I was surprised it got killed too... Oh well sometimes it's just a question of bad luck I guess... (and after that I find that HN has a very low tolerance on meta submissions asking why a submission got killed) I used to watch a lot of anim

Yes, I used Opera's wand before, the big plus of 1password is the fact that it works with Safari, Firefox and can be synced to my iphone... I don't want my passwords to be tied to a browser... Also with 1password, I just tell it to generate

Ah, that's a pet peeve of mine... I've always loved looking at the guts of any library I use, first because I often learn something new, second, because otherwise how can I rely on it? But, a lot of programmers I know, don't look at the cod

The only reason I'm not using Opera is because it doesn't support 1password... I really liked that browser, I've used it long before Firefox came out but after switching to Mac, at first Opera on Mac wasn't great and now, well it's missing

I can't agree more with that... As a software development company, my best customers have been people who didn't understand the technology. The best ones accepted that it was my job to understand it and take care of it for them and would st

When I lived in Kyoto, I had similar expenses... Housing: - 400$/month for a 15 square meter studio next to Kyoto University - $500/month for a 90 square meter house shared between with one other person (so total price would have been $1000

Thanks a lot for the answers! 1. Can you tell me approximately how many unique visitors you had during the shows? I'm kind of curious... 3. We're using cloudfront... So you'd advise on using Akamai instead? or would cloudfront be ok? 6. For

Thanks patio11 1. Good thing is that I don't think there'll be any problems for the mangling the name as it's a very simple name :-)... 2. It makes sense that the traffic is going to be a wider interval, hadn't thought about that 3. Yeah, I

I hadn't thought about using them, I've had bad experiences before with engineyard's appcloud (mostly during their beta and because I needed to do something a bit more complicated than what they normally support out of the box, forcing me t

By the way garply, I'm curious where in China are you based? If you're in Shanghai, let's meet up... I can't comment on the group think or not on Groupon here. One thing though, as a user of groupon type deals (well meituan, lashou and enjo

They are now, but they weren't back then (I think it was around 2005)... But I guess that if Amazon bought them, it shows they were good at what they did :-)

A long time ago, Abebooks recruited me as a customer like this.. They were selling on amazon market place and with their follow up to my order convinced me to visit their website. So, I think it can be done, I'm just surprised that not more

I've been doing that for a few years now, first working in Japan, then living for some time in Malaysia, Thailand and China before deciding on settling here for some time.. For Japan, I was working there for a Japanese company so it's a bit

Why shouldn't numbers be moved to the right of titles? As a non-designer, I find it nicer to see at a glance what is happening? That said I agree with the rest of your critique...

We're looking for interns in Shanghai. Paid but not much (but more than enough to cover the cost of living in Shanghai)... You would be working on Rails app and play with cool and fun things like cappuccino, redis and mongodb. Possibility o

I've been interested in the Alexander Technique for a while but haven't started yet (and it's quite expensive here in Shanghai). How would you evaluate a good teacher?

I can understand why they did it. I've always been uncomfortable with other people (any people, even in a coffee shop) being able to see my monitor without me noticing and I can't really give a reason why. But, for example, I also hate sitt

On this kind of case, probably... Libel law are more stringent in France and as pointed by bertil Google does already censor inappropriate associations... Also the damage awarded is mostly symbolic (5,001 euros is hardly a big sum for Googl

I was also planning on using twilio for a project and when looking at their faq for the initial research, it wasn't very clear that it was something completely unsupported that could be disabled at any moments...

I think timing is more of a factor in this than karma... There are some times of the day when new stories are less likely to be voted up. The only time when karma does play a role is for stories submitted by people that are in the top ten a
