ruperp··on Hiding Arnold Schwarzenegger in my product to spread the truth in Russia
I think this idea is incredible. I really hope Anonymous (or some other hacking group with western values) uses their power to embed this video in sites that everyday Russians use often (banking portals, entertainment pages, etc).
ruperp··on Apple Made $6.5B USD by No Longer Providing Accessories with New iPhones
> It's all a part of my "Green Intitiative". And by green, I mean money.

ruperp··on A curated list of warez and piracy links
That's the beauty of hosting this on github. You can just look at the active forks and find a better list.

Though, it'd be nice if Github forks could all come together and vote on a new "primary" when the source repo gets abandoned.

ruperp··on The Feds Want to Know What the McFuck Is Going on with the McFlurry Machines
They should completely switch machine vendors and/or just blend the ice cream with the toppings (a la Dairy Queen).

Even when McFlurries come out perfectly, they taste horrible.

ruperp··on Show HN: Appleshouter – iOS Push Notifications for PWAs and Web apps
From the Github: "What you will need: An Apple Developer Program account".

That means you can easily be banned for abusing their wallet apis, and they'll probably also take down your other apps on that account.

ruperp··on Tell HN: Interviewed with Triplebyte? Your profile is about to become public
Seems like an unfortunate decision. Opt-in would have been the more respectable move here.
ruperp··on Ask HN: What skills will be useful during an upcoming recession/depression?
China and the USA are leading up to one.
ruperp··on Troubles Mount for the We Company as Softbank Reportedly Calls for Shelving IPO
Evidence against?
ruperp··on Dark emerges with ‘deployless’ software model
However, there's always a new generation of developers who will inevitably make the same mistake that you (and I) did.
ruperp··on Employee Wellness Programs Yield Little Benefit, Study Shows
Totally agree, it's gotten out of hand. We have too many people with too little to do. And too much money to pay them to do useless things. So they come up with more programs.
ruperp··on Stop Using LinkedIn
We tweaked the copy a bit. Would love your suggestions on something better. Thanks for the constructive feedback!
ruperp··on Stop Using LinkedIn
Better integration doesn't mean spam (LinkedIn already has that feature in spades). It means allowing apps to leverage your work connections to provide better tools for you to use.
ruperp··on Stop Using LinkedIn
OP here. So the FDR verbage is not popular.

Anyone willing to help write better text? Please email contact@stopusinglinkedin.com and we'll get it swapped out.

Apologies for the intro copy faux pas.

ruperp··on Stop Using LinkedIn
It's a play on the famous "Infamy Speech" by FDR. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infamy_Speech
ruperp··on Massive multiplayer online scrabble (nodeko entry)
Insanely addicting. I'm building out my own little peninsula of words.

Needs a minimap to get around.

ruperp··on MongoDB 1.6 stable released
Don't forget:

695 - Mongoid http://github.com/durran/mongoid

seems to be the Rails/Mongo project to watch. They got a slick looking homepage too: http://mongoid.org

Hoping to try using it on my next project.

ruperp··on Nice Gallery of Open Source PHP Apps
Yep, and its open source: http://github.com/jcnetdev/opensourcerails
ruperp··on Use this instead of letting your registrar park your domains with useless adwords
There's my awesome launch page :-): http://ruperp.comingsoooon.com/
ruperp··on Ask HN: E-mail invites to our closed alpha. How to gather? How to send?
Great suggestion, very cool site! Someone should submit this as a HN link. Pretty useful resource for hackers I think. I have like 70 domains that are just sitting around with lame Godaddy parking pages (with godaddy adwords). I'll probably spend some time tomorrow and just convert them all to LaunchSplash parking pages.
