I was very interested in something like this few years back. But, my quick research showed me that (a) A company called Orbiscom (acquired by MasterCard) had patents in this space [1], and they are the ones behind Bank of America's Sho

Can we please have a rule against posting paywall links? I know we can find a cached version or search on Google or whatever, but it's still frustrating! I am not asking for a work-around to access WSJ articles. I'm asking HN to c

I have wanted to use Mixpanel for a while. But your product is very very expensive for a Startup. When we're trying to be frugal, there's no way we can justify spending $150 per month on collecting data on just 5,000 users (where

Surely WF's needs with YUI-fork (or any other similar library) will be limited enough that they'll need to hire just one or two developers. I don't see how they'll need to spend hundreds (or even tens) of millions of dol

IFTTT is at a great spot to bring simple programming & logic to non-programmers who just want to customize how they interact with technology just a little bit. Looks like Yahoo Pipes missed a big opportunity there. However, the IFTTT ho

I've been using Dropbox with EncFS, and I feel foolish about not thinking of the fact that Dropbox has ongoing access to the encrypted files. Would you recommend something other than Dropbox + EncFS as the best compromise for a file-sy

Definitely appreciate this a lot. I am sure he gets it reviewed by a few people who are closer to the metal. This is a great way for him to be on top of all the technology that goes in his extremely technical company. Moreover, him understa

This may be a good place to ask this: Does anyone have experience using Flurry Analytics and Google Mobile App Analytics in production? We're comparing the two, and would love to get opinion from people, who have used them in productio

I tried that (sent them an email), and got an automatic reply that they delete all emails sent in non-work hours. :) I'll send them an email again tomorrow.

Can we run multiple organizations from the same client of Slack? That and an ability to refer to a specific comment/message (like Flowdock's threaded messages) are two things that can make me switch from Hipchat.

He's not saying cars, in absolute terms, have smaller bad effect than bombs. He's saying that the positives vs negatives ratio for cars is more favorable than one for bombs. Considering the entire world economy will essentially st

I (barely) evaluated some cloud IDEs few weeks back and I felt Cloud9 and Nitrous.IO were far superior to Codio or other IDEs. So, I'm wondering, what makes you say Codio is the most powerful? In any case, I still don't see enough

I don't know french, but based on some comments that I see on Guardian and other websites, looks like this report is false. This is not a law, but a union agreement, and it talks about 11 hours rest per day for executive and highly ski

I just switched from AT&T U-verse to Comcast 30Mbps because my newly purchased house can't get U-verse. However, almost everything (streaming, gaming, downloads, etc) has been poor since I switched. Usually at the 1Mbps mark. Major

I was thinking the same thing. However, if this company had infected those thousands of machines, and was presumably mining continuously, and it still was able to make only few thousand dollars, then I guess you'll not be able to get a

How do you use Asana for bug-tracking? We're considering doing so too (We already use Asana for task management, etc), and would love some pointers from someone who's already done so.

I thought they'll add KeyChain integration in iOS more deeply. Something like, "If you tap-hold on a password field in an iOS app, the OS will ask you if you want to paste the password from your KeyChain." That's where i

Is the underlying OS Windows 8? I think Microsoft can give its Windows 8 apps platform a big boost by giving them presence in the next Xbox. EDIT: Looks like they use Windows 8, but the Windows 8 apps will need to be modified to work on Xbo

I worked with Andrew for a while, and I can confidently say that he's a good and smart product guy. He had a good vision for the future of Groupon. Things obviously didn't work out, but it will be ignorant to put all the blame on him. This
