Macbooks and other laptops provide pinch-zoom and other gestures. Maybe phones and tablets could detect a very light touch as hover?

That was one case, but he also seemed to have hired another hitman who pretended to kill multiple people. He seemed to have been addicted to hiring hitmen, eventually it probably would have led to actual murders.

There are many startups with 1 or 2-person teams who fail to raise funding since investors are looking for companies that can become worth $20M+. They might be interested in a cheap sale to someone who would be happy with a solid long-term

There were a whole bunch of articles a while ago about the rise of using SWAT teams for all sorts of arrests. Think from the officers' perspectives - they watch all these movies, they go and become FBI officers, and then they barely ge

I'm not sure it makes sense for every person to create their own blog, especially if they're not going to post frequently. Few people will end up reading anything they write. Instead it may make sense to contribute content to anot

Didn't it multiply by more like 210x since then? So your 10k should be worth $2,100,000. https://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:AAPL

I think I remember reading here that an airport was able to function even after there computers went down since they kept backup printouts of entire flight schedules. Seems like a pretty big contrast.

The mind takes many shortcuts when it reads. It's easy to read "digital nose" as "digital noise" since that's the more common phrase. This is little like how you can read words with their mddile lettres mispacl

Right, neglect is an issue, since most people don't check the new page and links quickly fall off it. I wonder if there might also be a more nefarious problem where say YC alumni down-vote competitors?

Is there also a reverse issue, where posts that should reach the front-page are downvoted or prevented from reaching it for some reason? I.e. how many posts are there that fit with what HN is for and are popular on similar forums online (su

It seems they're still offering a free tier for an app that doesn't need to always be running. But if you need it running more than half the time, you need to pay at least $7/month. Will this affect current customers? I under

I only started the article, but it's too over-the-top to continue. I wonder how you get media to write about your startup like that? > Dropbox has the distinction of being the only cloud service—and perhaps the only startup—ever to

Right, you need to learn by doing and cannot just passively watch a video or read a text. To learn a topic like programming, you need to practice it. So a good format is to combine a text with small questions and coding challenges. If the u

I don't get why MOOCs are so focused on video. I think many people enjoy the relaxed experience of watching a video more than reading, but why ignore people who rather jump right into a text? A text is easier to skim search and referen

I don't think Kickstarter is planning on offering equity. Other sites will, and they'll serve as a screening service so users know which startups are worthy.

Nice idea, but not practical. Before the first intifada, a large number of Gazans worked in Israel. Afterwards, Israel put up security restrictions to prevent terrorism. Hamas also restricts travel to Israel since it's afraid people wi

They're putting a positive spin on it, but it seems Google decided not to focus on Dart, considering all the other javascript's they're invested in.
