Water was just listed as one of the items we need to survive as opposed to something we want, we pretty much already have it in abundance in the first world. I'll admit I used to have the same view on this, where is the incentive? Why

Debt exists because of scarcity. Removal of currency/money and the concept of personal profit can be used to create abundance of our needed resources (food, water and shelter). This isn't magically caused by the removal of currenc

Only if you retain the concept of having to buy things. Removing currency would be a very slow process but once you get past the behaviour and economic issues presented I think this lines up with hacker values quite nicely. Everyone would h

The same principles apply, just like everyone suddenly becomes an expert on politics just before elections. I'm from the UK so you could say its worse for me as I'm definitely allowed to be spied on by the NSA. What are you sugges

Many projects with similar aims already exist, meshnet ( https://projectmeshnet.org/ ) comes to mind. People becoming inspired to change the world after recent events need to be directed to established projects where their (p

I currently have a 27" IPS (FSM-270YG / 2560x1440) and a 21" LCD (1600x900). I mainly do web development so the 27" will very comfortably fit sublime, terminal and chrome with dev tools. The 21" is my spotify/g

First thought, isn't this a tad dangerous for the supplier? There seems to be nothing stopping me from using huge amounts of bandwidth just to screw with them. Or if I really was a bad guy, how much of an effective dos attack could be

About this direct access phrase, I read a post earlier today (linked from a comment on HN but can't find it now...) that described a hypothetical system offered by facebook to intelligence agencies, this system would allow the user to

The visual designer is great, it adds back in the ability for the designer to alter the template without the developer having to change any code. If this was a standalone product the template format would most likely need to be a proprietar

It is tedious to layout a PDF but actual pain points are handling variable sized images and amounts of text, try formatting recipes to a PDF... Your demo video explains the features but not how it can solve anything that is a major problem

Raspberry pi has an arm6 chip I think and the minimum for ubuntu is arm7. It could be done but the OS would require considerable modification.

A little of topic but... Having read the comments here and many blog posts on HN on this subject it seems that many recent graduates are not up to scratch with what the industry expects. Yet a degree is required to obtain a H1-B visa or 12

One tip from experience, make disclosing your age part of follow up info when someone is interested. I started freelancing when I was 15, I found that when told upfront, potential clients would bail very quickly. When I tried not disclosing

Not really got the best advice on learning sources but this should make the situation more manageable without internet access. I have a set of resources for when our internet goes down (rarely but weeks at a time): - Set of Ubuntu linux ISO

If I remember an episode of diggnation correctly Rose paid $10 per hour, though this is probably wrong. 20 hours is doable for a prototype of the first version of digg.

Yes, although a relay (TURN) server can still be needed if a direct connection cannot be established (mobile connections etc). Its pretty easy to hook as well, we should see some some great apps come out of it, especially when data channels
