The problem here I suspect is that there are sensible bases for the core tenets of different political points of view, and they end up being stifled because of it.

Funding is cyclic, going through ups (now, unquestionably) and downs (2008/09 for instance). I'm nothing of an expert, but the alternative approach of raising funding to last not-that-many months to develop further and likely not yet 'be th

The original estimate was a farce anyway. It could never have been delivered for that.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was thinking of. Anyone care to explain the downvote this had received?

In the long term we can hope for this. But simple logistics say it'll be decades at least before we on Earth will possible see benefit. Potentially only when the upper crust's resources start to draw thin will it really kick in, based on wh

From what I'm reading, this poster is the 'real' CTO so to speak.

Where you often struggle to get enough time to do anything - even if you're willing to trust the machines to not be compromised. There's a fantastic article from a librarian on the topic of helping people to use library computers and the pr

The title doesn't match up with what the article admits: that for the time being it was rejected by the carriers.

Not everyone has thousands or millions of dollars in funding.

Indeed, it's supposed to protect teeth of people unable to afford toothpaste. Whilst it actually just causes cancer. In a similar way to how X-raying everyone who wants to get on a plane protects us from non-existent terrorists.

I've been expecting that for a while. Too many startups have crazy valuations, but too many seem to make good money for me to think all the investment will dry up for 5 years or anything like it.

by 46Bit 14y ago
Without a track record of success I'd question that it's that easy to raise funding. It might help if you explained your experiences with startups that are hiring.

I don't know who you are, so I assume I'm not. I was referring to the writer as I'd just quoted.

More or less, yes. The thing is only being built because Labour managed to make it barely any cheaper to cancel the contracts than to actually build a second, unused & unusable one.

You're not supposed to try and cheat the SEC. It's long seemed that Groupon raced to IPO so that some people got their money before it fell apart.

Related: asking questions that whilst widely applicable require a lot of detail for a worthwhile answer. Nobody can read your mind.

By associating speakers with HN accounts, you could filter out below a certain karma. Not to make it a clique, but more to just stop junk callers to some extent. Not too sure what I think of the open concept, but thought I should point it o

August. Just remember that a rejection isn't quite pluck a random boolean out a hat: you should be looking to move forward and improve, then try for it again if it still seems right. That's what I'll be doing if/when it's a No. Looking to j

I realised there's no instructions on how to use it, so quickly wrote some up from memory: https://github.com/46Bit/irepl/blob/master/INSTALL.md . Let me know if you have any problems.

(I'm one of the creators.) If you're curious about how we did it, take a look at https://github.com/46Bit/irepl . Messages Beta for Mac still has AppleScript bindings from iChat. We're (ab)using them to pass the iMessages to Heist and then

Sorry, had a bit of trouble whilst improving it. Back up now.

Along a similar line, me & dpkendal built a Scheme REPL for iMessage. Just iMessage to scheme@irepl.im (a bit of documentation is in the works).

There's some really interesting hacks, or at least concepts, around non-tackily doing that. Hmm.

I've not really noticed many on the front page up until the last week. Temporary boom, it'll go back down soon enough.
