I'm seeing a lot of cases where someone writes a small post to their site and posts it as a story (or even a comment!) on HN just to get publicity for the site. So it might not always be purely for karma. Though I'm pretty new here, so this

In support of that consensus view: I found that running Android 2.2 with HTC Sense on my Droid Incredible caused it to be noticeably less responsive than running a stock 2.2 rom (without HTC Sense), even though I wasn't using any of the Sen

The android market is already used as a 'lever' to establish (relatively loose) requirements on phone specs. Your device must be certified before you may include the Market: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/03/android-devices-crave...

I don't think its quite the same as sketching, as art has no purpose except itself, whereas a website would be expected to do something. I'd think differently if he was just creating a new site layout every day.

The title reminded me of this article, which doesn't really have anything to do with the OP but I felt like sharing: http://www.economist.com/node/15108690?story_id=15108690 "The funny thing is, with the passage of time, something does ha

Imagine a sideways pressure on either of the wheels. Pretty much instant collapse. A spoked wheel has an important property which is not immediately apparent to people who have not worked on them. Every spoke is contributing to maintaining

Not sure how the rear wheel won't be getting sheared off. Same with those cranks -- a single bolt like that for each arm looks like it wouldn't be tight enough. And that bottom bracket doesn't look terribly serviceable. Where's the front br

Isn't this just going to produce a bunch of incomplete crap? Notable that the announcement page itself is displaying a broken html tag (as of this writing). Might be more useful to think of a real project you've been meaning to do, splittin

The few possessions I don't use regularly also happen to be the ones that are the easiest to move. Not to mention these sorts of things tend to already be in a box in my closet, practically packed and ready to go. Aside from the negligible

Woah woah woah, a there's a movement for this? I think I'll go found a movement based on coupon shopping. Be one with the discount.

If you're interested in biking more often, the easiest way is to ensure that you live a short distance from where you work. Then, at least when its nice out, it'll be easy to make your commute more interesting.
