I feel compelled to add my own geometric art for the shake of completion since it seems like a hobby from a few of us HNers:

I have to login and comment to express my disappointment with the bad reviews this movie has always gotten.

Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 56%, which is really sad. Here are two of the negative reviews.

Corliss:

   Most sci-fi movies offer escape, a holiday from homework, but Dune is as difficult as a final exam. You have to cram for it.

Ebert:

   This movie is a real mess, an incomprehensible, ugly, unstructured, pointless excursion into the murkier realms of one of the most confusing screenplays of all time.

This movie is Lynch interpretation of a very complex book and he did so while still being faithful to its uniqueness. He gave us visual aesthetics that are very different from our standard views of space travel (ie: arabesque spaceships and gothic outfits) and didn't skip over the less popular concepts of mind evolution present in the book

What can I say? This movie deserves more recognition than a 56% score.

Interesting that DeSoto fails to mention why people seek out Uber. Kim seems to be focused on the medallions pricing structure completely ignoring user advantages such as ease of access through the app, reliable service, quality, etc, etc.

If cab companies don't realize that new services beat them to the punch in many areas besides pricing they won't survive.

Pages are generated on Github servers. As somebody mentioned you can run Jekyll locally to preview the rendered pages or simply push to github and review online.

My understanding is that traffic above 10M users will not be tracked by the free version of GA, but the service will continue working and recording visits. What 4chan will lose is information of all users above 10M, but will retain access to all the data.

I believe these emails from Google are phrased ambiguously to force upgrades.

I disagree.

Here's a comparison of the interest of the public in Bitcoin and Myspace. Now consider the value of Myspace in the present and the value of Bitcoin in the future: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=bitcoin%2C%20myspace&...

There's no telling what will happen to bitcoins, but my point is, interest is no sign of value. Now if I could invest in cats, that would be a different story.

I see many valid points in your argument but at the same time I find myself more and more wanting to offload the responsibility of maintaining my tools to a 3rd party. The more online/subscription services I use the happier I am because I don't have to spend time installing and upgrading tools, archiving content, etc.

Some content I don't want to own (music, books, etc), some cloud services are open source (so they can live well beyond their creators) and some other services combine local and remote access (eg. github). As much as I want full control, I also want options.

This has the potential of being a serious competitor to Paypal. Amazon is on a roll.

This is the kind of behavior current political systems are encouraging to the members of our society. Instead of teachers reaching out to students to create bonds and personal connections, we have a system that promotes unjustified surveillance, profiling and reporting.

Doesn't sound like the kind of teacher I'd like in my university

Asked what had first inclined him to contact the police, Mr. Szemalikowski said “the fact that Kinnan has mentioned the ideologies of anarchism and individualism on this blog.” Digging himself even deeper, the headteacher added, “I must do something. In the last year he has become more and more enchanted by antiestablishment ways of thinking and has even said that there is an inherent risk that every government is corrupt.”

I'd suggest you invest in a hosted git repo.
