The picture per day part is really cool - instead of having to look for a life raft/debris, we can look for patterns of abnormality across time. Given how large the ocean is, we have a good sense of the 'normal' distribution

I think the IMS issue may make the 987.1 Cayman and 996 911 cars some of the best deals out there today - it seems like the IMS issues don't affect too many cars (and the issues may have been over-reported on Porsche forums), and there

Really interesting, does anyone know more information on how the initial eigendresses were computed? Was there image processing to distill the dress into major components, hand tagging of variables (like short/long, color, etc), or jus

It looks like the demo video has at least two different buttons so it seems like they have different MAC addresses

As far as technical challenges on streaming/hosting in Africa - I remember hearing about Kili ( http://kili.io/ ) on HN a while ago. They do AWS-like infrastructure located in Nairobi, so could make it easy to get starte

That sounds really interesting - with the net-30 billing, you also have some cool opportunities to choose when to hold USD vs BTC based on the expected climate in the next 30 days

From the meta description tag: the original website was used for 'nutrition guide, locations, franchise information, and career opportunities'. While I've never seen anyone actually browse the Taco Bell website, it seems like

As some background: I was interested in playing with the Instagram API so I built this last night. I've heard about a trend of people 'liking' their own pictures on Instagram. Some people (mainly teenage users) say this has b

You can do something like this to change the URL without reloading page, and then just use AJAX for the currency switcher: window.history.pushState("Updating URL to ___", "Title", "/?currency=USD");

The idea is pretty similar to Hunch, but we think there's an opportunity since Hunch had some dedicated users and no one else has stepped in to fill that gap. We're also trying to be more social than Hunch, and think there's

Great design on the site as well as great UI/UX for the app - amazing how powerful HTML5 apps are becoming.

I just make an Asana checklist for each project I'm working on - it's a great way to track bugs, add lists of features, see how you're doing, etc. It's also easy to add collaborators if you add a partner to the project and want to manage fe

The 'when we become a legal entity' seems to be a pretty common answer. What I've been thinking about lately is how passion plays into it - like you said, while you have a day job, your startup is what you're dedicated to hacking on wheneve

Looks like an awesome concept, and well executed as well! Since the GamePress arcade lets you play any GamePress game, you could even publish top games as standalone apps running on your engine (if the creator wants). But more interestingly

I completely get your point, and Emil is a great role model for all (not just young) entrepreneurs faced with failure. What I don't understand is all the animosity towards Nick D’Aloisio. What makes him not a "real" entrepreneur? Whatever t

After spending the past week thinking about monetizing ads, the next social/local/mobile app, etc... that all seems so minor compared to Watsi. It's awesome to see people doing so much social good - best of luck and amazing job!

My guess is Amazon - they're involved in enough different lines of business that even if one drops off, they'll still be fine, and if all lines of business prosper, they're in for huge growth. E-commerce should continue to drive huge revenu

You really think this could be the next Facebook?! But actually, I feel like this falls into the category of "cool but absolutely worthless" things (like Infinite Drunk Ron Swanson at http://www.drunkronswanson.com/ ). So while fun to make

I thought this was interesting because Craigslist is known for sticking to its classic (some would say dated? ugly?) user interface. This is the first change that I've really noticed in Craigslist's UI (the update adds purple buttons for vi

After 3 years of having startup ideas, I finally committed and built a product (with a couple of great friends) that's ready to launch! I'm not sure when we can truly call ourselves a startup (when we exit private beta? When we incorporate?

Yep, exactly - applications like that are just cool, useful and intuitive all at once. What's interesting is that for visual displays, we have decades of detailed research into visual perception - we know from experience how to design a gra
