   Does anyone believe a modern Benz will be able to drive for 1,000,000 miles the way old ones regularly would? I don’t. I think this has to do with the advances in material sciences and engineering. My theory is that parts in old cars were

   Thanks for verifying, it's working for me as well now. Apparently, I had JavaScript disabled. D'oh!

   Funny idea! The magic slider doesn't work in FF 3.6.13 on Mac OS X.

   I think the piracy marketing effect works especially well for iOS because not all devices are jailbroken. If Alice jailbreaks her phone, and Bob doesn't, Alice can show Bob her pirated apps, but can't easily share them with him. If Bob sees

   Web-controlled or not, I wonder if it is legal in Georgia (or the US in general) to let firearms lie around unprotected? And there must be giant hogs in Georgia, if you need a total of 6 shotguns to kill them.

   There is a guy who has about a dozen of apps in the store that (ab)use the headphone jack to power and control external hardware. Among them is a laser pointer [1], a controller for RC power outlets [2] and countless others. [1] http:

   I wonder why Slate offers their content under two almost identical URL schemes. At least they have a canonical link.

    Keep in mind that 50k uniques/day doesn't translate into 30x50k uniques/months. There are probably some repeat visitors. Otherwise the world would at some point run of naked men. Still, it's a non-trivial amount of highly targeted traffic.

    I didn't mean to imply that they make 100,000$/mo of AFF. My point was that they probably redirect their adult traffic to something adult related and not to mainstream dating sites.

    I think he sees that himself now: I think I would accept the offers now, because I'm much more educated about it. Regarding the money: The article mentions redirecting these users to FriendFinder.com, that should probably read AdultFriend

    Regarding iOS development, keep in mind that even if you outsource, you still need an iPhone to verify the work. Maybe you can borrow a phone from a friend. If you want to develop yourself, you don't need the latest hardware. A used Mac Min

    Same here. For me, the big time sink is not HN itself, but the articles. Thanks to Instapaper, I can postpone reading the long ones until I've time to kill.

    Just because it's free doesn't mean people will use it. If you just want to create apps that people use you might still get disappointed, unless you enjoy the process of building or scratch your own itch.

    Well, he just wrote an inspiring blog post. And he started the Warrior Heart Foundation to "inspire and empower people to live their dreams". Unfortunately, I can't find much about it except some videos of their participation in the Gumball

    Some people can eat something immediately after exercising, some can't. When I run in the morning I usually rest for a few minutes to cool down, take a shower and then have breakfast. But you can eat immediately after you finished exercisin

    I can confirm that the part of the video starting at 1:20 is actually airing as advertising on German TV. It's nice to see that this is a real device and not just CGI.

    One thing that strikes me as odd is that this blog is completely focused on sharing "technical interview questions and tips." I just skimmed a few of the posts and there seems to be little to no mention of a practical application of the alg
