Whoa. Anyone have any ideas for use cases? The article mentions manipulating tiny materials - like what? How would that work?

I love that the mini has been refreshed with the retina display - though was hoping for the new form factor (no button + smaller bezels)

Did you look at the screenshot? The small, greyed-out “Sponsored” text is quite small and everything else is identical to a real listing. Really is a dark pattern. Especially given that the purpose of the list is to avoid unwanted/unne

Nicely done! This is not trivial work. Have spent a lot of time working with ImageMagick + lots of tweaking to try and get background removal working. Getting it working for a more rounded, universal set of images is the toughest bit but yo

I believe a number of brands use software to monitor social channels for tags/locations related to their brand. This happens, of course, in near realtime and then it becomes fairly simple to identify them and start manufacturing instag

The problem is particularly bad for packages sent to condo buildings. Amazon pickup points are good, but still require you to go pick it up (and delivery notifications are usually quite delayed for me for some reason). I've been throwi

This is dope. I second a name change. How about http://hn.chat ?

As I understand it, it is designed to put common misspellings/close-spellings of the three word phrase (eg. cat.mice.dog vs. cat.mice.dogs) in totally different parts of the earth, so that it is immediately obvious on lookup that you h

How about a photo stream w/ comments where users post 'what I'm doing instead of smoking'?

Deplorable. Where notebooks are concerned, it reminds me of a TrueCrypt decoy password feature that would unlock a 'clean' hidden volume when entered in place of your 'working' volume password. Might be mistaken, though.

Could you use a url parameter on the end of the real url (e.g. example.com/page?source=email_[date]), and then use the history object to strip the param once they land on the url (modern browsers)?

This looks brilliant! Wish I had an android device to test. This would be great on iOS 8, which allows developers to bake photo editing tools and custom filters into the stock Photos app.

I wonder if the most efficient way to do this is to simply subsidize the child's earnings for the family on the promise that the child will be sent to school.

Stumbled upon this last week and used it in conjunction with FiftyThree's Paper app to create a pretty impressive prototype that I was able to view right on my device. Bit more of a process when using Paper, as it only seems to be able
