I like your ideas. They should be explored more. I think the big danger is that, in this model, currency continues to exist in the ether. Without something in one's hands, a financially strapped nation might avoid this type of system.

Does anyone know is this is constitutionally legal?

The article is too dense and the font too tiny. Anyone have a two sentence synopsis? However, I love the pixel art. We need more pixel art in this world!

Sure, but when you want to know what every other techhead is looking at, TechMeme is the only place to go.

I never realized that TechMeme was completely algorithmic. I assumed some of it was, but I thought editors were helping out as well. Color me very impressed!

Lesson learned? If a file is in the path that the webserver reads from, it could be compromised! By default, you should never have directory listing turned on. If you have it on, you are just looking for trouble. (Want free MP3s? Google has

We get always get so worked up everytime we see someone playing with a new media to advertise in. Teens are hammered with advertising left and right all their life from every direction, I hardly think a tiny ad for a local dentist is going

We have billions to spend to fix problems greedy bankers caused, but teachers have to still dig into their own pockets to buy supplies. It's a truly sad and disappointing situation.

Great concept, but the article lacks any teeth. And the links don't work. Anyone have better links -- is Michelin really developing this seriously?

Always wondered what the '???????' between 'Create service' and 'Profit' was. Now I know!

Before I looked at the system, I thought: "Yep, they all start off simple". But then I noticed you were offering it as a service. It's a unique model and I can see a place for it in the market. G'luck.

Great suggestions. Don't forget that you might be eating well now, but things can happen. And generosity now can circle back to help you when you really need it. Fun doesn't have to be expensive, neither does food. Creativity counts, and as

A similar realization hits me pretty strong at least once a week: I'm a white male living in the United States. I'm in my 30s and I'm living through the heart of a technical revolution. I'm doing what I love -- freelance hacking. I can (and

The guy submitting this is in the top 10 Y!H submitters. So either he finds it relevant or is a karma whore. I like to give the benefit in general, so I'm going to go with the former.

How does this compare to iTunes?

I've never ran anti-virus, even when I was using Windows. I've always been very careful about what I downloaded, what I allow to get root permissions, backing up, etc. People always want to know why I haven't looked at their email attachmen

It's not tough to write a virus for OS X, the hard part is getting root so that you can do some real damage.

The walled garden has given Apple enormous powers. It also gives some of us developers visibility that we couldn't otherwise get. And it makes things consistent and simple for the end-user. It's a tough call.

This whole thing just doesn't taste right. I feel like our community is being taken advantage of with the whole 'AskHN' thing when I see this type of offer. This isn't about iTunes apps, it's about how you position the product for the commu

I'm in agreement with Github having a free/trial private repo. It's a huge oversight.

Awesome, you are in a good place if you love your work. And because you love it, it'll continue to pay dividends for you.

It would be cool to learn more about how you budget it, assuming you pay for some kind of housing. My rent is more than $15k/year.

I dunno what's going on, but this link sent my FF3 into the nut house, with windows flicking across the desktop and creating new windows. I'm flagging it.
