Wow. He's not even a good liar. You can see all sorts of soothing behavior and micro-expressions. Contrast that to his direct confident demeanor when he's telling evasive truths. Clapper is the Director of National Intelligence

It takes 2 seconds for someone to know you're a developer - you tell them. You don't have to be "known." Most people higherimg developers couldn't name more than a few "known" developers, and those developers charge twice your rates and a

Imagine that. A site dependent on a database.

Simple: Get a client. As a developer, there is lots of demand. People will ask to hire you. Politely decline and offer to contract. Eventually someone will accept. Then when they want to hire you, politely decline again. Eventually they may

This is actually pretty clever, simple, and seems pretty secure. I'm not sure about attack vectors if someone has many of your passwords, but this seems good enough for most people.

The premise of this and every tool like it is to bring people together with common interests. If you are actually interested in something, go do it and you'll meet people with that interest. It's far more important to do something than it i

Every 2 years, a new design trend emerges and a bunch of hipster know-it-alls pop up from the woodwork espousing how the new trend was right all along, and what were all you incorrect designers thinking for the last 50,000 years. This deck

Wanting to maintain a competitive advantage is not evil in and of itself. Google Hangouts is far from a monopoly and they are under no obligation to make every product completely open. Not only would it be competitively stupid, but it would

Seems pretty new to me. The Schnozzel is not remotely the same product. I don't think they are claiming that effect they are exploiting is a new technology, rather integrating that directly into the nosel of an inflatable.

I forgot, Google+ is killing it and Google always has top notch UI. Actually, G+ is having issues because they are ordering comments to sort out the junk and losing chronology because single threads are horrible. I don't know much about Bra

I've been a bit more mindful of this in the past few hours, and I have to say, I disagree even more. Disqus does threads nicely, and every discussion I look at benefits from threads, and would be a disaster without them.

HN only breaks chronology on sister threads, where it doesn't matter. In 8 years (or whatever) of reading HN comment, I've never once had an issue with chronology of comments. If there were no threads, it would be such a mess, it wouldn't b

This thread between us is a PERFECT example of why threads are necessary. We are having a conversation that would not happen if there were no threads, and which I would hesitate to engage in because it would be side-tracking the main point.

by aneth4 13y ago
I completely disagree. Single threaded conversations are hijacked by the loudest and often most annoying commenters, don't allow interesting diversions, don't allow recovery from dead end conversations, don't organize information naturally,

Threaded comments are a good thing. This seems like a UI problem. One suggestion: 1) Put the thread reply text field at the top of the comments and show new replies at the top, at least for the user who made the comment. 2) Replying anywher

Google anything about Accor hotels, say what the benefits of Platinum are. You'll find you can't even access the content from mobile because the page is "not ready." Been like that for a year.

Currency has two major functions. As a medium of transfer, you may be correct. As a store of value - I find it hard to believe another cryptocurrency will approach Bitcoin.

Bitcoin doesn't have to compete against fiat currency because it addresses a different market - one that wants fast international money movement, minimal regulation, privacy, low cost, and minimal institutional involvement. Bitcoin isn't go

Replacing Bitcoin now would be like trying to replace gold with platinum or replace HTTP. It's not going to happen, no matter what technical advantages another currency has. Bitcoin has critical mass. Sorry. Game over. I don't say this as a

I didn't realize looking for SSIDs was an active process. Why wouldn't it just listen for broadcast SSIDs? Is this only for hidden ones? Regardless, headline should not single out iOS unless this is iOS specific - maybe it is? Readme says:

I don't hate Republicans who are not either completely hypocritical or spineless before the social conservatives and tea party idiocy.

by aneth4 13y ago
Not that this bill is necessarily a bad thing, but Republicans know no end to their hypocrisy. They'll introduce all sorts of unnecessary micro-regulation to create a "free" market. This is the same guy who supported the bills deregulating

How is it not a threat to have guns that can go through metal detectors, which we use in all sorts of government and transportation locations to prevent shootings? Even if this particular prototype is bulky, clearly the technology will adva

It's a perfectly reasonable decision to live in a closet if that's all you can afford in the city you want to live in. When I travel, I often stay in dorms, not because I can't afford a room, but because it's more fun and I feel better abou

You're missing an essential element: the living conditions of a human in a NYC apartment are entirely voluntary . People rent overpriced tiny places because they can't afford full priced full sized rooms. If overpriced tiny places were not

Wow. Fortunately you probably can't afford to live in the city, so no one will have to deal with your entitled attitude.

These are rooms to sleep in. If you think these are that bad, try visiting a real slum. It's first world privilege to consider a small clean room in New York City a horrible place.
