I deadlifted 425 ... ... ... yup that's about it [edit] actually in hindsight I've spent a lot more time with my 9yr old daughter than I have since the birth of our son. Pokemon Go turned out to be a pretty big player in us spendi

When I signed for prime 3-4 years ago there was also a lot online retailers jerking around on shipping prices. "Oh that CD is $0.01 but it is $11.99 shipping, so if you don't like it then you'll be refunded the purchase price

I have a newspaper clipping from when a car hit me when I was 5 years old... the dark truth of the matter was I hit the car by bolting across the road and smacking my head into the passenger side door as it was trying to drive through an

I wish we would kill flash by providing a stronger solution. Does any application exist today that can replicate the functionality of even Flash MX (now 11 years old) in HTML5? An actual application that could be given to non-developers a

If it had enough torque (which seems to be a problem given the plastic nature) I could see it breaking loose rusted or stubborn bolts. Maybe? In a scenario like that you wouldn't really care about precision or sound. Though 11 million

Getting the admin-interface correct is one of those holy grails. The problem I typically run into is adding complex wizards or features outside of the standard crud stack. When I'm investigating an out of the box admin interface I&#x27

Oh totally, draft would be fine, but even the idea of playing something randomly generated like this would be pretty fun.

This is a very interesting idea. I'd like to see it played with 100% of the cards being generated through a system like this. 4 players, 4 automated decks of random (possibly nonsensical cards), that would be _so much fun_!

Serious question: Is this significantly different from all the similar-themed articles in the 90's and 80's? It seems like the more things change the more they stay the same... https://news.google.com/newspapers?ni

I'm not a fan of thread-splitting but that'd be one option (Ask HN: Who's hiring directly). Otherwise what about people add tags like [Direct] or [Hiring Manager] to their posts:?

I can only speak to MtG when it first came out, I've been out of the loop since eh since when 4th edition started or so. MtG exploded because it was (and I hate to use this term): hackable. You could build creative exploits into the ga

Great idea! I understand there are only seven options (hence the name) but I'd suggest adding a music playlist as an item. It's easy to describe and would cover multiple GUI elements: button groups (forward,back,start,pause), disp

I think it's an interesting approach. There are some things you can do with a projector that you couldn't do with another screen ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9JXtTj0mzE ) I could see some applications taking ad

Yeah it's the pro but the con (IMO) is that if you're the last active contributor then it has effectively become a custom framework... which nobody likes to support.

I think you should show the comments first without a time-limit and then allow the user to play. For example: /* * @Input1: an integer * @Input2: an integer (@Input1 <= @Input2) * @Input3: an int

Great idea, have you informed your local makerspaces? They might be able to set up a competition. http://pumpingstationone.org/ <-- Here's one, though I've never been there.

This is very interesting. This is one of the few actual disruptions that I've seen in the interviewing/hiring space. One small issue: I don't know what I'm getting into when I join the waiting list. I understand what the

Yea I agree, since it's online for free I think it'd be better if they went the HumbleBundle route and allowed users to enter in a price.
