As a professional brewer by trade, I did not have it on my bingo card that the culprit behind 'old person smell' would be the same as the compound prevalent in stale beer.

I've found that this engineered optimization has a more pernicious side effect: killing curiosity. Lack of complexity stunts the desire to become curious - to give reasons to look closer, ask questions, compare experiences - and ultima

I'm fond of New Zealand, where you either pay as you walk out or the waiter brings you a mobile POS. There's no awkward 'take my credit card, walk away with it, and bring it back' moment. It's a much better system,

Interesting discussion here, I enjoyed reading it. I was sad to learn of Anchor’s demise today. It’s rare a thread appears on HN that’s relevant to my work! If anyone is curious about the current state of the beer market from someone who ea

Damn. This bums me out.

I understand this and I agree with you. I don't even deny that the 4s has a great camera. It does! But to compare it to an S95 and a 5D Mark II isn't a story that's ready to be told. I wouldn't have said a peep if they just showed the i

I think it's unfortunate but I can understand it's appeal and why people like it. Anyone can turn a crap photo into an appealing image with the application of a filter. Who wouldn't love that? It's like MSG for photography. It doesn't b

As a professional photographer, comparisons like this drive me absolutely insane, especially when they are called "incredible". Look, the iPhone 4s processes images with in-camera software and does it aggressively so images look pretty to t

There are people consistently on my list whom I never interact with.

The other trump card: Chrome. Bake the Google bar in and Facebook is in a world of hurt.

I have nothing insightful to say but I am in awe.

Wow, I came in here to say the same thing. I don't get enough traffic through Disqus to have issues at the moment, but when I did a while back I remember Daniel bending over backwards to answer all of my questions and it left an absolutely

I signed up when it they first appeared on HN and have been using it ever since. It's a simple idea that's been well executed. Kudos to them, I hope the service sticks around!

This stings. I love this service.

In all honestly I would think they might be an occupational hazard for someone working as a mover, no?

I'm going to check them out, thanks!

Might I ask which books you've read about him? Thanks.

+1 This more or less mirrors what I just said. The Nexus One is a tragedy not because the phone itself is bad; in fact it is quite the opposite - The Nexus One is a tragedy because it is the best smartphone on the market and Google/HTC/T-

I have an iMac, two macbooks, and an iPod touch. My phone of choice, however, is a Nexus One. After eating the cost of an unsubsidized unit, I pay sixty dollars a month for 900 minutes and unlimited everything else. SIXTY DOLLARS! If the

I have said it before in this space and I'll say it again: I love the hell out of my Nexus One, circumstances be damned.

I read the whole thing as "Here, you've forced us to give you a case but it's ridiculous and you really don't even need it."

I have nothing to suggest as I am in a similar situation and have been pondering making a similar type of request to the community for a long time. I have been repeatedly frustrated with my attempts to get to the bottom of it (ie rejected

I just want to take this opportunity to say that I love my Nexus One. I don't care if Google "failed" as a marketer/distributor of the device. When I put it side by side with an iPhone I can't even fathom wanting an iPhone. In fact, you

I quite enjoyed that and I'm not afraid to admit it.

Perhaps I am in the large minority but so far I have found Buzz to be engaging and quite useful. I wanted to try out a local restaurant and put the question to Buzz and received eight insightful responses in less than an hour. I enjoy it
