It's cute, but isn't it just showing the same text over and over again?

I think it's more likely the problem is in your phone(s), not T-Mobile's network, because if it was in the network chances are many people would experience this problem. Easiest way to troubleshoot would be for one of you to move your SIM t

You might start by reading this: http://www.amazon.com/The-Emperor-All-Maladies-Biography/dp/... .. there isn't one thing called "cancer", there are at least thousands of different varieties that have different genetic profiles, different

Gender reassignment surgery is relatively uncommon. Most people stick with the gender they're born with, I'm not sure why you would expect Wikipedians to be different.

All of your examples concern people solving their own problems, not solving other people's problems, or providing infrastructure/tools for solving other people's problems. People who "read their own legal papers" should be commended for the

The "average user" shouldn't be trying to do law any more than they should be trying to do their own plumbing or wiring or surgery. Should "average lawyers" just hack around for awhile in Visual Basic and then complain that a fully featured

This is approximately equivalent to writing a program that would read poetry or literature and explain what's going on, including allusions, metaphors, snarky inside references, etc. Or, framed differently - if law is code, it's linked agai

Stop worrying about achievement and have fun. Build omething you enjoy building. Learn what you need in order to build it. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I'd be a lot more impressed with that if they actually disclosed the identity of the requestors and the content they wanted searched/suppressed, at least as much as would be legally possible.

I don't think it's a good sign for several reasons: 1. It's impolite to just drop a document on someone and say "sign this now." If they're serious about this, they should have given it to you in advance of the meeting so you could have you

Who would make money if this existed? Who would lose money? I have a hard time articulating a concrete benefit for Microsoft that would result from a gateway.

Have you seen those posts where someone asks "I want to make an LLC/corporation, I don't have any $ so I'm not using an attorney, what's the best way to do this myself?" This is one of the reasons why that is a mistake. You don't get to dec

You don't. You find a good attorney and let them do it.

I can think of a lot of obstacles: 1. Competitive intelligence - do I want my competitors to know exactly how busy I am, and when? No, I don't. 2. Pricing - do I want to give someone else a cut of all of my sales? No, I don't. I don't mind

My office is in San Jose, which likes to call itself the capital of Silicon Valley. The best connectivity I can get is either a consumer-grade DSL connection for approx $60/month, or a symmetric T1 for approx $500/month. I can't get Comcast

Also, what computer books should attorneys read? Obviously, if an attorney had a big IT project they should hire a professional, but they could probably get a good head start if they read a few computer books for background, right?

I haven't watched the video, but viewers should understand that the Federalist Society, organizers of this convention, are firmly on the right wing of the political spectrum. That doesn't make them right or wrong, but this isn't an insight

I would go with Fastmail if you want someone else to host it - but if your email is very important to you, you should be running your own server, or hosting with someone you know and trust on a personal basis. Anything else is susceptible t

The industry term for what you're (approximately) looking for is CNAM, a search on that should be fruitful.

You should wait - not because you should worry about YC, but because your discussion of incorporation reveals that you are a noob with respect to those topics. That's OK, you wouldn't expect an expert in tax or corporate law to understand y

I don't think this will become widespread. As an employer, I don't want to have to support a variety of hardware/software/OS combinations which might be provided by employees; I don't want to depend on employees to maintain their equipment

In the early days, the FSF sold magtapes with GNU software on them - the charge wasn't for the IP, it was for the material and labor required to copy the tape(s). See http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~trent/gnu/bull/16/gnu_bulletin_28.h... for a s

Misleading headline much? The domain wasn't "yanked", it expired after the nonprofit failed to respond to emails warning of expiration. Then, they waited until the redemption period had expired, too, before deciding they still wanted the na

My experience is that people hang on to business cards and correspondence/marketing material for a LONG time - years or decades. My impression is that most people don't know how, aren't able to, or generally won't retain digital information

It's not clear which parts of AWS you're thinking of using. If the Javascript is client-side only, then you could host this on a combination of S3/Cloudfront pretty easily. A full EC2 instance seems like overkill if this is a simple static
