One doesn't necessarily have to move to the safest country, where naturally the competition to get in is higher. One only needs to try to move to a safer country. As a species, we've become very tied to our original locations. Sta

Most people did not have that luxury during WW2, yet they did. Safety is safety.

That office could be in the programmer's own home.

I believe IKEA offers that locally through partners. That being said, someone on Fiverr might be willing to help.

Well in this situation, the hypothetical "you" are held accountable for your choice of automated car. Evaluating which programming group to trust seems like plenty of responsibility to me. Just like every investor is fully aware o

Sounds like an extra layer of card fraud protection might be a use case. Automating some shopping cases might be another.

What's "Trello" about Trello is more than just movable notes, as the GP mentioned. It's customer support, it's the silly but engaging "power-ups" and all the additional work put in after making movable not

Caveat emptor. There's no native desktop apps for Google Music, nor do they have an API for future integrations. On OS X, give Radiant Player a try. I tried switching to Spotify but had a hard time moving playlists. More than half my s

What's illegal and what's enforceable are two different things, particularly in Eastern Europe. Uber just launched in Romania and it's having a hard time getting off the ground. I asked a taxi driver why he wouldn't join

One question (also asked on Twitter): if it's free, why do we need to sign up? I appreciate the service, but there must be a better way to measure traction than user accounts!

Granted, the title and tone is a little sensationalist. In fact, you're right. The main point is invalid, the author only saves face toward the final paragraphs, when mentioning iOS.

The poster's point still stands, though. The user should decide whether to allow that permission on a case-by-case basis. Sadly, that's a problem with Android, not Paypal.

At last, some good debate :) You're right that long-form as a means of communicating complex, impactful ideas won't go away. However, you are assuming that the average audience tends toward the ideal (being on HN for a while certa

That's a good point. We still require and enjoy direct interaction, as well we should. However, as "multitasking" becomes more popular, the ability to communicate asynchronously becomes more important. Of course important thi

I can't believe I'm saying this at 28, but that's a really young-person point of view. You have to understand most of us younglings grew up with the Internet and have adopted text as the de facto mode of relaying information.

I believe there was some scandal on this exact topic in South America, a shop was making unbranded, identical body copies of exotic cars and had the law come crashing on them. Regardless, it could be a good idea to offer this service to the

While the idea seems interesting, a quick read of this post reveals no connection whatsoever to Tesla. I'm baffled by the title. I wonder if this idea could also be applied to other types of work-intensive designs that simply were ahea

I think your comment is assuming that something actually gets deleted permanently from social networks. That has been proven to not be the case. Once something is published, the cat's out of the bag. Sure, for a person with few followe

Just a question out of sheer curiosity from a business perpective, how were you monetizing the site? What prompted a buyer to pay what I assume is real money for the site? Was it a 1k, 10k, 100k exit?

In effect, Google computer vision got so good that they made their own system obsolete. This is a good thing. I still think the only reliable way to confirm identity (or humanity) online is an email or SMS verification. Recently, receiving

The blame may not entirely be on the framework, but it is certainly on their documentation. If something goes wrong, a developer should know which resources to use to solve the problem. Abstracting away the lower level stuff should not be s

I'd present this to the employer as switching from a full-time employee to an almost-full-time consultant. They give you a project, you get it done, regardless of where and how you do it. If the employer needs more convincing, propose

A HN-specific analogy would be: would you work for a startup who can't accept what you did prior to employment? A wife or new beau who can't accept that you had a past may not be a good idea for the future.

Unless Amie Street has a patent on demand-based pricing (which would now be in Amazon's hands), shutting down just means the market is open to a fresh, nimble competitor. Now, said competitor may just end up being bought by Amazon agai

I'm not sure how that trackpad was set, but I can jump across my MBP 15" diagonal with less than 2" of finger movement (more of a flick, really). After a few weeks of using it, the trackpad and its gestures have become second

And slowly, suspicious behavior is suppressed. This will have two effects. People who are truly suspicious for nefarious reasons will gradually stop being so. On the other hand, many will be incorrectly flagged as suspicious and harassed wi

SXSW is a popular tech-oriented conference, thus might qualify as news for nerds. Besides, my first fear upon reading was that it would be a Uber car. I'm glad that's not the case, but saddened that such a tragedy happened in the

This can already be done by someone who truly wants to keep an eye on you, only it takes more manpower (well, detective power). This is simply the same trend as ATMs replacing (some) bank tellers many years ago. Will it be easier to perform

This post is interesting because I can't remember the last time I read a programmer's blog dealing with emotions and how it feels to program. We're not cold, calculating automatons. We get scared, frustrated, angry, but als
