I believe his point was that you don't trust them enough to install their normal app, so you wouldn't be expected to install Facebook Home.

However, someone who has already installed the normal app doesn't need much more trust to add Home as well.

I'm impressed by how well the response was written. Every sentence seemed to be written in a very unambiguous way. The phrasing may have been awkward, but was very appropriate for a Korean audience.

You can actually still use a GUI editor with cloud-based development.

The majority of my code is stored on a Linode server. I use SSHFS to mount my working folder and edit in whatever editor I like (typically Geany). Connectivity is still an issue, but can be mitigated by tweaking the cache timeout.

This is very good advice. It's surprising how many people are adverse to short term loans in otherwise financially stable situations.

Many people fall into the two extremes: they either borrow too much, or they are so afraid of debt that they never borrow at all. People on HN are a bit more paranoid and tend to be the latter.

While I agree that "fake democracy" is a bit over the top, I also can't see how he "hacked into AT&T". There might be enough room to dicker over whether searching for a vulnerability equates to "hacking," but does anyone really believe Auernheimer did anything illegal by manually typing in an address?

I think I'll wait for the next stable release. I'm sure I'm not the only person terrified of Wireshark's notorious history of vulnerabilities. Personally, I find a mixture tcpdump and custom tools to be an adequate substitute.
