This. I am continually amazed at how few people use Audible. It is an amazing and rich source for books recorded in very high quality (read by voice talents, no stops during audio). I finish a book every 2-3 weeks just by listening on my wa

the tech is great & the product is very cool, no arguments. as a a photographer myself, i'm wondering why people actually buy this though? how many photos do people take that they wish they could refocus later?

The problem with this approach is that I would not want to auto-reply to every message, particularly not group lists or important people who expect their stuff to be read on time. I think smokesignal is a lot more subtle.

May I say I jumped at the excitement of seeing vanityfair.com as the source of one of the top 20 articles on HN?

Have you tried fizy.com? You can make playlists of songs from grooveshark, youtube (and possibly more, I haven't tried other sites). I'm not involved in any way with fizy.com, just love the site.

anybody know why spotify is mentioned so much more than grooveshark?

I actually think it's politer and more agreeable to use the asterisk. It's akin to presenting a photo of a bare-chest woman with the nipples striked-out with a black line. Everybody knows what is there, but it makes the picture a lot more a

I am a photographer and I know I'd hate this feature. It makes street photography a lot more difficult. I assume by sexual misconduct you mean someone taking pictures in the bedroom (as opposed to photographing women at the beach, which is

That's a really inviting email, I love it! Feels much more welcoming than info@ etc.

^Same here, I have taken countless tests using imaginary numbers, but it never went beyond a really pointless exercise in my mind. Now I get it.

IMHO, there should be some description/screenshots before asking a person to do fb-login.

on a tangential note - "This was not the easiest thing in the world for me to sign myself up for, seeing as how I usually tend to avoid going places where there are likely to be people (not a big fan). However, somewhat bizarrely, I do enjo

Yesss, finally I'll be able to get off Facebook! Even though I use Facebook lists, circles seems a lot simpler and functional. For me, photos, and comments and discussions generated off photos is really important, so I need a social network

Great tool all these years, thank you.

Thanks for posting, but I don't understand something. Are these... important people? I've searched for a few president names and none seem to appear. I've also searched a few names on the list and couldn't really understand who they are.

I just don't understand why police officers are so antagonistic towards photographers. Even if they are thinking from a purely "I don't want my mistakes to be caught" point of view, aren't they aware that arresting people in their full lega

I am with you all about all the negative reasons why not to like GoDaddy and Bob Parsons. Just looking at the guy and his macho-posters I really do not feel like I would even want to hold a 5-minute conversation with him. It reeks of BS. Th

While it would reduce "fishing expeditions", it would make me feel less secure in the legal system, because I might be afraid of the financial risk to sue someone.

"foreign born citizens that worked hard through the system to get citizenship have a little to be annoyed about" I'm from this group and I am annoyed. Yes, it sucks that being born on the right side of an imaginary line determines many of y

How is he cheating me? His family "cut the line" in building a life in the US, one of the best nations to be in, in the eyes of many on this planet. His chances of winning a Pulitzer would be severely diminished if his family had stayed in

Exactly. Paying taxes does not make the situation fair. All his life he has "filled a spot" of an opportunity that would have otherwise been available to someone else. His achievements ("the end") do not justify the means.

If a person's answer to this question is "no, I'd stay, even after I realize that I am breaking the laws of the country", I don't know how that person can expect sympathy after being busted (or "coming out").

May I learn the reason of the down-vote? I am answering to the issue of the fairness of citizenship-by-birth raised in the parent. I draw a distinction between entrenched inequality in world order and the more amenable inequalities.

by fastfinner 15y ago
Exactly. Many, many laws were broken to get this person in and let him stay in the US. I don't see how "feeling like an American" justifies all that.

"Kicking out the people who are already in the country doesn't achieve anything other than waste more money and ruin more lives." It achieves fairness about who gets in. Rules may need to be revised, etc. No arguments here. But while the re

Oh on a philosophical level it is quite unfair. It's not fair at all that all humans are not regarded as equals. It's really unfair that I should be withheld from visiting or living on a piece of the planet because there happens the be a gr
