If you go on YouTube you'd think that every other home is going up in flames due to LiPo fires. Not so.

And of course the tools of the trade are not a keyboard, but sharp knives and open flames. So yeah, the "google chef scenario" comment bugged me too.

If obscurity had zero value, we'd just paint the tanks bright pink with hot orange flames and drop all the stealth research too. No need to sneak around.

I do want to hear feedback, flames and all, so finding that comments were off this whole time was disappointing for me too. I assure you I didn't stroll through L3.

I also suspect I should fight so hard as if the illnes is truly terminal I will end sooner in flames, not later. I want all the tubing.

Not because he loves the GNU way, but because he hates counter-productive bickering and would rather write code than feed the flames. Ta-da.

Any PR gurus out there that would comment on the top handful of ways to fan the flames on PR for a story like this? I'd love to understand the process when you've got this ripe of content.

If a car company sells you a car engine that bursts into flames, they're still held liable for damages. They can't just say "Uhmm... The engine may burst into flames, you should buy our next model".

No, don't go trying to direct the flames back at TechCrunch. Ed is consistently one of the nicest damn people on HN, and it's a bit of a shame that he ended up being the example that they pointed to.

First, I think a blog post ending with "bring on the flames" should have comments enabled, otherwise it's not really fair. It comes across as whining without wanting to listen to advice or a response.

There is literally nothing to talk about there except to proffer essentially baseless flames, praise, or speculation. I would have no qualms asking the moderators to fix this.

This was the ideal which provided America's inner light; for all of America's mis-steps, the proclamation of this core ideal fanned the flames of some sort of tendency towards goodness. This ideal is all but gone.

The press in this country are far more interested in reality tv, political infighting, fanning flames about 'immigrants' and what the royals are up to. And I suspect it's because most of the public don't care either.

The fact is that when things are burning down, smoke is everywhere, you can see the flames, etc. it's often too late, the time to take action was minutes or hours ago when you still had a chance.

>> A will and desire awakens to go off, anywhere, at any cost; a vehement dangerous curiosity for an undiscovered world flames and flickers in all its sense.' Better to die than to go living here' - thus responds the imperious voices and temptation; and this 'here', this 'at home' is everything it had hitherto loved!

I saw from the inside a huge multi-mullion dollar Atari-funded game studio go down in flames because the developers didn't know that you can't use disk drives as a CPU: they built almost all of their MMO item inventory logic into SQL triggers and events. Let's not even talk about sexism and anti-social behavior.

The variable here is the other terror, the fires flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. Its not desiring the fall; its terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling Dont! and Hang on! , can understand the jump. Not really. Youd have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.
