The size of this discussion and the sheer number of different ways this can be done is mind boggling. I'm all for having choices and I'm glad we're beyond choosing between FrontPage, Dreamweaver, and Notepad, but no wonder ne

Maybe she means all that info was exposed in the court case? That's exactly the sort of "true but out of context" thing a tabloid like this site would use.

I feel like number of comments should carry more weight than upvotes. Then upvoted comments could weigh the entire story up further too, pushing quality discussion over a simple upvote click.

What will replace phones that soon? Are you referring to smart watches and wearable tech? Wont we still use a phone as a primary device to tie it all together?

Ask HN: What should we call phones as they stop being used as phones?

I absolutely love exploring all the food and coffee around Melbourne and I can't even remember the last one that didn't take PayPass. Even the market stalls and coffee carts have an MPOS or CBA tablet. Maybe a couple of super hips

I haven't carried cash or wallet for about a year now. All I use is my phone (CommBank app, which uses PayPass network). Whether it's a coffee, snack for my kid, weekly shopping or a night out, I can barely even remember the times

What do they do with the data? Is it just for law enforcement to find people, or is there value in the data?

I think "censor" is the word OP is looking for, not "anonymise".

It's a beta. You're helping them test it, so them collecting usage/statistics is completely fair. If you don't want to take part in the beta testing, don't install the beta and wait for the full release (which the c

Exactly why I use Dropbox instead of Google Drive, my bank's Paywave app over Apple/Google Pay, Todoist over Google Tasks, and even Firefox over Chrome (because of bookmarks sync, addons sync, form fields, etc). I can't split

Tech names have lost the plot. We really really need to get past this "Pick a really common English word and name your brand that, so it's impossible to search for and confuses people when discussed" thing.

It's nowhere near as good as Picasa or Lightroom for bulk editing, sharing, and general photo library management. But it absolutely destroys Picasa for the actual editing of raw files. I'd say if post processing is your focus, it&

We've used a Japanese multi cooker for years. Tiger brand. Does rice, steaming, slow cooked stews and soups, even cakes and yoghurt. I'm very surprised at everyone talking as though the Instant Pot invented it.

The last big Windows 10 update I did the other day completely reset me installation to stock. Wiped all my drivers including GPU, all my settings, reinstalled everything I'd tweaked over the months/years, the works. I've been

Discord has absolutely replaced AIM/MSN/ICQ/IRC for my friends. Everyone I care to chat to uses it, and has it on all their devices, including phone, as our primary messenger. My circle of friends is admittedly nearly entirel

I'd love an e-ink dashboard in my car so it's not so glary, e-ink tablet that does a bit more than a Kindle but isn't a full media player (super thin super light with basic browser for wiki, news, rss, and email), ~20" e

You choose to sign up for email updates then. WordPress doesn't do it by itself. WordPress also has RSS still.

I consider myself pretty tech-savvy, but I'm still completely lost as to whether Bitcoin is basically a pyramid scheme set to crash massively, or something huge that will continue climbing. I probably should've taken the time to m

Facebook themselves require you to log in to unsubscribe from emails. If you've disabled or deleted your account, you still get spammed daily, and there's quite literally zero way to unsubscribe.

I do too, and I've always wanted Winamp on Android. Just a full screen remake of the basic Winamp window. Wonder if this could be ported now with one of the JS->APK tools.

This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen. The effort and time and collection of talented people required to do this is just awesome. All thanks to the universal love of Tetris.
