I created this account after a couple of years. My main account is 1000+ days old. Seriously. This summer has been depressing to watch HN go down the pan.

Just don't do 'login' type work at public wifi :/ is that so hard? Do people not know this already? Did some people ever think it was safe to use public wifi for anything other than general browsing? Please HN: Stop getting outraged by stuf

Either you'll do a great job getting people out of debt, or you'll be profitable. You can't do both.

shrug pretty much. The issue is that framework docs are often better than js docs. So instead of people sitting down with a decent js book and learning the right way to do something, they just use a framework. The fact that pretty much al

Don't believe the notion that making 100 websites that earn $1 a day is easier than making 1 website that makes $100 a day. It's not. Create value, make users want to stick around, iterate, grow.

They probably realize that linux/osx devs will look at their stuff and laugh out loud at its lameness.

2k = 95% of what you'll ever need. FWIW browser differences are always vastly overplayed by 'framework' developers.

When exactly did he say "women should not run a startup."? > "I write in a gender independent style (unlike your comment!)." That seems fairly silly considering 95%+ of founders are men. Women founders are an edge case. Whether that's h

How about the baby who died because through unknown causes in its own room, that could have been saved if it was in your own bed? everything carries a risk. Do what seems natural and right for you.

I agree with you - I wouldn't use a webbrowser on a games console. But the population disagrees - they do :/

FWIW, I disagree. When MS announced support for facebook on the xBox, I thought "hmm why not just give users a browser". Then they announced twitter integration... "Umm how about just stuff a browser on there". It's farcical. But OTOH, it f

You don't find it absolutely bizarre that it doesn't even have a web browser? Even when a tiny DSi has a very capable browser, smart phones have browsers. And a big gaming console from a supposed software company doesn't even have a web bro

Digg is just a couple of years ahead. Lets see where Twitter is in 2 years.

Same as Digg. Betting they'll be acquired.

Agree. The fact the xBox gaming console has the power of a supercomputer, as evident from its fans and overheating problems, but doesn't even have a simple webbrowser is all the evidence we need. MS has never understood or indeed wanted the

> "They also developed the Blu-Ray format; possibly they get licensing fees for that?" The Blu-Ray format sums up what is wrong with Sony. It's a dead end format which probably won't even recoup the money it took to develop.

It's a great movie. Also really funny and surprising just how little time/mind share/effort they seemed to spend on the actual product and users of it. Of course that could have been in the editing.

Every chatroom looks the same. It's like moaning that email clients steal UI from each other. Of course they do.

You still seem to be missing the point that the impact velocity is like <1mph if you do it properly. If it looks like it's not going to work, you just speed up again...

Any 'desktop' style keyboard with big fat keys that travel down more than a few mm. I want as little key travel as possible. Typing on a desktop keyboard is slow and tiring.

Come on. The risk was very low. 1. Drive infront 2. Match the speed 3. Slowly reduce speed so that the car behind knocks into your back bumper at a relative speed of like 1 mph. Maybe you feel a tiny bump. 4. Apply brake

I don't think that's the case. As an 80s home computing revolution kid, quite a lot of kids were into BASIC etc. To a certain extent we've lost that now. We grew up in a time where you could buy a computer and you pretty much had to learn h

I've never seen anything but praise for them. My mac keyboard is the best keyboard I've ever typed on. The current crop of macbooks also have extremely good keyboards.
