From the article... The company’s vice president of marketing Joe Reiss told me in an interview that any dosage received by a human from these backscatter vans would be "exceedingly small," far smaller than a medical x-ray. He says that th

kottke.org is one of the most popular daily-updated blogs and was recently redesigned. Today, Jason posted some stats (highlighted below). I think the stats on Tumblr and Twitter engagement was interesting, too. - Overall traffic to kottke.

I have a background in IT and am not a teacher, but I am deeply interested in learning more about educational technology. I think it's important to understand the history of "education reform" and what has succeeded and what has failed in t

Very interesting post. I've been getting more into educational technology (I have school aged children and recently became co-chair of the tech committee at their school). I've been thinking of a "Hacker News for Education" for some time, s

I use paper + pencil to track my Simple Fit workouts now and have never used a voice-controlled app for fitness. A few questions: 1. Have you considered adding a demo video? Although your screen shots are well done, I'd love to see the app

Interesting recap and I was glad that you mentioned Mixpanel since I didn't think Google Analytics was capable of capture stats like Avg. Searches per User. Feedback: * The green on black is very harsh to my eyes. Have you considered altern

Two comments. 1. Get rid of the "mystery meat" navigation. Save the experimental features (fade in/out, huge text, high contrast colors, etc) for an experimental site -- not your professional resume. 2. Convert your resume to HTML. If someo

I really like this quote: Bingo Card Creator is not terribly complicated software when compared to most applications, but it sits on top of other pieces of code (Rails, the web server the browser, the TCP/IP stack, the underlying OS, the h

I wouldn't read so much into this. It's a personal anecdote about the entrepreneurial spirit being encouraged in a young kid. All good parents want their kids to reach their own personal maximum potential. It doesn't sound like Mr. Robfitz

That's awesome. I have a 9 year old son right now (4 kids total ranging from ages 16 to 4 years old) and think this is a great story. Thanks for sharing!

Rob - how old were you when this started and how long did this venture last?

wow - I really like this and would be interested in beta testing for a small store that I'm involved with. Online sales is something we've wanted to do, but never had a good enough store front. In general: * ebay - big, bloated, complicated

Thanks! I've been doing some scraping projects lately and really like it a lot. There's a pretty steep learning curve, but it gets easier and easier as you go along, I think. 1. Caching pages is definitely a great idea while debugging. Espe

You are welcome :) 1. I meant to ask how you might be able to streamline/automate your monthly reports like BCC has done. 2. What is your idea generation process? If that really is the sticking point, then consider reducing the friction or

Chris - your posts are one of the highlights of Hacker News for me. A few comments/suggestions: 1. It would be great if you could organize your revenue/expenses a bit more. Something like BCC Stats [1] would be great. Perhaps just take the
