Personally, I have to have clear, simple, and hard-edged rules when it comes to my eating diet. If I give myself any wiggle room, I find myself wiggling more and more until I'm back where I started. I've had great success cutting back on ju

this conversation ends here, I am not patio11. That's a real shame. (and I'm not being sarcastic) I enjoy hearing about the successes and thought processes of people who are doing well.

Thanks for the tips. You most likely saved me a bunch of headache and I appreciate it. I'm pretty intrigued by a library that can apparently handle ajax/json updates and content creation. Heh... I thought PHP was only for page generation a

We believe the one he told to a bunch of geeks off the cuff and before the Producers and Legal team for his show told him to back away from what he said in this video.

Would you please share some code samples or favorite blog posts on how you're using phpQuery as part of a scrape app? What set of tools/libraries are you using? I'd really like to hear more about the current state of the art (without you t

Most "screen scraping" these days is just extracting content from web pages. 1) Write a program that can load webpages as if it was a user of the site. 2) Have it save everything it loads. 3) Write a program that can extract the data you ca

Funny how "If you're not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to fear" only works when the authorities are recording what you say and do and not when you do the same to them.

One could easily imagine a registration including a computer-readable logo, that when one points one's phone at it, produces reviews of whether that registration is good or bad. Which just opens the door to abuse from anyone

Do you have a blog or something where you walk through the legal and financial calculations you made? I'm really interested in seeing how you enumerate and evaluate your options.

Like that famous quote about advertising expense... I think about half of the time I spend here is wasted and half extremely valuable. The problem is that it's usually not clear which is which until after I've sunk the time.

Certainly we want to reduce/eliminate frivolous lawsuits. The (really hard) problem is finding a good way to do so.

There are a bunch of certifications already. They are either too simple or too narrow to be particularly useful for hiring purposes (imho). The best way I've seen to evaluate the ability of a programmer and their* fit at your company is to

Instead of dealing with annual subscriptions, I think you'd be better off making it easy for people to sign up for a recurring monthly charge to paypal or whatever. Annual subscriptions have too many negatives for the time required to handl

Personally, I wish they would spend that money on making their email client display html well. It sucks for emailing tabular data to business owners. They could also greatly improve their web browser. Apple's devices totally eat RIM's lunch

Another meta comment: Let me start by saying I do not think you have deliberately abused the HN point system. You already have a high score and presumably don't care about the number growing. That being said... this is an interesting way
