I agree, yet I consider this to be the other way round. I treat "rm" still like a direct removal of the file and therefore use it with caution every time. Having it trash the file on my local machines is just a to me hidden fallba

Thank you. I just recently discovered the nRF52 as a potential solution for my own BLE project. To use a keyfob as a housing is brilliant and very 'stealth'. I have no experience with the nRF52 chips, but this will be a very usefu

This is awesome! It would be perfect if there an occasional artefact line crossing the entire page vertically could be added. You know, those lines caused by an old crusty ink jet print head. Also a visibly cast shadow by the allegedly sca

I'm very interested in those Boox tablets. Is there a way to have them display a static image (a custom website or Android app) when they are in standby? Or do they force-switch to some screen saver mode, like many e-readers do?

Uhm? Why do you consider a resting heart rate of under 75bpm to be a bad condition? I'm just assuming that you are within the average age group of hacker news readers (somewhere between 20 and 40 years) it's not really recommended

I agree and this kind of work day contraint is by far not suitable for everyone. If you'd tell average Joe, working in retail in some DIY market filling the shelves (just an example for a rather simple job, no implications, judgement o

Who actually uses them? I still can't wrap my head around why people are willing to rate products on pages like amazon or leave restaurant ratings on yelp and write detailed reports on tripadvisor or holidaycheck, but are not willing t

At some entrepreneurial meetup I met a german scientist, who was working on applying their image and information system's detection algorithms for exactly that. Could be useful to make an "uncheatable" driver's log. Didn

Dangerous. The "investors" buying their share expect it to be a safe investment. – Spread damage one could say. But especially in the housing industry the risks are really high that you could actually have to pay on top. Just a f

I carry this idea around since a couple of months as well. And I would totally be willing to pay $100 per month for this, if it only would include literally everything: Paywalls of newssites, magazines, books, scientific papers, series, mov

Think of this from the viewpoint of changing demographic: People get older and need to taken care of, which is shockingly expensive. There are several attempts, with prototyped like housing/neighborhood scenarios, where the younger gen

The issue with this is the increasing number of people on mobile devices and variety of device types. Worst case (and sadly most common one): You share the dropbox link, the recipient clicks on it, it opens the browser, triggers a download,

Thanks for your reply. I would love to hear from you in an update-post, when those customer relations actually end and you have to establish new ones. Especially given the situation that you both, can't profit from the company's r

I am really wondering how you communicate with your customers? Do they know that you are living in places where most of them might even can only dream of going to for vacation? Or do you just simply "not tell them"? How do you han
