whaevr

Thats what I was thinking, Im going to go ahead and guess that not too many fb users go through their entire timeline and delete Every.Single.Post. Flagging something like that as hostile and then "restoring" your timeline makes sense. However, I feel like there should be some kind of communication going on in email before something is actually done (for the mass deletes and auto restoring) and a simple "click here if this is what you really wanted to do" would suffice..

Ooh gestapit..

Wait for the company to realize what's going on. Wait for said company to release a patch to fix a problem that was obviously their fault to begin with. You face can return to it's normal color now. Jumping to conclusions like "SOL" is a bit ridiculous

edit: I'll gladly take a downvote for this, you're talking about screaming at customer support and IM getting downvoted. Constructive group we have here.

Officially out of luck? I've read in multiple places they are looking into it and will release a patch

>It's definitely nowhere near as annoying as intellisense randomly breaking and putting a red line underneath half your statements.

I feel your paIEnumerable

http://goo.gl/b1dXA Seems to suggest slightly otherwise, I remember seeing it on a commercial and just going slack jawed...WHAT?

Well, if they want to stay with the ! theme how about something along the lines of !AnotherStagnantProductFailure

I'll take my "more clever", and head back to the 1800s I suppose.

? It is related to the topic. Maybe not specifically the article but the website in question that was linked. I thought it was a pretty odd choice, and website design is definitely relevant to HN

Interesting, one question though. Who thought orange text on white background was a good idea? Ow

Boom. That right there pretty much ended any defense the CEO had. HN has countless submissions focusing on site layout/design/user interaction/click rate/etc

If you wanted the user to be able to see the message or cared that they did, you would have made it more obvious what was going on here.

then the point of having the hotline number is voided then aswell.

(Facet)nating.. The things you learn from just casually browsing HN

>"Daddy, why does that kid look all beat up"

Im pretty sure its explained in the ad: "If someone hurts you, phone us"

I agree it could cause some confusion but how many kids are going to ask their parents after reading the ad? We obviously can't know for sure but I feel like the ad conveys enough information to the point that "this kid was hurt by someone, if this is happening to you call us, we can help"

Same here, Jagex's client and private servers are what I cut my teeth on when it came to programming. My entire fascination with programing evolved from runescape. Hacking, cheating, and modding it.

From the wikipedia page; "The Qilin... is said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a wise sage or an illustrious ruler." and by doing this, Canicol is bringing Linux to the masses of a country. Ironic.

If anything this entire situation made me realize how something as seemingly benign as using your smartphone can result in such rampant chaos. 'Oh the times they are a changin...' Note: Im not in support of either side here, just stating an opinion

"I shouldn't be notified by someone who know we're using Sendgrid and happen to read HN."

Was what I was replying to, not insinuating the fact that SendGrid's website going down is a "PR Slide"

Aaand the PR slide for SendGrid continues. Perfectly valid point though.

It seems that Adria's personal blog is having similar problems..

Right, the focus bit was more or less aimed at Netflix.. management I suppose? So something like "stop deciding we need social features implemented and perhaps use said time and effort towards getting more distribution deals signed"

I was legitimately upset when I wrote that comment and not thinking the clearest hah

Exactly this ^ I think of watching TV as more of an antisocial activity for me.

NO, NO, NO! My response on reading the article title. Why the hell does everything have to be socially linked now a days? If I really want my friends to watch something I recently discovered on Netflix or whatever, I'll tell them about it. Not spam their facebook wall.

Focus more on getting more recent titles on instant stream and less on how I can spam your website to my friends, who already all are using it heavily anyway.

Yeah I thought that was interesting as-well...personally I'm waiting for results from the solitaire benchmark

Spotify up on the front page of HN 2 days in a row now..and for all the wrong reasons. Hah

Wow this is really interesting. I read the title and honestly didn't know what to expect from the article when I clicked on it. My mind was wandering towards some kinda sci-fi setup or something.

Hooray cultural ignorance! The more you know.

This. Under no impression from the Spotify website (although Im sure its buried in the T&C somewhere), or from what people say about it via word of mouth etc etc..what the application is MARKETED as; that it streams music to you for your listening expereince.

All "well p2p saves them server cost, reduces latency etc" bullshit aside. No-one EXPECTS that of the application. Its deception. Plain and simple. A vast amount of users don't expect this of the application and that could lead to plenty of consequences unbeknownst to them. Plenty of good reasons have popped up in this thread (data plans being eaten, people with limits imposed by their ISP, work environment concerns)

TL;DR Its negligent of spotify to market for one thing, and then include something like this in such a hidden and unmodifiable sort of way in their program. You want it in there? Fine. Tell me about it up front and give me some control over the upload speed

"Oh hey Spotify, sure use ALL my upload bandwidth" Hah.. c:

Apologies for that, this is my first submission to HN

Well I like to use Spotify for music to listen to while I game..which you know, when I thought the application just streamed I figured wouldnt have much an impact on the game.

Im not saying using p2p in spotify is bad, I just want it to be more obvious and at least a way to control its max upload rate in the program itself. The fact that people need to download a 3rd party app to limit spotify from swamping their internet connection is stupid.
