Someone should make .jpg file with nice typography saying:"This is an image. Not much to see, but you are starring at it anyway..." - Instant first page of HN :)


Funny thing is that many ORM companies fail at guarding own reputation:

Yet the industry has its own image problem. Even the most prominent player, Reputation.com, which charges $3,000 per year—and often many times that—to police search results for clients can’t entirely cleanse its own profile. The company’s first page of Google results is free of negative content, but when a user types the company name into the search box, Google’s auto-complete feature often suggests “Reputation.com scam” as one of the choices. “To solve this for ourselves is not an option based on the time and money we’d have to put into it,” says Michael Fertik, chief executive officer of the Redwood City (Calif.) company, which is backed by more than $67 million in venture funding. “Sometimes you can move content from page two to page five of Google, but the cost becomes so high that it’s not realistic.” Source: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/fixing-the-reputations-...


Quote from prosecutor's FB according to this blog post: “I’m trying to get home for the past two hours, but I can’t because there’s some protesters blocking off traffic […] please, somebody tell the police that this area is under the jurisdiction of my court and, if any of them kill a protester, I’ll just archive the case”. Scary!


Yep.

I understand this as a humorous remark, no doubt, but there are certain positions of power from which I do not appreciate joking.


It's a little more than just an humorous remark (EDIT: not that I'm assuming he would actually archive the cases); the original text seems much more hateful. The last part of the post is roughly:

Shitty petistas¹. Motherfuckers. (...) I miss the time when this kind of thing was resolved with rubber (sticks) on the backs of the cowards...

¹ Supporters of the Partido Trabalhista, as far as I can tell.


>"there are certain positions of power from which I do not appreciate joking."

Exactly how I feel.

And no way it was a joke, since he used bad words in the original post I haven't translated, which indicates he was really pissed off and writing fluently.


How is it possible for that to be taken as a humorous remark?


There is already discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5923444


In fairness, gpvos bested me by a good 4 minutes!


Also, Yeoman is mentioned twice under Workflow.


Sounds like: We are sorry we got caught.


In the office. Procrastinating... Reading HN :)
