kicks

flylibon Update on Julie Horvath's Departure

> Doesn't appear so. They did get an HR person, but an experienced one? Not a chance. No experienced HR person would have let any of that get as far as it got. That HR person should probably be put on leave or be fired as well.

> that person came on board in January 2014

most of the things that had happened predated the HR person coming on, but you do have a point, the wife thing should of stopped since January

flylibon Reddit's Satoshi Nakamoto Skeptics

it took them 5 days to publish an article regarding it though and the fact that Newsweek was able to get a lead so quick (not saying it's the right guy) seems they like didn't do due diligence in the first place, I asked the author of The New Yorker piece for comment on the recent developments.

flylibon Reddit's Satoshi Nakamoto Skeptics

anyone remember this? In 2011, they did like 5 page investigative piece trying to find Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity.

http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/10/10/111010fa_fact_...

I love how they are trying to play dumb now when they were the ones that originally crossed the lines.

flylibon Satoshi Nakamoto denies being Dorian Nakamoto

Dorian is claiming he never heard about Bitcoin until a few weeks ago so if he was using them in 2011, then he is obviously Satoshi

flylibon HR leaked my salary. Now my team knows I make 3x they do

seems like he made himself pretty untraceable because google and other people search sites can't find almost anything on him

flylibon HR leaked my salary. Now my team knows I make 3x they do

For people questioning why the other people are pissed, it could be because the company lied to them during the process and said they could only afford to pay a certain amount when being hired now this comes out and they feel they got swindled and he just happens to be in the crosshairs

flylibon HR leaked my salary. Now my team knows I make 3x they do

salary ranges are commonly posted on job listings on AngelList, etc. so he could of saw it there when they were hiring for the position or if they are currently hiring for that position

also glassdoor posts salaries of different positions at companies so he could of saw it there

flylibon Ask HN: Problems with Hacker News Site lately?

I have narrowed it down to the IP address, the site works fine on the same computer/browser on any other IP address then when I use my home IP address, the site doesn't or barely works on any browser on my computer and doesn't work on my iphone connected to the IP, turn off the wifi and use my LTE and site works fine, some type of Wierd IP problem? The only site I'm experiencing problems with on my IP is this one, haven't ran into any other problems, I'm clueless on what the issue is, maybe restart the router?

flylibon Ask HN: Thoughts on Meteor.js?

the docs really aren't that quite weak when comparing them against Ember or Angular docs

flylibon Ask HN: Thoughts on Meteor.js?

Meteor UI. Better approach then any other UI framework out there (including Facebook's react or FTLab's fruitmachine)

Angular is better by a long shot

flylibon Show HN: No YC interview, but here's my application

honestly though there was a pretty large gap between the time Dropbox came out and Google Drive did though, Dropbox was already established and had a large user base when Google Drive launched

flylibon Show HN: No YC interview, but here's my application

well to be fair, your hitting a very crowded market that already has very established services with large userbases (If Google Docs, Word or Github just takes the idea then your basically done for) and there is a whole bunch of startups in the same exact space as you (Atlas, Editorially and Draft), that might of scared Y Combinator off because chances are one will thrive and the rest will fizzle out

flylibon Show HN: FeedVenue, a real-time Q&A platform written on Meteor

flylibon Things that suck in AngularJS
