I've been using Session Buddy (www.sessionbuddy.com) for a few months now. It (optionally) automatically indexes your open tabs during a browsing session under their respective windows. You can go back later and label or augment these sessi

Obtainable but challenging products I would pay for: Transportation: 1. A two-seat, 80+ mi/charge, <= $5,000, autonomous EV. Should be simple and modular enough for self-assembly (basically Ikea for EVs). Insurance for this would be n

I can't say why everyone who's homeless is so, but I can say why many mentally ill people are. In order to qualify for government assistance if you do suffer from mental illness, you must realize you actually are mentally ill. This is the b

This is a false dilemma. Authors don't have to use iBooks software to author ebooks and users don't have to use iBooks to read ebooks on the iPad (and they probably don't because it's really buggy). Problem solved.

I thought Max Tegmark's commentary on why we haven't discovered extraterrestrial life yet was reasonable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GctnYAYcMhI Basically he purposes that there is either a barrier somewhere before our point of biolog

Don't you think getting a loan to buy something you couldn't have been able to afford in the first place is irresponsible? With that said, tuition is artificially high because of these readily available student loans, reducing the pressure

I feel the same way. It wasn't until now that I realized my learning "hitlist" was really a histogram at heart. However, instead of tick marks I use list item comments. I also have to add that formatting my notes well (I use html) is essent

gun.io gets linked on HN often, but I didn't know it was a service. Thanks for the link, this was what I had in mind essentially.

If you don't suffer from chronic depression but are depressed, you may be burnt out. I feel a person starts the cycle of burnout by forgetting that excellence is a habit, not an act. It's easy to fixate on the magnitude of individual iterat

I think this site is targeting the youtube generation--nothing wrong with that. I personally would prefer to see higher caliber technical books enter the market. However, it seems the acclaim here concerns more the site design than the serv

Thanks for responding, I ask because I'm currently mentoring a friend who's trying to learn and I'm curious to see what works for others. When I was learning programming I did more or less the same thing, but also found choosing the right t

You're right, it's hard here to tell if their product is driving the growth or if it's their marketing. It would be nice if iubenda does something similar a few months after they exit private beta to show us what numbers are real and what i

1) What file sizes can you realistically expect to upload? Please don't say any size. 2) What's the storage limit? 3) How long will it be free? If always, how are you making money? 4) Are all books uploaded public? 5) What file formats are

Decrease your screen brightness and invert its color. Remember to blink. Drinking lots of water will help keep your eyes hydrated and force you to take breaks away from your computer to go to the bathroom. Try to make a habit of zooming con

I've used GWT. It's no cure all, but it has its place and time. It's too early to judge Dart.

I disagree. I feel we shouldn't have to have an extra step to share what we search for. The act of searching can be sharing and also in itself what people search. I do agree facebook is the wrong medium to achieve this though, google maybe;

For future viewers, I asked around and it appears payment services in general do claim the power to run credit checks as a legal buffer/protection but aren't done in a compulsory manner.

I'm referring mostly to the use of services like paypal, not credit issuers or services further down the pipeline. Do you know why a merchant's credit history is even an issue? A merchant would be accepting payments, not making them. There
