we just need an automated way to extract that information so it doesn't clutter the comments.

There has been very little progress on forums since twitter and facebook grabbed the spotlight. Forums with moderation, up/down voting, usage limits (suspends you if you post too much too fast), reputations etc.. would be a start. Most impo

I heard this story about two years ago, not a lot of new information about the fuel cell here.

From the description of the site, it's not just like HN but like countless design forums that have existed for years, where people critiqued each others work. That's not what matters though. The quality of the designers, developers, startin

Only when I think about other industries as examples. In theory the more people fussing around some industry, the more tools they create for it, the more possibilities there are and so more money can be made. That's been true for scientific

Note 1 is pretty important. If you're non-technical how do you know if your idea is technically challenging or not? In many cases you don't, even technical people often misjudge how challenging and idea can get. If it is challenging, you ge

These stick for programmers: do computers, startup, make money on the internet, websites, make iPhone apps. For designers: websites, logos, posters, ads. Lowest common denominator though.

That's what I tried, saw the white hover outline, put the line there, did not connect.

Feels kinda broken. Hard to connect the lines. Don't know why some lines don't connect.

It comes from spending time in some domain, like wikipedia, photo sharing, forums, shopping etc... You don't just come up with an idea out of the blue, you do something long enough and you'll have an idea in that domain and have a few hunch

So? It gets information from curated sources. The important part is how it reads and displays the information. That's their "experience." The computer voice they have sounds pretty natural, is that part of the OS or part of their service?

Well the string DSL is easier to read. Doesn't seem like there would be a lot of useful autocompletion with objects/classes either.

by Detrus 16y ago
Strings? Not familiar with your specific needs, but generally prefer DSLs fine tuned to the task. Strings sound like they'll allow more flexibility for you, less hassle for developers to type and read. Objects and classes sounds like boiler

Strategy and development priorities. By the time they reach significant penetration, that Win2K audience will be smaller. If they spend a lot of effort supporting old systems now, they'll have less resources for making Chrome better on mode

Yes these would be useful to me. What would the performance be like compared to other options like Java? You'd have to use the new typed arrays to have any hope of comparable performance right? This http://harthur.github.com/brain/ seems

Also your startup won't have to smell you. Full breakfasts and exercise help too. Also living in a sane country where you can go outside to buy some food, look at people who are genuinely satisfied with life could help, although those count

Usual meaning of regrets are things you really wanted to do at the time, had a chance to try, did not and didn't do anything else that was particularly exciting. Then felt a nagging about it your whole life, which only gets worse when you'r

If the generation never spends a lot of time outside, they won't know what they missed and won't feel regrets.

Did the startup scene have a web presence where people used their real names? It does now, there are a lot of CETFOs on Quora using their real names, answering questions about startups. Lets see where that leads.

Probably say you're working on projects that do this or that, don't need to say it's a startup, could be an open source project, who knows.

Social organization should be harder to solve than finding dark energy and higgs bosons. It's a massively complex problem. Walled gardens grow stale, progressive communities fall apart. That's the natural order of things. The best thing to

Why would mobile OS companies devote resources to improving Flash when they're already working on Canvas, WebGL etc... They'll still have to make Canvas as fast as they make Flash. Flash was supposed to be canvas, but Macromedia/Adobe chose

Not bad. I like how a lot of the examples and descriptions are short. Sometimes it would be nice to see how the code functions as part of a larger program, so you could organize snippets by length and by what other snippets it connects to.

I would be hard pressed to find a site that required serious development effort and did not collect and sell your information. In this case though, they're mainly collecting your interests, subjects you follow, answers on subjects, how othe

seems like other HNers are saying the same thing as me. You could try an A/B test, see if you get more signups if you show tour or signup first. Or you could make the tour much shorter, 600px high, then have the signup form right below that

It's interesting. First thing I wanted to see was the tour, not the signup page. Tour has screenshots of stores.

Quora has a lot of science questions/answers. Quora itself is not focused on a topic.
