So, if I run a car rental company, and people start stealing cars, is it my job to recover the cars or filter out the criminals? After all, I could write algorithms that used more and more information to determine criminality.

The page contains a full description of the Hyperloop and a link to a PDF with technical details. You're linking to your own HN story, which has fewer comments, and fewer details in the actual story. (Also, why not link directly to the

The giant "POWERED BY FIREBASE" section on the game's page is your hint.

Agreed, the scientific claims are simply baffling. Science aside, the post comes across as a thinly-veiled attempt to brag about the founder. Press logos up top, followed by 'green buzzwords'. Then, a photo of the founders from th

Jon—two questions. 1. Why does your site disable my back button? 2. When are you shipping? I'm interested.

Did I miss something? Where does RescueTime come into this? And yes, when they launched, people had the same worry about the server. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=80182 "I don't really look forward to

Yeah, you're right. I meant to type "days" but for some reason typed "weeks".

Bitinstant isn't any more a scam than Mt. Gox is. They're just both services that are run by folks who weren't expecting to hit the scale they are now, have no experience building financial systems, and are waaaay in over the

Generally we see about a two to four week rollover time between DotA 2 Test and the main DotA 2.

Well, the whole blog design is very gray-area 'theft' of Medium's design.

I really don't get how this could be the case. I built something similar to this for my startup; it didn't have a pretty UI we could let our marketing team use, but it also didn't cost nearly $0.10/text - it cost $0.01&#

Serious question—why would I use DuckDuckGo to use StartPage to use Google? If I was really privacy conscious, I could go straight to StartPage. If I didn't really care, I could go straight to Google. Where does DDG fit in?

Interesting. This is why Macs have the webcam light hardware-enabled; if the webcam goes on, the green light goes on. That way, at least you know it's started recording.

I wouldn't look so deep into it. They got one tech blog to pick up the story, not 'press'. If you e-mail the tips@(techcrunch/thenextweb/theverge) e-mail with your startup launch, it's actually pretty easy to get the blogs to syndicate your

I'm a mod of /r/business, and we had an American Express takeover. It was much more than just two block ads. Full banner, etc. Didn't last that long and our users really didn't seem to mind (or notice.)

Promising in what way? It shows that Bitcoin is gaining more popular attention, which is translating into increased sales for Coinbase. The issue is that Coinbase has some serious flaws that make it immensely unappealing to any serious Bitc

You only need to get approved if you're going over $10,000 USD monthly. If you were doing that much in BTC trading each month, I doubt you'd use an unreliable platform like Coinbase to start with.

Why so much negativity? This post is months old—the designer never came back and complained, the answerer is a woman, not a man. :)

Wow, that's confusing branding. Same name and very similar icon to a popular finance analytics product, Mint.

There's a lot of good discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5202381 (original LeChat announcement) I'm pleased to see that Qwl has a different stance on XMPP than the 'lechat' user posted in the thread.

I can't tell if this is placebo or not, but my YouTube was loading extremely slowly pre-fix (on Comcast) and now is zipping along quickly.

I like the Stations on Rdio, actually. I've found some cool artists through the Echo Nest-powered discovery stuff they have.

But you're chat for developers! You're never going to be able to offer the level of customization people get out of Adium/Messages/their chat client of choice. Facebook took this approach with Facebook Chat but eventually offered XMPP. Curi

Does this work with XMPP? Also, any chance of Pivotal Tracker integration? I've tried HipChat, Jaconda, Hall, Skype, etc... still trying to find something that works well for our team at Getaround.

BetaPunch is a funny company. They have web recording software they've licensed and find 'testers' exclusively from reddit.com/r/beermoney. Danielle mentions that she 'hopes this is a social media intern' - BetaPunch is certainly a one-man

You have it wrong. The man behind _why deleted his online presence because he grew tired of the persona and everything around it. At that point, people began searching for _why. This culminated in a Slate article that openly divulged his id

Maybe the ten-year old wanted to propose an idea to solve an immediate problem she saw rather than trying to come up with a holistic strategy to re-do transportation and city planning. I think this is a great. She came up with her own quest
