The thing is, food and shelter are the only two beginning rights humans had - if you can call them rights. Clothing wasn't around the entire time humans were, in fact some tribes and pockets of humanity don't wear clothing or at l

Well, pointless busywork was a staple of my high school and under days of math. Once I got to college, I had a professor for Calculus I that said our grade was the four tests + the final or just the final - whichever grade was higher. Havin

Even a wget on HN will do the same. I did it for shits and gigs one time and found my IP banned before it finished running.

That's not the writer's intention though - that's what you want the intention to be. And that's not really fair. The point is probably an entertaining biopic aimed at mass-market success, not a how-to on building a succe

This looks great. I'm working on something for iOS that does security on both ends, encryption on the phone before being sent to a server where it is encrypted again using different salts/keys. I'd like to use things like thi

A coworker and I have written some gesture recognizers for Leap in C# and Objective-C hoping to make the thing more usable and easier for other developers to write software using it. Hate to do a shameless plug, but both can be found here:

Imagine if a site did that haha. "We've been tracking you, you're a regular. Here's 5% off for spending ~13min per day on our website from IP 192.168.0.1"

I disagree with the main part of your sentiment. I think they're already there after they've filled in billing/shipping info, so seeing the blank coupon code field is actually not a deterrent at that point. It's just as

No. It'll either help you more or hinder you more. Make it a nonfactor by not putting one on there. They'll validate your merits without doing that. It's okay to put one on a portfolio - HR and future bosses don't look a

Plus: girls and things that aren't CS. Creativity needs outside experiences and knowledge not in your domain to flourish. Go to college - it's one of the easiest places to get a large breadth of that stuff.

How many people have a picture with their contact information for friends and family? My guess is a metric fuckton. Since they're allowed to access "contact information" then a few cross references of a different picture of y

Like selling things on eBay? Or are we talking about something a little more fine-tuned: Using the listening ports of a computer on the network to facilitate the selling of goods/services for commercial reasons. Is a business license t

I couldn't disagree more. It's not beneath anybody, and people ask for help all the time - some things that seem daunting or difficult are actually easy and vice versa. You prescribe too much to others' personalities without

It's because everyone says "time is money" but not one single person actually believes it. Mechanics make tangible shit happen, sometimes using new parts, etc. Software isn't tangible.

As far as I know, he has expertise in launching innovative technology at scale - something the Post desperately needs to stay afloat. Removing the politics of the business and replacing with innovation would do the whole country some good.
