Good point. Although I'm in the UK, and so far you can only get LTE on one carrier—and the prices are extortionate.

Before, "good enough" for the iPhone was good enough, as nothing else came close. But with how polished Android has become of late, the bar is much higher, and Apple's "good enough" is no longer at the same level of other players. Siri woes

I was actually shocked when they didn't call the iPhone 5 "the new iPhone", since it was after they'd done so with the iPad.

It's not necessarily stupid—it could be so that your username can be included in URLs (like Twitter). "Lower-case only" is stupid though.

I guess people disclose enough vulns voluntarily that they don't need to offer a bounty as an incentive.

Ah, I can see that now. I know nothing about rabbits; maybe carrot (queuerot?) would have been a better choice.

The name "Celery" made me think of the task queue[1]. In both cases though it's a very random name. [1] http://www.celeryproject.org/

Seriously? You're given an entire library of music for free, all you have to do is put up with the occasional ad between songs.

Does Tesla describe it as a RESTful API , though? By the looks of things, the author has discovered it and decided to call it RESTful himself, even though it's just an HTTP API. A RESTful API is more than just using GET to access resources

I think it's in case Google's auth (or even Google itself!) goes down—Facebook's was down the other day, and if you don't provide alternative sign-in mechanisms, users can't sign in.

Poor title—it should be "why you should AngularJS instead of Ember.js".

When I press "back to top", I want to go there immediately—not after a few seconds of a fancy effect. Once is cool. More than that is annoying. It is fancy though—don't let me dissuade you from similar things.

If you call "having to zoom in to make the text even readable" great and usable, then yes, HN is "responsive".

Yes, but nursing and similar healthcare work is low-pay.

Honestly, this type of pedantry is pointless. We all understood what he meant. English is an evolving language, and many of the things that are "correct" today were similarly "incorrect" yesterday.

Just because the "artistic" values of those two games differ doesn't mean working on FarmVille was "soul destroying". FarmVille is a game with hundreds of thousands of concurrent users, with a constraint to make as much money as possible an

Release it now, it's no use just collecting dust on your hard drive. You can always improve it in the future—think of it being in constant development. "Real artists ship."

Hm, I'm divided on this. It's cool to be able to see what someone works most on... But at the same time, there's the privacy concern of being able to see what someone works most on . I'd like the ability to turn it off—hell, you can alread

I feel the same with regards to my Nike FuelBand. I even asked Nike if they would provide an API[0] (they won't). Fortunately their web app keeps your NikeFuel—Nike's activity metric—for every day (in 15-minute increments) as a global JavaS
