Is $80,000 a realistic amount of money to launch a project as ambitious as this one? With multiple employees and a large need for hardware and manufacturing, I don't see how this is enough to kickstart the product.

Zen coding syntax is fantastic, it makes generating HTML in my editor a breeze. Stick to ">". That's the standard CSS for indicating a child element. e.g. "div.myclass > h1" indicates a div with class "myclass" and a child h1 eleme

I'd explicitly state the license to be blunt, obvious, and avoid any confusion.

Drew's gem doesn't specify a license. It may be open source, but it's not clear what the license is. That doesn't help in this kind of a situation.

WordPress has BuddyPress ( http://buddypress.org/ ) for social networking. I don't believe it allows interconnecting with other installations.

If 99% of your friends keep their data in Facebook, you're still dependent on Facebook.

What problem is this solving? I know users of social media who are unhappy with what they're using. But I've never heard my mom or any other Facebook user for that matter say: "You know what I want? A decentralized social network where I

If so, that would be incredible. More than once I've found myself wanting to search a repository for a specific word or variable without downloading it and acking through it.

Doesn't involving another third-party vendor add an additional point of failure to the system?

It's been long enough since I've been on digg that I don't have the same email address. I'd much prefer if they provided the data to the internet archive rather than one-by-one providing information to users.

If you have a policy with an insurance company, they should honor it rather than going out of their way to take advantage of a customer. That's the point here.

They've made the build tools modular using grunt. Considering that they have custom download options for jQuery UI and recently added a tool for jQuery Mobile ( http://jquerymobile.com/download-builder/ ), I expect it won't be many more mon

I like the use of colors in the redefined design, but will it work for people with color-blindness?

It's targeted primarily at enterprises and only gets updated (aside from security patches) every 7 releases (42 weeks).

by calvin 14y ago
I can't speak to why they upgraded without asking you. However, 3.6 has been end-of-lifed and will no longer receive security updates. You'll be much better off using the Extended Support Release. Mozilla doesn't make it easy to find the

Amazon Wireless already exists, but not in the sense you're describing. They sell phones and plans on the existing carriers. http://wireless.amazon.com/

I can think of a lot of reasons this approach won't work well for most of the sites I work on (other than a few blogs). 1) Combining jQuery with other JavaScript at build time (to reduce HTTP requests). At built-time, we don't know which b

I don't think any knowledgeable front-end engineer would build a page in quirks mode, but a surprising number of existing sites have large swaths of pages without a doctype.

A lot of good changes in here. The modularity will improve usability -- particularly for sites who want the core jQuery features without all the extras. My hope is this will make it easier to use jQuery on mobile -- and more comparable to

Agreed. It looks nice, but it has poor usability. I tried common things like clicking the edge of the page, scrolling on my trackpad, and using keyboard arrows, but none of them worked to scroll it. Having to find and move a scrollbar to

I found a previous discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3556796 I used HN Search, looked for "SSL Certificates", and sorted by Points. Thanks for the tip.

Ask HN: Where do you buy your SSL certificates?

You're right about apps being popular and continually growing in importance. However, you're talking about a task (creating/updating a CV) that takes a lot of manual work and editing. It could certainly be automated to a large extent by gr
