lots of knowledgeable comments being made here already so clearly this is an interesting area but - what is the use case for this? I don't understand why I might need it.

as it says on Reddit - there does not seem to be anything here.

Yet another site with a page blanking "pop-up" demanding participation long before you have any opportunity to evaluate what is on offer. My tolerance of this is zero. I do not read the page - potential audience size -1.

Yes - the point I was trying to make was the "pitch" needs to be to the enterprise while the functionality needs to meet the needs of the developers/support people who would actually use it. I think that this is a tough thing to get right.

Selling tools to tool builders is a tricky proposition. Apps like these sell to enterprises (large and small). You are almost certainly talking to the wrong people (although I am sure potential users looked like the right people to start wi

The edited title gets it wrong (when the original was correct). last of a particular sub-species dies - there are still lots of others.

The problem with writing Operating Systems for general purpose hardware (such as the PC) is that it is expected to work with just about any components - no matter where they are sourced. Sure there are "reference" specs but at the end of th

Fair point: If you want to disrupt an industry which is entrenched by the legal/regulatory system - you have to find ways around it. Think education, health, law ... Any more? In fact from the list of the oldest professions only the "oldest

My current app involves location and mapping using multiple co-ordinate systems - so trigonometry on a curved surface for starters.

Don't forget sales taxes as well. Depending upon where you are you are probably paying something like 20% VAT (TAV or whatever) - quoted in the consumer price. In the USA, they have the annoying habit of excluding sales tax (presumably on t

You posted your question in just the right place. Methinks HN is the wrong place. I hope you solve your problem.

This is silly - if it is published on the web then the text is in the public domain. Side-stepping the suggested restrictions is trivial for anyone with any web skills - so they will just upset the rest - presumably those the web site is in

Not exactly streaming out of the showrooms are they? They remain very much a toy but maybe one day someone will be able to build one that will work on a practical day to day basis. I feel there is a lot of mileage (pun intended) in the "die

It might be "over" for those eager to hype the "next big thing" but for the rest of us it is only just happening. We now have services as reliable as any we could run in house available to us. Even when my start-up is big enough to need in

You need a few points yourself first (no idea what the threshold is). Post some interesting items or join in the debates in the "comments". I think you can probably see that this is a guard against "sock puppets" being used to promote spam

Its actually OpenID and users can use more accounts than just a Google one. Everyone should support OpenID and OAuth with a site specific sign up as a reluctant fall-back.

Time deadlines from a solicitor - or anyone else other than a judge are meaningless. They are intended to get a rushed reaction - take plenty of time. It costs them money to start a case don't forget - so they wont rush in the normal course

First off - don't panic - take the weekend off and enjoy it - even if you are a republican ;) Solicitors send threatening letters - that's how they earn a good deal of their money. Relax - phone around next week (when and only if an actual

I would seek to change the social security payment system and rates. As a "Libéral professionnel" (I think it was) - when my rate grew to 62% of gross turnover I closed down my business and re-started as a UK registered company. Otherwise t

Interesting - the text with regard to the licensing changed between my first and subsequent visit - now clearly licensed as you say.

On the face of it a very nice editor - good work. some confusion on licenses - MIT is available but with a caveat and I don't think you can do that.

Nope - they improved existing technology - such things were in use more than 30 years ago.

It would probably have been something to do with under-age girls (provided they were of the right caste of course). OK the guy invented a new style of political revolution but by modern day standards we would have found his morals and racis

Take a good look at OpenID and oAuth - that way you can offer secure sign up / login without having to manage user passwords - well unless you offer that as an additional option.

by bdfh42 14y ago
No money involved here and (as you are an HN type) you will be using a unique password. Accessing HN from your own devices, then you will probably stay logged in - so not much to "sniff". Additional security would be all pain with very litt

You think this is bad? Wait until Apple bring out a new iPhone car charger or something... Point is you can't duck the pop vox of the moment - just try and ignore it - it will go away in time.
