I'd be curious to get the opinion of others on whether or not this was a mistake given the information they had at the time . It's pretty useless to say "our biggest mistake was x because it turned out to be a huge failure". I'm not intere

When I first saw the site, I was hoping there would be a way to upload a picture, perhaps do some kind of feature-tagging (similar to the way you point out your pupils on photos on those try-on-glasses apps[1]) and have the site spit back a

Huh. Less than I thought, somehow.

I did mean physical orientation, but I see from rereading my question that's not clear at all.

Isn't it easier to "sleep with" a laptop than a tablet? A laptop holds the screen in a vertical orientation that you can watch while lying down. How do you do this with a tablet? I ask as someone who has "slept with" a laptop more or less e

Any stats on how big the typical HN traffic spike is?

I've always thought that a laptop-tablet hybrid of the sort Lenovo makes is the best form factor[1] for mobile computing. A physical keyboard and trackpad you can fold away when you're not using but that you always have with you. I used an

Huh. I thought it was an update to reduce specifically "low-quality" EMDs rather than EMDs with "a lots of keywords in the domain name". Or are these two ways of saying the same thing?

Which part of the TOS do you think this would violate? AFAIK you're not under any obligations to show Adsense ads to all users, or all of the time. I know quite a few people who only show Adsense ads to search engine visitors, for example,

Thanks, I appreciate your comment. Unfortunately, barring a change in my circumstances or a sudden upsurge in interest from the public, I just don't think it will be possible. It may not look like it but the research involved even in that o

Yeah, I've been following them for a while. Aside from the obvious difference in focus, my biggest gripe with that site is that the basic taxonomy is per supplement. The typical use case is the user hears about supplement A, hears it's good

I suspect I've missed the boat on this one, but in any case: About a year ago, I began an (overly) ambitious project to build a database of the scientific evidence behind the use of herbal supplements to treat a variety of conditions. I san

At the $15 price point, the only other price point Amazon should worry about is $0. I would imagine few people would go through the hassle and risk of finding and trusting a third party software to remove the ads to save $5 or $10

How does the authentication work with email providers? Does the application access email through POP or IMAP? Does it have arbitrary access to my email account? I fear I'll never benefit from apps like this as my email account is the skelet

I think it would be near impossible for someone who has passed the patent bar to genuinely set aside their "specialized knowledge" when hearing a patent case. In fact, I will flat-out assert that it's impossible, because when you become a d

I think the real question here is: if the non-shuffled deck had somehow worked in the Casino's favor and caused an otherwise-virtually-impossible losing streak for the customers, would the casino now be scurrying to reimburse them all for t

They aren't exactly imposing a condition on an order from a judge. They are promising not to appeal if their conditions are met. Strictly speaking, it would only be imposing a condition on an order from a judge if they had exhausted all of

The problem is that if that provision were actually enforced, kickstarter would be of much less use to those people it was originally conceived of to help. If you are a small independent games company, film maker, or musician, the threat of

Having read the article I don't really see how this is anything other than an extremely labour intensive method of doing content spinning which is as old as the hills. There are many SEO spinning tools that allow the user this kind of granu
