Wow, the comments there are worse than on youtube videos of people hurting themselves. So much for real names improving the quality of conversation.

I agree that a long term strategy for improving working conditions involves access to quality education but I don't think that pertains to the issue being discussed nor is it very helpful to the people described in the article. The sad fact

I don't agree. First, education levels among Foxconn employees are probably considerably lower than you can imagine. These people just don't fully understand how inhumane their jobs are or the lasting effects of the chemicals they work with

To me Canonical and Apple have always been very different. Canonical has no doubt drawn much inspiration from Apple in their user interface elements but I feel from there the comparison really tapers off. Canonical provides services. Apple

I guess the irony is lost in posting that on a website owned by ycombinator. The shoot every-where(with care) and see what sticks professionals.

It's interesting to listen to stories like this because they make it truly difficult to access your own feelings. You want to dislike or even hate it but a moment later you realize, in order to do so, you'd have to pass those judgements ont

Thought the iphone case was going to help me reason with siri or something. Instead I had to turn my speakers down and fight the urge to move to the country side away from noisy, abrasive hunks of plastic. I am glad he's doing what gets him

Yeah sadly it does. And it works on products of all price ranges especially at critical price points, the lowest of which is $.99. But it works just as well at $199 ... or $189. A computer for $999 for some reason seems like a much better d

Every one of those is an abstract component. Making up an abstract system. There are no algorithms, no methods, no inventions. It's a collection of abstract ideas. The purpose of patents is to give incentive for the inventors to publish the

They're comprised of a bunch of abstract ways of getting a route other than fastest or shortest to a pedestrian. States no inventions. Just the concept of route finding based on criteria other than shortest or fastest.

by gerggerg 15y ago
Wait, I thought you couldn't patent abstract ideas. This is a big bummer for more than just the businesses that will be routed around. The patent is essentially on just the thought of delivering a route based on anything other than shortest

Thats a really great question. The main reason is because the other labels would still want to sue. Now why can't they all just buy grooveshark together? Because we have anti-trust laws that prevent them from working together like that.

Pretty cool, my issues: - The code box can't be resized. - You have to read the 'tip' every time. It contains core api and not just tips. - Some characters aren't in the map key (archer) - It's a little shy on instructions. Wh

Yes they do. Short term statistics aren't a very good measure of public opinion. For all we know go daddy could have deliberately moved and purchased those domains from one place to another just to cover up the pr blunder that was sopa supp

If using the tool is more burdensome than the solution it proposes, don't use the tool. In other words, less and sass are for developer readability. If your styles are easier to read without them(in parts or in whole), then write your style

I think the word people use most often is impact. Environmental impact. :)

Environmentally friendly and low cost do not have a direct correlation. You can strive for both but they do not depend on each-other.

If you hate to do it than whats the point? The dude may have the care and the luck to keep him alive but he's also continued to produce jaw dropping work without being able to move much more than his eye balls. He can't eat or defecate or w

As much as I actually respect Kodak, absolutely love a lot of their products and will miss the film, this made me happy: "The company's problems came to a head in 2011, as Mr. Perez's strategy of using patent lawsuits and licensing deals t

I agree. All I'm trying to say as that blaming it on the 'Movie Industry' is not being able to see the real problem. Many independent and main stream movie industry workers don't support SOPA and don't feel the MPAA acts in their favor. We

The movie industry does innovate. They've been innovating like crazy. Tons of new tech and innovations come out of the movie industry. It's the MPAA that doesn't care to innovate. The MPAA doesn't produce anything. They just want/need con

The column wrapping and lack of indentation make this cheat sheet a bit hard to use. Also not specifying that one of these is the function definition and one is it's usage makes it hard to glance over: add(a, b) -> a + b add(1

I think that's a bit doom and gloom. We now have github, it's easier than ever before to copy code and release it as your own.

This is a tad ridiculous. Very few of you know anything about violins and I'm sure none of you know the details of this story or if it's even true. Regretsy was being irresponsible in posting it without any evidence and many people here are

If you're going to post a link to your own blog that has no content, don't you think you should at least start a discussion on this page about it? I mean, the one post on your blog is about not reading blogs. What epic shit did you have in

For what: websites? native apps? Are there any features you see your app needing that you couldn't do with html5 / javascript?
