This is pretty cool and I would totally use/pay for this if it was in a more usable format. Counting calories works like magic, but it’s a total pain as the author outlines. Does anyone know if something like this exists that doesn’t r

Making cabinets and speaking the language of a culture that is necessary to succeed are not the same thing at all. Yes they are both skills but the similarity ends there. Do you think a Japanese person who doesn’t speak English could build

As a vegetarian, I couldn’t agree more. All this does is make people think vegans are assholes. If you’re that concerned and strict about these things, don’t go to BK! I think it’s great that they offer a meat free alternative. As the sayin

Im so tired of these comments on HN. Some people want a laptop they can pull apart and fix themselves. Those people should buy something else. when I was younger and had more time than money, I used to upgrade RAM and the SSD myself. Then I

Do you actually own a 2015 and had it taken away? I own a 2015 mbp and fly with it all the time - no issues. (flown probably 12 times since the ban, primarily United)

I see a lot of calls here for facebook to follow suit. I run a facebook advertising agency and use their tools every day (including the political advertising tools) and would like to offer some perspective on the potential nuances here. Whe

You seem to be searching for an empiracle argument that is devoid of all context and I’m not sure you’re going to get it. Simply look at the situation and see if it passes a basic common sense test: Coke produces billions of plastic bottles

Hello, looks interesting! I am a currently user of basecamp, could you tell me why I might want to switch? (Other than price, I don’t really care about price I care about the right tool). Cheers!

I’m a former product manger, currently running a successful marketing agency. Agency mostly runs itself so looking for new opportunities. If anyone is looking for a non-code-writing-but-understands-tech co-founder that can handle business&#

Exactly my point. Facebook is a powerful organization in which one person exerts a lot of control. If said person “goes bad” that would be very bad for everyone. Fortunately for us, Mark Zuckerberg isn’t going to “go bad” which is exactly m

I’m curious why you think that. I find Mark Zuckerberg to be measured, reasonable, thoughtful and I believe him to genuinely care about the values he espouses. Personally I could not think of anyone I would rather have run Facebook. With su

It sounds like the new rules will force a new market equilibrium. When you didn’t have to pay taxes and the money was fast, cheap and untraceable there was probably excess supply of labor. Now that you do have to pay taxes, supply may go do

This is really not a good argument. OP ran into a random edge case bug, and, being a power user, decided to do what power users do: tinker and google. What OP could have done, which you most definitely could not do in 2000 with Linux, is go

“But when he thinks "walk", it sets off a chain of instructions to move his legs” Not to poo poo this achievement but the ability to imitate a single, non-specific command with a brain implant has been around for years (decades?)

I currently live in San Francisco. I’m moving in January after 1 year. The premium I pay to live here is insane, yet the city elects to tolerate a totally unacceptable Level of crime, drug use and general squalor. I don’t think we should lo

Despite the clearly conservative leanings of this article (and I consider myself a moderate liberal) on this issue I whole-heartedly agree. I live in San Francisco, and to be quite honest the city is a disgrace. At what point do we draw the

I haven’t jail broken a phone since the 3G, I just don’t see a compelling reason to anymore. The reason I did it then was to get around the tethering restrictions that att had at the time, but now I can’t really think of any features that I

At first glance, I thought this theory didn’t hold up to logical sense because ideally the cigarette companies would just switch to selling vapes and dominate that market as well (like Altria buying juul). But then I realized actually this

Would you care to explain? I’m a renter and I find it be a great arrangement. I have no interest in owning the property that I reside in. I can move anytime I want, I don’t have to fix anything and I can park my money in things that return

Totally disagree. Complicate is not the same thing as following the spirit of the rules. Compliance is proving you followed the rules. Totally different. Also, you have to define what you mean by “respecting privacy”. Something that I do on

The way I see it is this: both an impossible burger and a real beef patty are not good for you. I don’t eat meat for a whole bunch of reasons (health being one but not the only reason). So when I want to “splurge” and eat something unhealth

I see this argument a lot for the non-existence of a higher power, god whatever. But it’s based on the (I think false) presumption that in order for a higher power to exist, that power must necessarily intend for humans on an individual bas

Wow this is pretty shocking. I can understand using automated systems for something like math problems, it makes sense. There’s (usually) one right answer. But essays? This should be banned.

I think Spotify needs to implement Siri support so I’m not surprised that it doesn’t work on the beta. I’m also excited for this integration because I loathe Apple Music. Spotify is so much better. It’s annoying that Spotify doesn’t work as

Well there seems to be a lot of negativity tomwards this launch. 9.99 seems reasonable, and their lineups of originals sound pretty good. I’d rather pay $10 for this than Netflix to be honest which has tons of content most of which is absol
