I’ve frequently found the HN comments to be more valuable than reading than the articles themselves - the context & community that’s being nurtured here is (emoji sparkles) ;)

Aww. I guess let me know when you're open in the UK.

I don't really think answer #2 is aimed at lurkers, but rather people who contribute edits for their own gain rather than to be helpful.
No need to get upset, move along.

It's a joke. The recently released dungeon keeper is a ridiculously pay-or-wait game. See the escapist article on the same: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/rev...

The Swedish Pirate Party definitely campaigns heavily on those issues, and less on "sharing culture". It took a few years for them to get through that phase.
I guess the UK Pirate Party is in need of more members who care about these issues?

According to Tim Rogers[1] in-app purchases are already being regulated in Japan. As far as I understand it there must be a finite number of purchases, leading to a "maximum spend" per title, which can be shown in-store.
Not sure how this ties in with that, but it seems several companies are also self-regulating by imposing a spending-limit based on the customers age[2].

We did something similar and actually ended up finding a confusing hotspot. Turned out to be a ledge where people could clip through a fence and fall to their deaths.

I usually recommend supergenpass to friends for this particular reason.
Some prefer stuff like keepass that let's them store everything - i'm happier to rely on an algorithm.
Key point is to make using different passwords in different places really simple, so that people do it.

It seems like a Wii U -like device would be a great match for Windows 8. Or just a desktop-tablet combo, working together seamlessly.

Similar thing happened to a friend of mine who worked at a game development startup. A company was set up for that game, and the whole crew of developers were hired by it, while the two "founders" held the parent company. Everyone worked for low-to-no wages under the promise that they would see bonuses based on sales.
When the game released, all the sales revenue went to the parent company and the only ones receiving bonuses were the two founders.

Yep, looks like he stopped doing inline (on-page?) references to sources past slide 13. The last page has a collection of sources, but no direct connection to the statements in the slides.
Edit: In the comments on the post there's a bit more information, not sure if the slides were ever updated:

Appreciate the comments on the data. I'll update this presentation so that the data sources are more clearly presented. Currently, many (though not all) of the numbers are in the reference articles (but that seems to be hard to parse)

There is some data from the games industry, which I would say applies to knowledge workers: http://www.lostgarden.com/2008/09/rules-of-productivity-pres... (blog post from 2008 with linked presentation pdf/ppt)

You really should test both, HTTP can't be trusted if DNS has been compromised.

I recall pg initiating a discussion highlighting the declining quality (S/N) of comments at HN, and struggling to find a scalable approach of tackling it. Afaik slashdots approach has been published and works for them, so maybe that would be a good place to start looking?

This just reads like any contemporary "fashion" writing to me. You see it in those magazines with a model on the cover and stories about if he's really that into you inside. I think you summed it up pretty well, but I don't think it's got very much to do with the subject matter.
