Super! Really happy you like it - we'll be in touch about the delivery.

Sorry about that. We noticed a few bugs like this during development that seem to be due to the 3D renderer rather than the code to resize the superhero, but we'd love it if you could save the superhero if you encounter this again and pop u

Hi! Yep, the viewer is WebGL. We're using the Three.js library ( http://mrdoob.github.com/three.js/ ) to handle the actual rendering for us, and there's lot of programming magic behind the scenes to customise the meshes and textures on the

I wasn't having a go at you, rather wondering about who'd try such a strategy.

by 46Bit 14y ago
Seriously? Sending things is an interesting strategy if it's your business, but bribes are counterproductive. Unless premature desperation is a trait YC seek.

It's hard to say from so little information. Generally speaking though, if you know that others are getting applicants then you're probably doing something wrong in comparison. Look through the /jobs board here for inspiration in that regar

Hacker? Find some local hackdays (ideally with a vague topic) and go along. Build anything you like, then try to find a way to make it from a hack into a product - viable or not. There's nowhere better to find non-bullshitters and get atten

Saw one of these outside Y Combinator the other week - seriously cool idea. Best of luck with it, hope you expand to the UK soon enough.

It's not a case of some chips though. To be sure, you would have to do it to every chip you used - and even then it'd be quite possible you've missed something. Realistically this is about power rather than espionage. In a similar way to ho

Consumer Internet companies get far more attention than they deserve because their business model involves using your time. There's a massive number of far more interesting, profitable companies in tech that you rarely if ever hear about.

"Well, if you want to make TechCrunch, you might want to start one of those web companies. [...] At the bottom of the list was Biotech, with less than half a percent of Biotech startups getting any coverage."

Possibly the least smart comment on this thread, but it resembles the purple destroyer in the Falling Sand Games.

A related note about UI design. I've lately been seeing a lot of ads (mostly on Muni) for both ZeroCater and Cater2 (a competitor http://cater2.me ). What's interesting is how much better the clean ZC style looks compared to Cater2's ... f

Twitter won. They've stood up for their users in court and got a lot of public support for doing so. The verdict is disappointing but doesn't really affect that. The users involved, and others down the line, are the ones who effectively los

You're comparing apples to oranges. A more correct assertion: By late 2012, jQuery will still be supporting a browser replaced by MS in 2006 but by early 2013 it won't support a browser that was only replaced by MS in 2011. It's still a val

I look on this as another example of the miraculous leap the moon program was. Being so far before it's time, it was miraculous but doomed nonetheless. You can't commercialise something that was only affordable because two countries were tr

I'd say this is spot on, but the question is that of whether paying off the vast majority of the debt is even possible. In the USA especially, I've long since concluded it simply cannot happen. Look at how much bickering the Republicans and

I would assume they weren't new planes: likely easier to buy them off a company in a country with lax regulation than get Boeing to build you one.

Mixing insecure content makes it stupid, but as someone who uses https on my blog, it comes down to why not to use it. For the time being there's no reason, especially when Gandi give free certificates with a domain. The one quirk is that I

To risk being viewed as that crazy paranoid commentator: Scientology is no stranger to lawsuits. They may well discourage publishing such at risk of expensive, drawn-out legal action.

Just don't mention Heroku by name. "Webhost" or something is enough. I'm in two minds about the whole thing though.

As with GCHQ's discovery of the concept of asymmetric encryption years before it was rediscovered[1], it's always good to bear in mind that there's likely similar things being devised currently. When weakening or breaking encryption & h

How do you put a kill switch in? The entire point was for it to be on an offline system, and the traffic for it checking for Internet to in turn check for an order like that might have given the game away. It sounds like they had something

Pretty sure that wasn't SpaceX he was talking about, but rather a spaceplane reminiscent of the X-37 (possibly actually it, from what I've heard in the past).

Off-topic, but you should think about going to http://youngrewiredstate.org this summer. It's a week-long open data hack that ends with 1-2 days of camping at Bletchley Park. I've been to it two years running now and it's done wonders.

Looks far too similarly pronounced to SPARQL ( http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/ ). Or is that deliberate?

Duh. As dumb a comment as that seems, I'm sticking with it.
