Incredible that this is the first time in 13 years that Apple hasn't posted quarterly growth. I'm sure there will be lots of "Apple has lost its ability to innovate" articles based on this, but growing for the last ~52

I wonder if that just shows that having the both the open bullpen and quiet space as dueling options is ineffective. FOMO is extremely strong in everyone, so even though engineers might prefer and be more productive in a quiet space, they&#

Just out of curiosity, do you know how Craigslist sources it's real estate listings? Does it integrate with the MLS or do agents list there separately?

Looks like a great app and would love to try it, one thing to note is that searching "Solo" in the iOS app store returns a bunch of various guitar apps, I couldn't find it without including "share moments alone".

I've always been a big fan of Motley Fool, particularly their podcasts, and I think it's for the same reason I like this article: their contributors seem to value honesty, to point of self-deprecation, over the desire to appear s

What surprised me the most about PG's essay was his use of tiny small sample size to make a broad statement about an entire field of study. He puts together an interesting argument about the pros and cons of ancient Greek philosophy an

I usually find the HackerNews police too strict, and I really like the New Yorker, but I can't think of what relevance this specific article has to the HackerNews community...

One important contrast that I don't think this article makes is that there is a big difference between Facebook Organic Reach and Facebook Targeted Ads. While Organic Reach is going down, Targeted Ads is going up, especially on mobile.

Very refreshing read for a few reasons: - The use of specific examples, rather than broad generalizations. - Explaining that the intent and attitude of the potential offender makes a huge difference (ie. Feld vs. hand in pants dude). - Ackn

Definitely a good point, particularly that bitcoin will have credit mechanisms built on top of it. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that the point of bitcoin is that any credit mechanism built on top of it wouldn't have the same probl

I like that this is at least opening up to the possibility of new, more efficient transaction methods. Marc Andreessen made me think about credit cards differently after hearing him on a Freakonomics podcast: "And so one way to think a

I've never read an O'Reilly book but have obviously heard of them, are they generally effective at communicating more than general principles? If I regularly read blog posts and essays written about Bitcoin, would this book be wor

It totally blows my mind that Wordpress powers (or claims to power) 19% of the web. I had never used it until this year (after using other CMSs like SquareSpace and Statamic) and wanted to blow my brains out. I really wonder how the CMS lan

cool! I had to get 5 interns spun up on a few dev environments last summer and this definitely would have made it easier. I can also see this being useful for sharing output like logs or errors. I'm sure as the developer you've th

All true ideas, none particularly helpful. No one reads this and thinks: "Wait, I can be happier if I work on something I'm passionate about and get paid for it?! I had no idea!" The problem is that its really hard to 1) ide

Right I think that in a lot of ways it's actually an advantage to do CS at a Liberal Arts school. The key point to this article seems to be that you can always learn to code regardless of what you've learned in the past.
