Since many people have dynamic IPs, I think tracking geolocation patterns of the first 10-ish votes would be enough to distinguish suspect cases and eventually put them 'on-hold' (HN dosen't really need to get stories on the front page as s

For what I understand it's all about an update to Cyanogen's Android 2.2 ROM. Correct me if I'm wrong, but all the devices listed are already supporting Android Froyo officially or unofficially by some time. I've been using my HTC Desire wi

Talk about linkbait: "Rose, the founder and chief architect of Digg, took up the role of interim CEO when Jay Adelson resigned in April." That's it. nothing to see here, move along..

I have a slightly different question: considering I have no interest in emigrating to the States, what if my hypothetical startup gets funded by YC or any other american early stage venture firm? Would I be able to incorporate in US and pay

In my very humble opinion, what I just read was a lengthy and macchiavellan explanation of a simple concept: if your co-workers are happy with their job and you don't, and you all get paid the same, you might want to consider looking for an

If you havent read it yet, I'd suggest you to read Huxley's Brave New World, as opposed to 1984. Given it was written in 1932 it surprisingly exposes present-day concerns.

My benchmark for non-technical users is my father: he's 60-something and he started using computers & internet 3 years ago when I bought him a laptop. I can recognize in him pretty much all the behaviours described in this article, espe

That's something I often thought myself, phpBB/vBulletin type of forums have been around for 10+ years now, and they haven't changed a lot since then. I think there might be lots of things to rethink on the UX side now that we have so many

I'd be an anti-apple zealot if I were telling you how bad the iPad is, or how apple suck at doing things. But I don't. Actually, I think Apple makes good devices, but I get a bit irritate when I open up a link expecting to read some insight

Just one note from myself. I don't think your career depends on your 'brain development' or self taught mad skills. It all comes down to gaining experiences imho. What I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't endeavour in a startup just bec

I got my first VPS with them too, and the articles there have been really useful and straight-forward. Once you've completed all the steps you're pretty much able to build up a functional webserver. Their chatroom is really useful too, if y

Seems to me that joe the plumber dosen't really care that much about privacy nowadays. I don't really see how it could be that harmful, if not for a bit of more targeted advertising. I have the feeling that people would give up a bit of the

I'm looking forward to hear from people who's had direct experiences, but in general I'd be more than skeptical towards someone significantly older than me, with no technical skills, asking to "partner" in a startup project. Chances are tha

When I was 15 I coded a basic WYSIWYG editor for WAP pages (early days mobile internet pages) as a freeware, and I got contacted by a company willing to acquire all the assets and hire me to work full time on a branded version of my editor.
