He's asking if he can hire H1B holders _only_, I think.

I recently tried to go the AMD/Ryzen route. I like an underdog comeback story as much as the next guy.

But be warned: Motherboards that "support" Ryzen do not in fact support Ryzen out of the box. You have to update the BIOS to support Ryzen. How do you POST without a CPU you ask? Who knows? Magic, possibly.

I still don't understand how AMD expects their customers to have more than one CPU (and possibly DDR4-2133 sticks) to be able to POST and update the BIOS.

I returned everything AMD and went back to safe, good ole Intel. Worked on first try. I'm never getting sucked into AMD hype again.

Also, when I went back to return the AMD components to Fry's, the manager said they were aware/used to getting Ryzen returns because of this.

I thought it was funny, kudos to him. I thought it might even motivate someone else to start their own private list. Public things are rarely easy to regulate for quality.

Getting this: Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.

I think the potential here is immense.

Boxfish, twitter, YouTube, Siri, and now with Ray Kurzweil @ Google... thinkers are converging on doing to every other form of content what Google did for structured documents.

The NLP trend is going to be amusing to watch at least (Siri, Summly), and whether its time has come in the next 5 years or not I'm not certain. But I know Ray Kurzweil knows this technology is inevitable.

As for BoxFish, I think this is a good example of a neatly executed, well funded startup with experienced founders and a solid space. No drama, no demo day, no immediate fires to put out, cool $3m in the bank, Deutsche Telekom AG subsidiary negotiating their deals for them, and "Yahoo just bought a kids startup for 17m" - the topic is hotter than others. This is the type of startup I for one daydream of having stock of or working at. Has high potential to be worth $mmms or $bn in the future - you know, that all depends and what not. But the makings are clearly there. Excellent work guys! Congratulations.

I think almost every active user has something they want from GitHub, so I thought I'd get this off my chest in the comments:

Personally, I use Issues a lot, and if it would be great to be able to upload any file related to that issue.

I understand how that could be costly, and you might not want to push such a potentially complicated feature onto your 3.4m.

So:

- Let the majority use your free (meaning no-extra-costs) storage with current limitations.

- Add a tab under the repo settings labeled 'File Storage'

- Under Repo X > Settings > File Storage, let me use my own S3 key/bucket pair for that repository's Issues files.

(Example: PSD, .zip/.rar/.tar/.bz2, etc related to the project.)

Thanks for listening.

Short term: wants a meeting, and this should probably do the trick. Long term: doesn't want get killed, prefers to partner with Twitter and sustain a lesser profit margin for a longer period of time.

I say a slow clap is in order here, no matter what his true intentions are, only if for being so focused on what he wants from Twitter Inc.

You're right, I actually have it installed too, I should've just done that and moved on. This particular blog with the patterned/hypnotic background really hurt my eyes in the morning, and I guess I was cranky enough to take it as an insult :)

Didn't read your rant since it was impossible for my human eyes. I may bill (!) you for the temporary loss of productivity. Your BG and color scheme are horrible, I would rather blend and drink my left foot than read your blog again.

The arguments above are more about HN as a community (and how it self-regulates/self-analyzes, its values) than your achievement. The fact that you've completed this game is still amazing to us all, that remains unchanged whether you were 14, 24 or 34. My only hope is that you get to focus from your age and keep building on your talent. Great job.

Only if there was a way to set Google Maps as the default map/address-finding app. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

Right now, touching any addresses you have saved under a contact will open up Apple's Maps app.

Suspiciously, this auto-resizing action is not available on apple.com, but only apple.co.uk.
