Also an Australian, Costco is also a single location here, 20km away. My house travels out there once every ~3 months for everything and spend ~$500 The only things we really buy from the supermarket are week to week things like meat etc.

I work for an Australian Bank. We had an internal competition where they didn't sanitise the data for this competition well enough. After a week of analysing the data one of the people in competing in the competition knew who's data we were

I would agree with that for the most part, however, if you're receiving a large sum of money (e.g. the $8 million dollars Ouya received as mentioned in the article received) I think you owe it to your investors to take the time to set up th

Sorry, I'm not usually a pain with comparisons but comparing "Super Bass: 268M views in a year; Khan Academy: 175M views in 5 years" is illogical as Super Bass, from my quick Googling is around a song lasting 2m30s to Khan Academy which pro

The economies of scale are crazy as well. the US government spends $100 million on sensors yet the catels stand to make (if you can believe the figures) "$16 million wholesale" for one shipment of cocaine via this method. The drug cartels s

I had a similar user experience with iOS (I admit I bailed out of the ecosystem at the 3GS but it hasn't changed substantially since then). You're correct with everything you say, however, I feel that while you should always cater for the l

Not sure if I agree with your "beautiful and usable" comment, there's a very good reason for design iteration. Check out some geocities sites from a while ago for some 'usable' websites. Personally I feel like the UI of iOS is very aged, re

Sorry, is it out, or is it part of another App? I attempted to look for it on the Play Store this morning but I could not see it.

Seems like a cool idea, I watched the video but it hasn't convinced me why gimme bar is better than my current bookmark system in Chrome with folders etc. to be honest, I quite like my bookmark bar at the top All the video did was told me t

Surely it's simple enough to create a google account that's only used for youtube? We do it on our server at home.

But while things like technologies change quite quickly I would argue that the methodologies that sit around these technologies develop a lot slower. Also while I understand that this is technology site there are many skills today that don'

When I first heard about this, I heard they anonymized their payments through bitcoins. PayPal seems a bit of a move to widen their market

I believe they were using bitcoins to anonymize some transactions. The hardest thing for a regular consumer I would think would be finding a drop point. Drugs and things sent through the mail would be fairly easy to track to a consumer who

But then if you're in a discussion with someone and say thanks to them at the end wouldn't it annoy you when it closed the menu item you were in? I think they're trying to ensure the phrases don't cross over with regularly used phrases

This is all speculation. Possibly because they treat it as an extra curriculum activity And as such: a) Perhaps the lecturers teach in their spare time because they enjoy the activity. b) It's a fairly specific skill set that would mean hir

He's edited it again, UPDATE 2: OK, what I’m hearing now is that Places still uses Google Maps, but the maps in Journals and slideshows are not using Google Maps, and are Apple’s own stuff http://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/03/07/iphoto

I'm not a regular napper, but whenever I've napped in a busy office, the best approach I've found is to head out to a park, find a shady spot and lie down. Take a towel so you don't get dirty or itchy Options here are obviously, book a meet

I'm highly upset at this comment. I didn't realise hn had become downertown. Many people enjoy this website and just because someone tried to add wind into someone else's sails don't mean it's your job to tell them to stop inventing and dre

You're confusing me, I opened this thread amazed someone could raise 1 billion. Now I'm quite happy that M = 1,000 and m = 1,000,000, and you're throwing me off with $1mm now.

Interesting article, however it seems to suggest that these 'Smart and social' people are not on equal footing when it comes to intelligence as the 'Smart and not social'. However your box graph suggests they are. The points you make a good

This comment confuses me? It resets at 5pm, to an hour chosen randomly by dice roll? EDIT: Not sure why I can't reply to your other comment but: > its a simple timer that counts down to 5pm of the following day If it's counting down to
