If the app is useful, a premium version could be made, as well as a company branded version for an entire company, etc. HR is tough to sell to, but that doesn't mean impossible. It could be a nice corporate perk.

meteor.js is really cool, but it is not ready for production, so it depends on how important your app is. Scaling it beyond a single server is actually not that simple. Another factor to look at is how extensive the realtime functionality w

Culture won't pay for rent. Silicon valley is no longer affordable for actual early stage startups. Even if you can somehow figure out rent, you have to compete with the existing tech giants in the area that can easily pay $150k+ for y

Oh, the good old days of 1999. I was 17 back then, and already selling hosting accounts: http://web.archive.org/web/19990125091016/http://murzik.com/

Incredibly disappointed that this is the first comment. I honestly expected more from HN readers. The justice system is so disgustingly broke that we absolutely need dedicated, level-headed people to do these types of "social hacks&quo

What isn't mentioned is that these drugs are actually injected directly into the eye. My grand father was prescribed both, and had no improvement in vision. When he switched to the expensive one, there were excellent results, and he ca

Interesting post, but your blog has a horrible bug that scrolls the page to the top on Android randomly.

Awesome demo, and a great way to turn your laptop into a heater. Still, performed quite well on my 15" retina mbp.

TL;DR don't read HN if you're easily influenced.

I'm working on a personal analytics system that's very similar. My goal is to track more horizontally, not just one aspect like diet. I really like what you've done here, and I think the UI is very clever. Some folks here are

In the bay area, Flex devs make > $100/hour, pretty much implying a 6 figure annual rate. Maybe the 5 figures are from another area or country. As a former Flex developer, I must admit that Flex was the best thing that ever happened

If your device uses more than 0.5A for idle energy consumption, your phone's 1500mAh battery would only last 3 hours. Standby time on most smartphones is usually at least 12 hours, consuming between 100-200mA. Being able to turn the de

This is a very clever parody of Android phone marketing. Buying a KitKat to test compatibility.

This works a lot better than the included "Vintage" mode. I've spent the majority of the past 15 years in vi(m), and have recently switched to Sublime for working on projects with many, many files, plus mouse support.

TL;DR: I'm mad at Zed Shaw, so I'll help him sell a lot more books by complaining about nothing.

TIL that everyone needs a patent to prove defensibility to VC's, but no one is allowed to mention a patent on HN without being down voted, because patents are evil.

I like that in the last photograph, the bullet holes are clearly from someone shooting from the inside out. Who was trying to get inside, and where are the bodies?

We're talking about today's drone use by the FBI. They most certainly don't have fully autonomous drones. Sure, give them a decade or two and they'll have miniature, weaponized drones soon enough.

by iguana 13y ago
My point is that the focus must be on the operators of such devices, not the devices themselves. For example, the fact that Obama likes to use drones to take out American citizens (and I guess their children and cousins?) suspected of provi

I suspect it will become different eventually, when drones are much, much smaller, and weaponized. But the FBI isn't using those yet, so I agree, this is just opportunistic reporting since everyone is talking about the surveillance sta

Evil is a very poor word to use outside of some sort of metaphysical sense or fairy tale. I think the use of the word "evil" to describe the actions of our well meaning but thoroughly righteous and shortsighted government is count

...and then your car gets blown up, and they call it an "accident". The press is, and has been, the 4th branch of the government, so I would really hope that our last refuge isn't found on the pages of CNN.

It seems to have held up since the invention of cameras. I see this as inevitable: the technology is nearly here, the market demand is certainly here, the dots will be connected, legally, or otherwise.
