Does anybody know where the founders come from? if they were known from before? Asking because it sounds like Google was after the team more than anything… 5 months doesn't leave much time for them to prove what they're capable of, so I'm c

This is where the report comes from apparently: http://www.freedomhouse.org/template.cfm?page=664 I would have been interested in seeing France ranked in there. Reporters without Borders put France "under surveillance" in part due to the

Thanks for the link, this looks interesting… I recently tried to have lunch more often with my existing connections (former colleagues et al), but it would be great to expand my lunchmates.

This is getting very off-topic, but see this bit from the Daily Show that illustrates this exact point: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-september-13-2006/the-...

Regarding #4, and in particular "If it’s more of a product role, build something!" How would that work for a non-developer? By paying someone to do it? (not necessarily easy. Not everyone has enough entrepreneurial spirit to invest in their

Good point about the positions of the keys. In fact, I had never thought that one could argue that the '0' key should be to the left of the '1' key… keyboards predate computers, so I see why this is not the case, but it could be argued.

Considering the likely audience, starting with 0 seems adequate. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering )

I can confirm that United does it with their mobile site. You would get a page with an image of the QR code and every other info they need. (funny thing when I did it was that my screen had a few lines running across the middle of it, so I

These "salary" threads of the past week have been a bit depressing to me. Like you, most of the salaries discussed in these threads make me feel like I've been and am still underpaid. And this one is no other. And I live in the Bay Area… my

Google, for example, pays $8,000 a month - just for interns! Do you have a source for this? That seems exceedingly high. And even higher on an annual basis that the entry level salary you're mentioning. Though I could see how paying a few

According to a tweet from Postagram is because the in-app billing is for in-app stuff, and can't be used for physical stuff. "apple won't let us sell physical products with their billing system" http://twitter.com/postagram/status/57912193

While, by default, this would definitely not be my mindset, ("how can I take money from these people since I don't have anything to give them right now?") this is a good question. This is probably a good idea: - to validate your idea with r

I was just about to ask you just that. I've noticed in this thread ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2433424 ) that some comments don't show their points and that a few comments have an orange dot. Intriguing. But I'm glad you're workin

AirPlayer from Erica Sadun would work: http://ericasadun.com/ftp/AirPlay/ However, she mentions that you can't stream music to AirPlayer due to RAOP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Audio_Output_Protocol which, I guess is not true a

Is AirPlay encrypting streams though? There are a few apps that can playback AirPlay videos. Recently, I started to use a script that made Plex show up as an AirPlay target and it worked fine. edit: NB: I'm not sure "encrypting" is the righ

Could someone explain the implications of this? edit: it looks like it would allow another software to show up as an Airport Express in iTunes, thus becoming the potential target of streaming audio over WiFi from iTunes. But am I right?

Not important, but why the ".cx" TLD? Is this intended to be pronounced a certain way?

From the title, I expected the law to be about forbidding companies to keep too much data about their users. (which would explain Google's and Facebook's uproar) Consumer rights, or so I thought, tend to be pretty good in France in that reg

Just a couple of comments about the homepage: - as said by somebody else, I'd remove the reference to Airbnb. Not many people know what Airbnb is and "Airbnb for food" doesn't really explain what it means. - I'd also remove "food porn". I w

It reminds me of Google Fight ( http://www.googlefight.com/ ), which, back in the day, was sometimes useful to settle some spelling disputes :) (now, Google does this for me) However, I'm not quite sure what to try HashtagBattle with.

As a tech recruiter I get treated with such disregard by experienced candidates as it's assumed we are a purely and simply a middle-man. It's discussed on HN now and then, but the reason for that is that most recruiters are terrible at th

I would only find the number of tweets a meaningful measure of something. At least, it means the user is doing something on the site. (though of course you'll have people who use it a lot without voicing their opinion, which is fine too) Nu

I used to do that as well (mostly before switching to Safari), and I would also remove the status bar (Cmd+/ to toggle it). Cmd+L would bring the URL bar when needed. A very zen look overall. The one thing that I missed the most in the stat
