Interesting write-up on the additional work of almost implementing a spreadsheet in the back-end! I'm curious as to what kinds of functions exactly are these. In the article, you mention that "We chose to compute asynchronously in

This looks really cool! Quick question: is there an easy way to export the recorded notes elsewhere? Often, what we try to do for meeting notes is post them in a Google Docs after the fact, and it'd be great to have this as an almost-a

I completely agree. The article's author suggests that the study's result is too good (to be true), and casts that as the sole reason to reject the study. I think that such a surprising result definitely deserves scrutiny, but bar

Speaking as someone who spent a brief stint at a Japanese (but more recently multi-national) car company, I definitely felt that the foreign workers were given more leeway and almost expected to deviate from the traditional norms. My manage

This is incredibly detailed; in short, CDNs, cookies/authentication , tons of subdomains, and 3rd-party/user-generated content make it a pain to move onto HTTPS. I was chatting with a non-engineer friend about why it's hard t

To be honest, I think email accounts (especially the main ones) have always been a huge target to thieves, since many services still use it as the primary password reset/two-factor authentication method. In that sense, not much has cha

WrapAPI is in many ways inspired by Kimono for its ease-of-use, but is much more powerful. You can send POST requests and fill out forms, as well as create different types of outputs and chain them. Kimono and import.io, on the other hand,

We currently don't deal with it, but when using WrapAPI, you can specify your own proxy servers and we'll route the requests through them. This was yet another of the features that we added only after getting feedback last time ar

Hey everyone! My name is Peter, and I'm the creator of WrapAPI. We recently launched a new version (thanks in large part to the feedback from the HN community from our launch last year [1]), and would love your thoughts. In short, we&#

I think the most open (and perhaps "easiest for users") is still just using email and password. It's the baseline, and unless social features or real-world identity verification is a core part, email/password is availabl

Looking at this list, the professions that Turnbull wants to remove is incredibly broad. As a Canadian in the US, I'm not 100% clear, but it seems like the 457 visa is a lot like the H1-B. With that comparison, it's really surpris

Good catch! I think you're right; Tesla probably now buys pretty generic cameras (from various suppliers) and then integrates them, so the cost is definitely not that much.

EDIT: Ignore the first paragraph below; @dyarosia mentioned correctly they're working on their own vision system, so they probably buy generic camera units. (IGNORE THIS: The surround cameras are likely still in collaboration with Mobi

Thanks for trying it out this far fjallstrom! Out of curiosity, which part of the process did you get stuck on? We've been trying to work on the UI a lot, so would love the feedback.

This isn't the first time Twitter has bought a pre-launch company for this much, and the answer is probably the same way that Twitter managed to value Vine at $30 million before its launch: http://allthingsd.com/2012100

This doesn't work with a web application, as we need to request a token directly from the FB API which would check for the URL to match the approved URLs for Tinder.

Creator here! I'm really sorry about having to do this, but this is the only way to make it work so far, since we can't get Tinder app tokens; after the initial authentication, the server only works as passive proxy for traffic t
