I did do a show Hn earlier this week, but it seemed very inefficient to put people through a page that gets them to sign up to create their own documents, I just decided to annotate documents that interest me and post them here for other li

How do we get past the message that asks us to pay? I think that should be the default way of posting behind-paywall content to HN. Doesn't make sense to say "Hey, why don't you pay $12 to check out this post?"

I don't want just me to have these videos, I want them to be on the internet for everybody to have whichever video they want. Just stashing away MY videos is a tad bit selfish but work, no doubt. Also leaves us with no way to discover

Youtube is more than just a tool, it's a store of culture almost. Imagine Youtube suddenly disappeared. A wealth of information and video would be lost, like rare videos which are only on youtube. Sure, someone somewhere will have a co

Currently working on something that will be the first step in this direction. In case you're interested, there's a link in my HN bio.

How is it "well known that a significant percentage of people won't sign up with a social login" ?

I built the log-in before the FB/CA situation and am yet to understand how it may change things. However, I personally think people will move on from this like nothing ever happened (which is sad)

My mission is to breakdown barriers and level the playing field by allowing people to leverage the huge amount of knowledge we have available today to understand the world and subsequently tinker with abstraction. I want to help people make

I'm currently working on a project which has only social login (but allows you to choose between facebook and google) and this was a very deliberate move. For any given person on this planet, there is a higher chance that they use face

I don't know the first thing about music, but this was still fun to play around with. The front end is a work of art. Looks solid and robust. I tried it on my iPhone (in Safari) it made a sort of clicking sound with every "beat&qu

While what the comment states may be factually correct, it is unfair, in my opinion. Classic example of people sitting in their couches at home to point out everything Bill Gates did wrong in an attempt to judge him for the right he's

Okay, there are a lot of comments here about various things but what struck out to me was that on the website it says Woz U will help students "get into the workforce quicker" but their curriculum doesn't really cover any CS.

When you have engineers working for roughly 1/10th the salary, that's what you get.

Build actual websites. Code a lot. Pick a website every week that fits your definition of "modern web design" and try to clone it. This will be exponentially better than joining an online course and reading/watching a video a

You speak for yourself, I hope. Because I (for one) found this useful.

To be fair, you need to find yourself in a situation where raising funds is the easiest thing on your "to-do" list. Raising funds will revolve around whether or not your product resonates with your target user segment and how many

AI and Machine learning, while important technologies, are at a high risk of becoming a buzzword (if they haven't already). To what extent do you agree with the fact that the end output or experience matters more than the tools (like A

Does it matter? The purpose of these guidelines IMO is to improve the standards of EdTech products and perhaps the value they create for education as a whole.

This is fantastic. But this sounds like it's mostly intended for startups at an early/mid stage. What I mean is companies who already run a monopoly are more likely, in my opinion, to overlook these guidelines.

Any time Microsoft is criticized for making the most boring tech out there, and looking like an uninspired company, there's always one person to hit back at Apple (and more often than not, the iPhone/iOS)
