Wow - lots of great encouragement and you should heed that if you are inclined to give it another try. As an alternate view - you might like to consider that some people seem to have an aptitude for programming but that most people do not.

First off I am not an accountant but (as usual) the downside is overstated to gee up the audience. Yes there would be a VAT (Sales tax to those outside the EU) liability where goods or services were supplied - and that would need to be take

Not at all sure that 4G/LTE is fit for purpose yet (UK anyway) - but maybe within the lifetime of the phone (2 years?)

Currently running Android 4.2 - my UK network supplier is pretty good about piping updates to the phone. The early 4.1 kept eating the battery but 4.2 is OK as long as I switch of wifi when out and about.

Not sure there is enough there to get me to upgrade my Nexus S but then again mobile phones have reached a plateau of maturity for the moment and I can't see any "must have" features around the corner.

The answer to the question starts to become clearer when you can define what "best" means. If "best" means - looks and works perfectly on an iPhone (or latest Android version) then native it is. If "best" means - shortest way to develop an

Is HN the place to post a link to a beginners JavaScript post? And - oh joy - a blocking pop up with a fiddly exit on the page as well.

I think that the reddit style [NSFW] tag was in poor taste. This is either a suitable post for HN News or it is not. If we have descended to posting juvenile crap then we are in deep trouble - equally, if we do not understand the nature of

I am confused. The site headlines "Set up a product tour" - but then it looks like a set of fancy tool tips and jQuery UI covers a lot of that ground.

First suggestion. You are asking for help - so please provide a clickable link to your web site. like this: http://www.sillytrader.com/ Then make it clear just what sort of feedback you want. Site design, business model, service concept e

This is an interesting project that deserves to reach it's funding goal but progress towards that is slow (I have been keeping an eye on it since launched on Kickstarter). I suspect the problem is that it has no compelling (and immediate) "

The post itself (billed as "the one you need to read today") was exceedingly thin and mostly gobbledygook but there you go. A link to http://knappsack.com/ is worth attention. If it gets around the problems of sharing iOS apps while under

I looked at the link page. The CSS was perfectly sensible (and available) and the JavaScript just looked like it had been run through something like Closure. Perhaps they have yet to eat their own dog food?

The devil will be in the detail of the act I suppose. This presumably assumes that a free market for those shares exists or that a fair method for valuing them is put in place - otherwise it is just an income boost for lawyers.

there is a solution for French entrepreneurs (particularly in the context of software and services) - move across the channel to the UK and run your business from there. Easy to pop home for the weekends and there is already a very large Fr

Phew - some "straw men" there don't you think? It is the entrepreneurs who do the 70 hour weeks (no 35 hour limits for the boss/owner). Start a company with €100 and grow it to be worth €500,000 on exit - that is an almost total capital gai

This is not just an "end user" problem it is a developer problem. Our "hyper local" app looks (and is) terrible on iOS6 but runs just fine on iOS5 (with Google mapping). iOS was the choice for the lead mobile platform but with iOS6 take up

Wow! 7% for the person who actually creates the start-up. Generous to a fault I would say.

This looks like a roundabout way of posting technical questions to HN. This was (probably) properly posted to StackOverflow but not here.

Worth reading just for the link to LINQPad http://www.linqpad.net/ which I had previously not been aware of - but read http://blog.filipekberg.se/2012/09/17/use-linqpad-for-more-t... first

If they are good guys then they are aware that 2 weeks would give them enough time to see if you can do the job or not - very fair and sensible. If they are bad guys then they know that once you accept a 2 week contract then you will probab

I remember doing something very similar (recognition of a short list of words) on a Sinclair Spectrum 30+ years ago. Fun to do.
