As an Irish citizen, I feel embarrassed by the way we have dealt with Apple (and other behemoth corps). We simultaneously gave these organisations "free parking" and a "get out of jail free card". I don't blame Appl

I also got thinking about them in the last month or so. I thought it might be fun/interesting to put one together today for the sake of nostalgia.

The technical requirements of running google maps would immediately turn your dumb phone into a smart phone. Why don't you just uninstall everything from your phone but whatsapp and google maps?

I feel like in 2017 we should have an automatic Ironing Machine in every home.

You should consider using more punctuation. This entire post has only 3 sentences. It's essentially unreadable. You might have a good point, but I can't understand anything you've said.

Slightly off topic, but when a page with minimal styling like this comes by, how do you typically view it? I usually do something like this in the inspector: body{ width: 601px; margin: auto; font-size: 1.3em; color: #48

I've been using Meteor with Blaze and mongodb for the last couple years for various small side projects and prototypes. I think it's a great way to get going fast and still works well at a reasonable scale. Plus, the reactive data

Agreed. A bit ranty - but still a good analysis of what constitutes bad design when "disrupting".

I've had the same issue. I built a web based cash register / stock tracking app for a customer a few years ago with the belief that there were hundreds of business operating in her niche in a small, easily accessible area. She lov

I totally agree. It's about fixing problems ahead of time. The only problem is that without a drive now, the tech could disappear, and when it finally does become relevant, an argument might be made that "it didn't work befor

The same approach could be used with any liquids, and possibly gasses too. As a proof of concept, this is incredible. I can imagine a ton of applications too. Scanning fossils is the first that comes to mind. I'm sure there could be pl

This is a great idea. My two cents: 1. An accounts system would be great so that I could just run ``python experiment.py | seashells u=almostarockstar p=hunter2`` or similar with keys, and then have a bookmark on my phone to view seashells.

Genuine question, assuming your not trolling, when was the last time you watched a concert video that you took?

Hey, I'm the author. I'd love to discuss the project with Hacker News. I know a lot of prominent entrepreneurs hang out here, so I'd like to ask if anybody is interested in having a chat with me for the channel? Thanks!

Good point. Perhaps if you gave the job to a CS major, or an engineer they'd invest the time in making a time saving interface. But an intern in Chase? I doubt they would have the skills or the knowledge to do that.

Nerdwriter covers a vast range of topics, which means a larger market, but clearly his knowledge of any specific area will be weaker. I particularly enjoyed his videos on poetry. Definitely gave me a new perspective on an art-form I have ne

I watched a few videos a while back - on the topic of love I think - and it felt like there was a hidden agenda. At the time I felt it was a little too opinionated, pompous, and possibly content marketing for a religious group. None of this
