This is a really important distinction; I see a lot of people claim they don't understand something because implementation is hard. Sometimes implementation is just hard. They should note this more often in schools rather than taking an ext

That's kinda sad, really. I liked the ad hoc social network aspect. I never downloaded the app since they had no Android version when I looked. Did they ever release one?

The risk being that the so-so idea ends up succeeding later.

Has this sort of conglomeration been succeeding in technology? The big example is iTunes but Apple is such an outlier everywhere that I don't know whether it generalizes.

Your experience is much more representative and more likely to succeed. Noting that there is a shortage of Italian restaurants or exploitation of a scaling problem in advertising and so on is how most successful companies get built. More de

This was my impression as well.

Yeah, I've never quite been a fan of the glowing white Apple logo on back. It made more sense on the old white MacBooks.

This is different from what I get from people I know, who comment on how great they look.

I think the Senators have a problem with Google's size because they analogize it to other corporations of the 19th and 20th centuries whose size went with considerable power. Google does have plenty of influence, but it does not have the ki

Which is sad. My favorite items here are Ask HN and Show HN.

The original title is misleading. The actual thrust of the article is "are you soliciting help in a way which encourages participation by people from HCCs?" That's certainly something to think about, but it's a very different question from

I really wish people took this possibility, which is the College Board's position, more seriously before turning to whatever their favored educational hobby-horse is.

Sometimes I get the feeling that SCOTUS thinks they have said something meaningful when they haven't. It would be a decent study to see if judges are just re-applying their priors but, of necessity, using the language of Bilski. That would

But what product will they be putting the lock-in on? It may not matter, as we've seen with mobile OSes which, from the perspective of the median buyer, are locked in.

I don't see this. Apple sells hardware; incidentally, it comes with its own OS. I haven't met many people who bought a Mac for MacOS since Windows XP.

Perhaps we should consider this part of Apple's price premium.

by Hyena 15y ago
It shouldn't be necessary, especially if the reason for putting it in is that their mobile site doesn't work well with your device.

The issue with these examples is that they presume people can actually trade additional work for additional leisure. What has been pointed out is that if I raise your taxes, you have that much less income with which to maintain your lifesty

Has anyone ever considered making a reverse-ageist start-up? I kniw it's not legal, but I'd love to know what a company of people who have seen a couple cycles go through comes up with. Though reading PG, thay answer seems to be "really har

I think this article and the link below should meet, perhaps this weekend. They may find much in common and space to improve together. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3019351

My biggest problem with WebMD and other sites like it is that they often give me the following kind of result using their diagnoser: "it's flu, allergies, or a rare and deadly cancer, see a doctor".

I'm of two minds about this. As a Nymwar veteran, I naturally see this as a problem. But lots of people don't, especially outside early Internet app adoption groups. Adding scale may make the problem less pronounced by dilution. Privacy see

Time to see whether it will fly or the slowdown was a sign of trouble.

It's worth noting that healthcare hasn't seen the kind of productivity explosion other areas have. It's still in many cases a more "artisanal" discipline vis-a-vis manufacturing, etc. The major bright spot has been pharmaceuticals, which ar

It doesn't look like they attempted to figure out how many firms were simply never started, so the costs may be much higher.

You're right, apparently I did not understand the issue.

Your US citizenship binds you the US Citizenship licensing agreement, that includes prior claims on your income. Next you'll be telling me Apple is stealing from all those developers....

Break a law, pay the price. Pretty simple. I knew you should check your tax status while living abroad when I was 16. I find it hard to believe that this is something people living abroad shouldn't know.

I understand the issue perfectly well, thanks; particularly, I understand that it should hardly motivate histrionics.

Stand up for ex-pats how, exactly? They owe taxes, that's all.
