I prefer this over to the "search within yourself" answer.
vicngtor··on What is Lil Wayne’s PageRank?
Enlightening - I've always wondered who the super node of the hip hop scene is.

Now I do thanks to you!!

Seriously? Quora has an ask anonymous function
vicngtor··on Spark Labs Raises $4.9M to Help Engineers Make Their Devices Smart
Well deserved. Their chip is practically the only chip that works and can be easily integrated into arduino boards.

I am thoroughly impressed by his passion.

vicngtor··on Facebook: Smells Like Enron
Enron hid their massive debt to generate a positive cash flow. They were not sustainable towards the end.

Facebook, however, is actually generating value and income.

Comparing Facebook to Enron is essentially comparing apple to oranges

vicngtor··on The new way to land a job at Facebook
Your comment is gold. My views on social is completely different now.

Spot on.

And you are quoting this from?

Wow that's impressive!
vicngtor··on Show HN: A django-inspired JavaScript templating system
For all I know Django's templating system is probably the worst templating system in the entire python web ecosystem.

Your comment greatly changed my views on advertising.
vicngtor··on Disqus Research: Pseudonyms Drive Communities
1) I am not surprised by the findings considering that it came from disqus 2) Posting more doesn't mean better. As a reader, it's often more helpful to have better comments than to have more comments. A good example would be the drop in trolling comments after TC switched to the facebook commenting systems.

This happens quite a lot in the valley.
vicngtor··on Ask HN: Idea Validation- Content Summarizer
Just build it and get feed back.

If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time asking here. First, your target audience probably won't be HN (since HN is a small community compared to the rest of the world). Second, nobody actually knows what they want.

vicngtor··on Facebook buys Gowalla
I thought facebook was moving away from checking-in. Is this a talent or product acquisition?
vicngtor··on More spring cleaning out of season at Google
Glad to see Google focusing their resources on more critical projects such as Android and Wallet.
vicngtor··on Google Wallet - A Missed Opportunity?
rjd: If you are afraid of something like the Android Beam, then I would be too worried.

Any sensitive data will have at least a password level nfc security measure to prevent sniffing. It's not like you can just take your NFC enabled device and sniff devices with google wallet installed. You would require explicit permission to gain any data.

vicngtor··on DuckDuckGo included in Opera
Really? Downvoting me for asking a question in possibly the most polite and non-ignorant manner?

I know this is hacker-news, but do you guys really have to get into this anti-big company behavior?

vicngtor··on DuckDuckGo included in Opera
Pardon me for my ignorance, isn't this somewhat considered to be some form of anti-trust behavior?

If not, why does Google Chrome ask you to pick Google, Bing or Yahoo at the first use?

vicngtor··on Google Wallet - A Missed Opportunity?
If this is the case I am sure they will have someone look into the possibility of integrating this card system in their wallet.

If the card indeed does make sense, it won't be too late to do both NFC and the card. The fundamental core of the wallet is not the NFC technology but the ecosystem that it is trying to build.

vicngtor··on LinkedIn Product Manager interview review
Yeah I am pretty sure you are not allowed to post this because you would probably have signed an NDA before your interview.

You have to respect the people at LinkedIn who put in a lot of effort to design this interview process by not leaking it out.
