I'm in the process of scanning the family's old film, photos, and converting VHS tapes. I'll save all the original scans, and digital video into a folder which will now become the new originals (old ones still kept and boxed

What is this, a guessing game? If you don't want to answer the question, please let us know instead of giving vague answers.

How is it practical? It's a beautiful design, but far simpler designs can run circles around it in every scenario I can imagine. A small version might make for a fun desk toy. When I think practical, I think Boston Dynamics. https:&#x

I'm curious to see what happens as our age group gets older. Right now few focus on developing applications, games or social networks for elderly individuals, since there isn't a big audience. As we age, I think we'll see a l

Are comments ever deleted or hidden from view completely? I've been reading HN for a year or two, and I've never noticed an issue with comment quality. In topics with a larger number of comments, you get one or two heavily downvot

The gym has one main advantage, you invested time to get there. When I had a gym in my apartment building, I'd put on my gym clothes, go down there, and workout for an hour without a problem. Once I was there, I had no trouble staying.

Agreed, cheap labor isn't hard to find, and there are countless people that would answer captchas all day long for a few dollars. How many captchas could you answer in a day? Let's say you work 8 hours, and answer one every 20 sec

Why would you say unable to launch isn't a fair assessment? If you had a functional and useful alpha over 2 years ago, and 1.0 isn't released, I'd say that's spot on. You're going to be in for nearly 3 years, $100k

Crowdfunding web applications? Is this becoming a new thing? Send us 100k, and we'll finish our beta application, and give you rewards, like your name in the code, or for $500, you can have a coffee with us on video chat. Or for $25,00

Agreed. I had the pleasure of calling CRA last month to sort out a problem. I spent an afternoon trying to piece together all these letters, payments, refunds, etc, and what exactly went wrong. Anyway, I call, and it was the closest thing t

Ah, interesting. It looks like they sell a grinder to chop up your old parts, and then the extruder melts them into a filament.

Is there anything on the market to melt your printed parts or toys, to create a new spool of plastic for printing? In short, some type of recycling process you could do at home.

Why is it difficult? I run a medium size website, with a custom threaded comment system. It receives 30,000 new comments a day on average. There has been zero issues, it's a simple comment table in the database with an index, and some

Agreed, it looks like a JS library, or a new domain extension.

Cold turkey and uninstalling works well. In my case, anytime I wanted to game, I'd get a prompt that the 10gb download would take 12 or 24 hours to reinstall. I was looking to game that instant, not tomorrow, so I wouldn't bother

Yep, that demo works fine. Firefox/Chrome, Windows 8.1, Intel HD 4000.

Anyone else running into blurring issues? I tested it out on Firefox and Chrome, and in both browsers the face texture is a blur. The high resolution only appears when I have the browser scaled horizontally small enough to cut off half of t

What do you guys think of the changes to Humble Bundle in the last year? They have a lot of additions, with not only occasional bundles, but now weekly sales, and their store. Do you think it's for the best, offering more sales and dea

Agreed, they just keep showing this plastic rectangle, with a flat strip of carbon fiber sandwiched in the middle for reinforcement. Wonderful, but is that the limitations of this machine? https://markforged.com/wp-content&#

Nope, I'm fairly confident in my ability to direct the site in the right direction, and to handle the development side of things. 1. I do have volunteers that assist with support. The app brings in roughly 50,000 support tickets a year

One. I have enough work for 4 or 5 people, but I prefer to keep going solo. It slows growth a bit, but I don't have the headaches of managing employees, and it allows for more freedom in my daily schedule.

I spent a year or two building out the app, growing the user base, and adding new features. After that, my focus redirected to improving server performance with the growing traffic, handling support for users, refactoring code, managing adv

This is the wrong approach, and it's going to help deteriorate an already small community. 1. HN doesn't have an issue with comment quality. 2. HN should be concerned about growing the community, and increasing comments. A lot of

Keep in mind if the price lowered, domain squatters would increase. I kind of wish domains were more expensive, so companies wouldn't sit on half of a million domains. They just mark them all at $1,000+, so they still make a profit if

Why does everyone go crazy about the timex weekender? Am I the only person that thinks it looks like a dollar store watch for children?

The LG watch looks more like an iPhone strapped to your wrist than a watch. http://i.imgur.com/yP1Qpa9.png I was kind of excited after viewing the Motorola page, but after the videos, I'm disappointed. I don't wan

You have to consider whether or not someone with access to that data would want to reveal it exists. If the US says they located the plane in the ocean, in a location that no one expected, everyone will be wondering how they came to that co

What about from a security standpoint? How safe are these web applications, and how confident can I be they're not logging audio or video from my calls? I'm not talking about government intelligence security, I'm talking abou
