They have a self-titled TV show on HBO/Showtime. I am assuming that's considered non-digital media.

Fonts disappearing is not a big issue that will ultimately render your page useless. If the font is gone, the look of the page is slightly affected, but the content of the page remains. It's honestly not a big deal at all.

It's possible now, that this information has gone mainstream, programmers worry about how their non-tech friends view them for working there.

I didn't see it mentioned in the article, but did any of the 3 companies confirm that the repos have been actually cloned as the attackers suggest?

That would mean they are blocking all S3 buckets indiscriminately.

Steam allows you to sell your game and provide players with steam keys from your own website without taking any cut. So that 30% cut that steam takes gets diluted quite a bit.

Epic does not allow for that level of distribution. It also doesn’t seem like they will.

Your argument about walled gardens also falls apart as soon as you realize that Epic is pushing for exclusivity.

This comment is very misinformed on so many fronts. I am glad people with more HN points are downvoting this, because I am not really able to.

Amazon’s strength is their logistics network. Any co-op you’ve just described will have an incredibly difficult time competing on shipping prices and speed of delivery.

Although I am sure your intentions are pure, he raises a valid point. I think you'd benefit from making it apparent that "we won't steal or squat you name" somewhere on the landing page.

I think it's a fantastic idea, keep up the good work.

I think the 2 video cameras and several SIM cards is what seems odd about this combo.

The important part is the "...regardless of their qualifications". There is nothing wrong with hiring friends, or family as long as the person is qualified. OP didn't mention anything about qualifications, so I think it's a bit early to jump the gun and proclaim Nepotism.

In reality it's very common to get a job because a friend or a family member referred you.

If I understand correctly, the only way to sign up is to use either Facebook or Google? There's is no way to just create a standalone account?

  I don't use Uber over taxis simply because I can get the exact same service from a taxi

That's just not true.

Just off the top of my head:

* 3-4 clicks and I have an Uber on its way vs. Having to talk to a dispatcher. Time saved.

* I know ahead of time how much the fair will be vs. at the end of the ride.

* I simply get out of the car once I reach my destination. I don't have to deal with paying, calculating tip, etc...

* Uber cars tend to be newer and in much better condition.

Now, I am not advocating for Uber, but lets not kid ourselves that the two experiences are even comparable from the customer's point of view.

From reading his comment it seems like his primary concern is the issue of trust. He goes on, "Not just talking about their API...". So I think the features he is referring to are user facing features, not API features.

You are taking that quote out of context. The full quote:

  "Working at Palm, the teams were highly organizational, [hierarchical] and responsibilities were siloed," Burrough said.
  "There was a clear sense that each person had a clear responsibility, and rarely deviated from it.
  When you went to someone for help solving a problem 'not my job' was a common response."

He is clearly talking about his previous experience at Palm.
