Why is everyone complaining about unimportant details? Please focus and provide constructive feedback.
mars··on Introducing Quip
Didn't you signup for google docs as well?
mars··on Tox: secure messaging for everyone
why not hop on the xmpp train? xmpp just lacks a great client incl. some cross device synch capabilities, but besides that is secure, decentralized, open and a standard...
mars··on The PRISM letter Google, Yahoo, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft are sending Congress
because they are hypocrites. this is a pr joke.
mars··on Anti-corruption blogger Navalny sentenced to 5 years behind bars
Dude, wtf? Are u serious? This guy did nothing wrong. He's a journalist and it seems like you don't get the idea of freedom of speech. Maybe it's because of people like you that the Russian government can do whatever it wants.
mars··on Secret Documents: NSA monitored 500 million connections in Germany
+1. unfortunately the german pirate party is badly organized, suffers from having no real leadership and thus they don't have a clear road (nor program). i'm gonna vote for them anyhow - just because it's better having them in the bundestag than not.
mars··on LayerVault launches free online backups and version control
the title is totally misleading. layervault is _not_ going open source.
mars··on When founders get overloaded with tasks
I wonder how many of those 'prioritize your tasks' pieces have to get written until it finally stops.
mars··on Germany is downgrading
and cable is also available almost everywhere.
mars··on Germany is downgrading
Thats not correct as other providers are leasing the infrastructure from DT. So you have a choice almost everywhere.
mars··on Germany is downgrading
Kabel Deutschland is throttling as well. Unity media just revealed that they dont have any plans to do so. They also off 128 mbit for 60 eur per month.
mars··on Ask HN: Any good CMSs for showing off creative works?

mars··on Ask HN: Tools of the trade, 2013 edition
dude, your shift key is broken. you might wanna get a new keyboard.

you might wanna check out http://www.yeager.cm if you are searching for a slick and easy to extend php (5.3) cms.

disclaimer: i'm one of the devs/founders.

Hang in there. New work will arrive soon :)
mars··on Vulnerability in JSON Parser in Ruby on Rails 3.0 and 2.3
Lulz :) I mean ruby nailed it, right?
mars··on Germany to Repatriate Some of Its Gold Reserves
storing it where it belongs just adds a little bit of safety. i mean you never know, especially when considering the current world economics.
mars··on Germany to Repatriate Some of Its Gold Reserves
they agreed on shipping it back to germany within the next s-e-v-e-n years. why is that? this sounds kinds dodgy to me - as if the banks who "might" store it would have to earn it first.

btw: france once transported it's gold reserves back to france in a nuclear submarine - classy.

mars··on Proactive Log Review Might Be A Good Idea
well done, pal. although he must be bored to death riding his chair into the future.
mars··on How to Fold a Julia Fractal
this is webgl (at least the mathematical visualizations)
mars··on Pain of the New: The Hobbit at 48 fps
after my eyes were actually adapting to the 48 frames/s i really liked the experience. what i found strange though was, that when displaying landscapes there was actually a depth-of-field in the movie - which did not make it a fully "real" visual experience. i guess this is rather a technical limit of the cameras the movie was shot with than intended. anyone got some details on this?
mars··on Samsung flexible display demo (CES)
oh man, i really want one. not sure for what yet, but please :)
mars··on Show HN: FileRock, a Secure Dropbox Clone, goes Open Source
i can really recommend owncloud if you want to run something like this on your own servers - works like a charm. http://owncloud.org
mars··on Polaroid wants to print your Instagrams
i don't see how this will make polaroid relevant again, as there are already loads of services which do exactly that online.

i also doubt the business model. you need to sell boatloads of printouts every month to operate 2000 square feet retail shops in top locations. i just don't see how this can ever break even.

mars··on Canonical announces Ubuntu for smartphones
if it runs on android compatible phones it will also run on android compatible tablets.
mars··on Hello Facebook Crawler
i'm just not so sure if the direction this is heading to is good. and also the headline of that article is miserable (as omarchowdhury already pointed out).
mars··on Hello Facebook Crawler
+1. not sure how a post like this can make it to the front page.
mars··on Is It Wrong To Use A Svbtle Theme?
design is intellectual property and thus it's not ok to use it (or better "pirate" it) without permission.
mars··on WordPress 3.5 “Elvin” Released
depending on what type of project you are building you might want to have a look at yeager (http://www.yeager.cm). although the site states beta, the tool is stable and used in live environments since several years.
