That definition of "hacker" is so flawed and half-hearted I can't help but wonder why you defend it so passionately. Does programming really define someone's life and meaning so much that it requires listing the same area of interest five t

Are you a lawyer? Do you know at all what is necessary to prove the black letter elements of fraud in the jurisdiction where the contract between the dev/client originated? Are you licensed to practice there? No? Well then it seems by sayin

Upvotes for being the most relevant of any comment on this thread, but it just reflects what the problem is. If history is any guidance, the Federal Circuit will create something rather patent-friendly (brought to you by the team who brough

Love the continued one-liners that really never answer the questions people are posing. Namely, the HN posts that you link completely call it: Why do you insist on tackling any problem that you encounter with exactly the same toolchain and/

Apparently you just don't do well when people challenge your preconceived notions. Given that you seem completely unable to defend some of your assertions, it's understandable that most people write you off as plain wrong. It sucks too, bec

What??? This article is so poorly thought out that I can't help but laugh. It begins with a failed premise: Amazon has setup lockers to expand their current biz model to areas and customers they can't serve well due to delivery hassles, not

Couldn't have said it better. People act completely stupid when it comes to their OS. HOLY SHIT THERE'S A STANDARD TEXT FIELD CLASS?!?!?! APPLE IS DOOMZ0R3D!! Be a champ and submit these kind of things to your local devs and (as the super "

Wait...what? The outcome of vocal pressure on Apple to change? There were definitely people pushing for better visibility of the human costs of the electronics industry, but aren't we being a bit circle jerky here? Well-orgaznied and vocal

So, perhaps I'm spoiled: I was born and raised in Las Vegas. and CES is just another expo. Heck, this year I made it down to the actual show floor once for a few hours max. Yet I also feel the pain of spending a ton of effort in trying to g

Without any disrepect to Aaron's memory (very sad news), no. Interested to hear what reminded you, but Turing committed suicide based on an unjust persecution of a minority by society as a whole. While Aaron's situation also involved injust

It might be rude, but he's not wrong. Deploying APIs in the cloud for primary use in mobile apps is an oft-repeated/able task, and it doesn't seem like there's anywhere near enough value in the Parse API on top of what you get from the nati

A few things. (Disclosure: I'm a mobile dev/freelancer, been doing this own my own for a while with pretty good results) 1) I think the biggest issue is the cold-start problem discussed by another HNer below. Namely, while the copy sounds

Wow. Crazy article. Not sure if the Woz/Jobs intro is exactly apt; hindsight tells us that while Woz may have been disenchanted (and that as a true uber ultimate hacker, he probably stumbled upon this decades earlier and significantly harde

Your excitement about what Haieh is doing is awesome, but what does it have to do with Jobs? One of the biggest annoyances I have with the tech press is their tendency to throw Apple/Jobs into any article, no matter how unrelated. I'm gonna

Did you even read the article before criticizing? Seriously, I hate to ask things of that sort on HN, but Siegler specifically points out that his problem with Google in this matter is they use the faux idea of "open" to rile pro-Droid folk

The car <-> technology gets thrown around a lot; sometimes it's apt, other times not so much. This is definitely one of the latter. The smartphone market is rapidly maturing, but that doesn't mean it can sustain a multitude of niche

I'm sorry, but this "accurate in theory" junk needs to stop, it's this sort of meaningless reliance on inaccurate anecdotal accounts that allows the misinformation that the article talks about to spread. The article specifically points out

Exactly? Wave, OpenSocial, OpenOffice: a bunch of great open ideas that never got support from their original corporate overlords. So they're dumped into the Apache Incubator, where they die a slow death. It's really a shame. I remember inv

Sadly, I simply cannot agree. I absolutely understand Marco's desire to focus on developing Instapaper, but there's quite a bit more at stake here, and his willingness to move on without even a bit of protest is concerning. He claims that t

I'm extremely skeptical. I've not used 99designs, but I've used Freelancer and worked for clients with eLance. This seems to basically just be a design-focused clone of those sites. A little bit of Google-fu brought me to this: http://www

Depending on how lucky you are, you may only have an opportunity to do this once, maybe twice. +1 to the crowd urging you to wait until you have something you really feel passionate about. Also, I'm not sure where you reside, but physically
