On Aug 5, 1891 Puck magazine published a cover related to privacy. Does anyone at HN know where I can get a copy of this magazine? I'm willing to pay. The title is linked to the picture of the cover.

don't sweat it. not all, but lots of people here expect to be treated with kid gloves and get outraged at even the mildest criticism

This is something I never understood about Firefox OS. Why did they not package it up in a way that it could be easily installed on someone's existing smartphone. I was eager to give it a try also but there was nowhere to buy the hardw

I agree, its totally out of control. Kind of ridiculous when you go to a concert and the majority of people are watching the show on the screen of their phones rather than directly

I doubt that's the rationale. No offense, but you sound like someone who only knew about him because of his show. He's been doing a lot of different things and I would say that arguably his career is doing better than ever.

I'm not sure if it works that way in real life. Dreamweaver made it really simple to create websites but look at the quality of what was produced. Any good developer would not use this tool even though it did make things simpler

This is a taste of the future. More and more people are creating things using tools and frameworks but not really understanding the underlying concepts. When I pick up a bookshelf at IKEA and put it together, I don't start calling myse

I don't think it was dismissive at all. When a post rises to the front page of HN people are going to post comments both agreeing or disagreeing. In my case, I don't see what all the hoopla was about or how this was upvoted to pag

Hasn't this already been done? It's called a web app using html, css and javascript

Wouldn't that be a huge security flaw? Someone with access to your phone could uninstall the app then read all the messages.

it looks like some default limits are in place for this. Here's what I found: Max for seconds: 999 Max for minutes: 999 Max for hours: 23

When did this happen? As of March 2, Rap Genius was still seeking to get money refunded. http://venturebeat.com/2013/03/02/rap-genius-responds/

If its only a few customers that are bent out of shape, how come you haven't quickly offered them refunds?

I've already tried that with no success

Thats not true. I've had several employers tell me that not having a LinkedIn account was amateurish.

by perucoder 15y ago
It will probably get to a point where employers think you are lying because "everyone" has a facebook account.

I know I would be very interested. The company I currently work for is attempting to do something similar, so it would be good to see how you guys did it and what the pitfalls are.

Why do you assume he's not being honest and then criticize him for that? Could it be that pg is trying not to be a dick?

by perucoder 15y ago
right, but wouldn't low numbers to begin with indicate problems beyond just the website? What's the metric then? If the site is generating 100k a year and you bump conversions by 10% is that success? If the site is only generating 10k per y

Am I the only one who thinks perhaps his expectations were too high. I'd be extremely happy if the redesign I'm working on increased the conversion rate by 20%. How is that failure?

Basically, I'm trying to appease higher ups who insist that we need an app, but dont understand all the complexities about maintaining separate codebases, app store approval process, etc... As long as there is something installable in the a

by perucoder 15y ago
Right, I understand that part, but it still sounds like it converts your site into a native app. If I then made a change to the site, I would have to do the whole process over again. I'm looking for something that points to the site, so I c

Thats great, I'm going to check them out. Could the same thing be done for android apps as well?

Yep, I've seen phonegap, but I'm not looking to port the website, just have an app that could display it.

Can you explain exactly what devices they wont stream to? I have Netflix also and am able to view it on my PC and my TV thru Roku or XBOX.

by perucoder 15y ago
What's to stop you from switching to Amazon? Have you tried watching a movie on Amazon? Way less usable and its hard to find movies sometimes. Netflix has a way better interface and what I find myself doing is checking on Netflix first, and
