Slightly off topic, but its a pet peeve that gadgets don't actually show (the limitations of) their product. See for example, their video camera: http://puu.sh/aKx3 . The "video" taken is obviously not by the built in vidoe camera.

On a semi-related note, has anyone signed up for them? They don't comply with the CAN-SPAM act by not giving an unsubscribe link in the emails they send out.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but the parent was offering advice for accessibility to help the member's of the community improve on their projects. Why would you disapprove of that?

ML-class does not necessarily apply to all other 10 courses offered by Stanford. I would not be surprised if they weren't given for the entrepreneurial classes offered.

Chrome shows me the Oops, crashed tab. Does it crash the entire browser for you? (Windows XP, 15.0.874.120 m)

It took me a few tries to remember your website. Codecedemy, Codemy, Codeacademy, codecademy. Hopefully a useful data point.

Interesting idea, I'm not so sure I agree about "For the more gung-ho, obfuscate the URL and use SSL (e.g. https://yoursite.tld/something-unguessable/monitors.txt ) and tell your provider where to find your monitors.txt'. http://en.wikipe

Is there an API for something similar available? It would be pretty cool to not limit this to phones.

This is an ignorant question, but do apps have access to the social graph? If so, I'd assume the top game applications have a substantial portion.

Honest question, why have you stayed at HN for almost three years if it's a poor community?

It's too bad he's downvoted, because he's not completely wrong. http://1876.voxcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/siri_weird... clearly shows an example of wolframalpha.

I'm well aware of horizontal gene transfer, but thanks for linking it anyways for the people who don't know. Edit: My response was lacking, apologies. AFAIK, there's never been a horizontal gene transfer from a prokaryote/eukaryote/any othe
