Very good point, we'll definitely add that in.

We don't actually read the text of individual questions, as we want our users to feel confident that their questions will only be read by the friends they choose to ask. From talking to early users, though, coordinating group activities see

I'm one of the founders of Cloudy (I submitted a post earlier and it didn't go anywhere, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2227646 ), so feel free to comment with any questions or suggestions you have.

This sentiment annoys the hell out of me. There are many great programmers (mainly in the web world) that rarely work with algorithms or other traditional CS topics. Just because he says he's product-focused doesn't mean that his code isn't

I feel the same way. While creating a cool piece of engineering is satisfying, it is nowhere near as satisfying as seeing real people enjoy the end product. For me, coding is a means to an end, rather than an end itself.

While an alarm clock should be annoying to a certain extent, the rooster sound is just a bit much. I like it otherwise, though.

Has the FAA said anything about this? I would hope that they would be concerned about the impact on aviation GPS.

I was assuming that such a change would apply to all permissions - not just phone numbers.

1) The fact that there is a second item below "Access my basic information" would seem to make that fact abundantly clear. I'm not sure how much more explicit it can get. 2) While I agree that it would be good to give users a greater level

"Instead, you must aim for and click specific blank areas between the various navigation items. This reduces usability and also obliterates accessibility for users who have less dexterity." I highly doubt that, given that the standard size

From what I've read, LTE will certainly be faster than HSPA+. I think what he is saying is that HSPA+ is "fast enough" for most smartphone activities (such as web browsing), so the speed boost provided by LTE will only be noticed in more da

"Our position has been and remains that the logs include sensitive personal information with no bearing on Wikileaks, and it would serve no purpose to publish them at this time." How can the "tubes" decide right and wrong in a situation lik

Like A Little has completely taken off at my school (Washington University in St. Louis) within the last 2 weeks. It's fascinating to see such explosive growth in action.

I'm a sophomore in college working on a startup with two other people (one a junior at my school, one who recently graduated), and our model is to work all day every Saturday. We meet up around 10am and code until 7pm or so. I get all of my

What's more likely: an old woman traveled back in time to 1928 and used a cell phone that didn't require cell towers, or said old woman is just holding something random up to her ear?

For the past year, Things for iPhone has completely run my life. I think the key is being able to add todos anytime, anywhere. It has essentially become my external brain, and one that I am almost never without.

The same applies to any kind of reading with a deeper philosophical underpinning. Reading the words in no way means you truly understand what's being said.

Thank you. A liberal arts education in the atmosphere of a university, with thousands of people your age, is an incomparable experience. It is a luxury, no doubt, but if you can afford it, it is like nothing else.

I don't think that's actually the case. Huge companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google spend a massive amount of time and money fighting comparatively tiny patent trolls. While they might not want to abolish the current patent system, the

"The decision to buy government debt, using proceeds from Fed investments in mortgage bonds..." If the money is coming from mortgage investments, I don't believe this action is actually increasing the money supply. Knowing the complexities

It's fascinating that they only used rational basis instead of intermediate or strict scrutiny. While precedent currently places sexual orientation in the realm of rational basis, I think that an extremely strong case could be made that a l

While there should certainly be a limit on the extent of searches at airports, the reason these searches have not been found "unreasonable" is likely that you can refuse to be searched. Sure, it means you're going to have to drive to wherev

I doubt Barnes & Noble would be a good fit for Apple, Microsoft, or HP; their stores are far too massive for a single-brand retailer. Perhaps some new competitor to Best Buy looking to swing for the fences?

As am I. A liberal arts education makes you better able to understand and explain the world around you. The notion that every moment of college must be teaching you a skill that you will directly apply in your future career is positively st

Given how well-known the term "space-time continuum" is, you'd think that most people would already know that to be the case.

Almost all of the complaints I've heard about Facebook from college students stem from the amount of time "wasted" on it. However, all of this time is spent interacting with other people on the service, actively or not. So, it is hard to se

I think most people will say they dislike Facebook, mainly due to the time commitment involved, but they would feel quite disconnected if they were suddenly unable to use it to keep up with their friends. It's not that people are using Fa
