I think the difference is sales tax was paid when the toys were purchased. I don't think Regretsy was claimin to add value. They were just organizing a donation of toys. It's just like a bunch of friends getting together, all giving two dol

Being such a skilled programmer, one would think he could get a loan for a measly 10k and be able to easily pay it back with the kind of salaries we're paid these days...

At some level I'm sure they are reading them, but it gives everyone involved in your communication a central place to track your issue. Always, always, always file a radar and let your DTS/WWDR rep know the bug number.

You should really post your bug number. You did file a radar, right? Bugreport.apple.com...

How does a machine taking advantage of small arbitrage opportunities that last fractions of a second represent an "investors assessment of economic conditions"?

That was easily the most misinformed article I have ever read on tc. I'm not even sure where to begin. About the only thing that is right is that services will be moving to the application layer in the long run because there are benefits th

This is super old news. Why isn't this modded off the front page?

In the time it took to act smart you could have just read the code and seen that his intuition was mostly right. The code is extremely simple. It reads like a half day project just for fun that happened to get picked up on HN. It doesn't se

To be fair, my first cell phone only displayed one line of text which was only numbers, didn't have a phone book, had terrible call quality, in addition to all the listed missing features. So the Kin is actually a great phone. Should have s

I'm not sure why people are so offended by what Facebook has done. They've just made the information people made publicly available already easy to parse for computers. Full disclosure: I had no way to prepare for Facebook's new features

Yes, why is HN driving traffic to an ad?

BTW, I know this idea is kind of out of left field but its the first thing I thought when I saw the box. It really looks like it would be a pleasure to take a shower in it while being in the garden.

I think this would be so much better and useful if it was a solar powered shower that sat in your garden. It could catch rain water when available and use tap water (from the hose) otherwise. It's pretty simple to stick a water tank in a so

I tried a low res and high res picture of some Gill Sans here and it failed too. And they have Gill Sans in their db. The results list had fonts that were kind of close but different in some significant ways.

I ran through it providing answers for Gill Sans and I got back 30 possible fonts. Gil Sans was near the bottom. I guess this is pretty useful if you're working from a picture of something.

There are only 10 questions, you can't review your questions before final submission of the test, some of the questions are pretty silly, and some of the terminology is questionable. I think these kinds of "standardized" tests only make sen

BUG ALERT! The contact sync feature has an option to replace your existing photos in your contacts and is disabled by default. Unfortunately, it seems to have gone ahead and replaced many of the photos I have set for contacts. It hasn't d

"if you can’t get fired for missing a deadline then you aren’t a real programmer working in the real world" I thought the essay was pretty good until I hit that line. I feel like mastering something kind of requires rising above the daily g

I like the idea but it could use a little sprucing up to become actionable: 1) Let me enter conversation topics. Or just ice breaker topics. In my head the table headings would read: Hi, I'm | @ | on | for | interested in |. Interested in w

the app looks great. as a hiker the topo maps excited me more than anything else. paper maps are expensive! only other thing is i wonder why you don't use mapkit for regular maps instead of another map source. with mapkit you get the same g

That's pretty much right. I'd call it de-glorified if anything since you can't do anything after you "pick" a color. But the only other free alternative to this app was to take photos of stuff, somehow (email, iPhone sync, etc) get them on
