Could this be an invitation for researchers to find a backdoor the NSA required Apple to put in there? Or are they just utilizing the crowd to help secure against NSA attacks?

This is a very comprehensive list, thanks for putting it together. However, a lot of these strike me as things that an engineer normally wouldn't have access to (unit economics, etc). What would be your recommendation to folks who don&

Does anyone know what SpaceX's target cost per launch is compared to these guys (4.9M)? Also, I'd never heard of Rocketlab before but it turns out that they're back by Khosla Ventures. Pretty cool.

Definitely, if you're building something with complex UI requirements (aka "interesting" :) hybrid apps probably aren't the right choice. However, most apps typically don't fall into that category - so if you know a

I think the other comment thread on this post ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9070906 ) addresses your points here. Not that you're wrong, but just that the experience for the user is identical in most cases.

When we built Songhop (an Ionic powered app) and tested on 4S, the app performance was the same as other apps on the phone. Unless the phone isn't updated to the latest OS version, performance in webview will generally be similar to na

Author of the course here: to users, the performance difference is not noticeable. If you look under the hood, sure, there are absolutely inefficiencies that happen. But a vast majority of the time it has no effect on the user experience, a

You probably already know this, but another music discovery service called "Songdrop" already exists and has been around for a few years - https://songdrop.com/ Might want to rebrand!

Thanks for taking the time to respond Patrick! I have two more questions: When I quote them, how should I be breaking down the quote? (I'm thinking the different price breakdowns would look something like "curriculum creation, liv

What about dynamic routes, like user profiles? Also, the ease of just letting you guys automatically take care of it would be ideal (especially if I was paying for the service.)

This is actually really great. The ability to proxy api calls is huge, and I think the only thing missing here is automatic seo. If you guys could automatically spit out static HTML files for googles crawlers, I would use this in a heartbea

Totally. It would be cool if IFTTT started getting banks & credit cards on board, that way it "just works" and you don't have to write custom software to export your transactions.

This is a fantastic idea and I could definitely see small businesses finding this useful. Now that I think about it, it would be so cool if there was an IFTTT tie in for VISA cards. Make a purchase, update a google spreadsheet and send me a

My startup has been looking to move into the city recently, so this is actually super useful. Is there anything like this for the south bay as well?

I was just thinking of building something like this. If you could give me a few tags for each reporter on what they usually write about, that would be amazing, as I don't want to pitch a social media startup to a clean tech reporter.

Wow, you even have support for desktop notifications in this! It makes a lot of sense to have a wrapper for in browser and out of browser notifications. Looking forward to trying this out.

I share the same sentiment. I'm also pretty confused why he was surprised regarding the complexity of hijacking the phone's SMS/MMS messages. As a non-android dev, if I were told to do that, I would assume that it would be he

How long does it take to resolve a namecoin key=>value pair? Considering the variable speed in these sorts of decentralized networks, is there a noticeable lag when you initially request a .bit website?
