Maybe change your title to "Any particular app you want built for WinRT?" or something similar. Right now the title looks much more like you're trying to ask for others to join you rather than you soliciting ideas for apps to build.

You do realize the "appearance" of a site has nothing to do with the underlying stack, right? A Django site can appear like a Rails site can appear like a Drupal site can appear like a ... You can argue for differences in behaviour, sure; b

Does anyone know what (will/has) happen(ed) to the pod? Presumably at some altitude, the helium balloon will expand to the point of "popping", and down comes the pod--or am I mistaken? Assuming the pod falls down, and isn't controlled, isn'

Actually, private sharing is in the works :). Once most of the core functionality is in, I'll be posting a Show HN topic for it! Re: Associating with users, perhaps you can utilise the #hashtag functionality to tag other users by their HN u

Well shucks. That puts a minor damper in an otherwise fabulous show of great redundancy engineering.

I stand corrected, then. Congrats and keep up the awesome work ;)!

I think so, too. I started off with Mercurial (and still prefer it, if I'm working on solo projects) before moving to Git, and by then Bitbucket had already won me over :).

Yes, quite a shame too, since I used it actively. I'm glad that Chrome will now be supporting a similar functionality (albeit in a somewhat hackish way for the time being). Can't wait to see what develops of the new Chrome networking stack.

Supposedly, San Francisco has reached "Epidemic" scale in flu outbreaks... How is that categorized? What's considered an epidemic? I live in San Francisco and have yet to notice any peers with the flu.

Great! I know for a fact that Netflix does this, so it's good to see you guys are inheriting the better parts of Netflix ;). I have a Canadian Netflix account, which while in Canada can only access licensed Canadian content, but while in th

You are responding to the author ;). That said, I wholeheartedly agree. Did Drupal dev for 2 years, and my biggest takeaway was: Don't go around installing custom modules for one dinky feature. Wrap it up in your own custom module. Less dep

Not trying to be snarky, but the USA is supposed to be the paragon of freedom and democracy, yet even its government is spying on its own citizen via the NSA. A democracy is no guarantee against a surveillance-expansionist regime, especiall

All this, just because John McAfee wouldn't drop some coin into the local politician's "campaign coffer"? Either we're not being told the full story even by McAfee, or life in Belize is a real dog (excuse the pun).

Great idea, and definitely something I've been looking for! As you get more users and traction, you can even implement some forms of anti-plagiarism (the test should still be allowed to pass, but simply flagged for the reviewer of the resul

Do you have a source for your first statement? Not that I'm implying you are lying. Certainly it's added as a mineral fortifier, but to protect the teeth of people unable to afford toothpaste? That is news to me.

I think he meant historically, when we were still either hunter-foragers or early agrarians. Elders were idle mouths that needed feeding, but provided minimal tangible benefits to the tribe at hand.

I guess 1 BTC to ~$4.5 CAD [1] is considered a failure to some. Based on the average volume of 10K BTC a week, that's $45,000 CAD exchanging hands a week. Not mind blowing, but certainly not a failure, I would say. [1] Average price from h

As you say, they contain outdated and out right false information. Now, it's not merely being wrong once in a blue moon or one or two articles being a bit behind the curve, but the sheer egregiousness of its mistakes plus the lack of acti

So you would rather clueless goons be in the so called "policy making process" (but let's be honest, more like a "lobby making process") than intelligent individuals that are pioneering the field which will soon need the policies? Great log
