Some of the more complicated merges, e.g. "adjacent lines" scare me. The comment says "They clearly don't conflict since they don't modify the same lines." And while that seems obvious for humans reading the given test case, it seems easy e

Its more than just Android/iOS- their location data also works for computers with wifi as well (eg when I press the "share my location" button on Google Maps from my MBP, they pin my location down to within 50 feet) They certainly did not n

Aside from the (good) conversation here, I'm actually shocked the guy agreed to an interview. How many HN people just spent some time thinking about how you would do one of these? Not that nobody could have possibly thought about pinterest

I don't get it either. The only thing that wouldn't be kosher would be replacing existing affiliate links with their own, but I don't think they were doing that

I fit mostly into those descriptions, and I definitely consider myself a tech person. An iPad has never been something I really needed, so I waited. Now that they are on v3 with the amazing new retina display (which is one of the features I

The obvious thing google flights misses over ITA is the month-long search option, which I use a lot. For the power users, ITA has a very useful regex-like syntax for specifiying flight queries, but that is understandably not of as much inte

Obvious addendum to that: HN is a very different community from those that most of these startups might target.

What do you mean by flat pricing? That everyone travelling between two cities pays the same fare? Because that certainly doesn't (or shouldn't) happen anywhere. Airline tickets are substanially different from standard goods (be that cars, c

A nice article, but its worth mentioning that scala for bash script usage is a non-starter for most stuff you might use bash for because JVM startup overhead, even for the client VM, is so substantial

I am definitely not an expert on US discrimination law, but I believe that is actually the case to some degree-many of those laws only apply to companies with more than 15 people (eg Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964).

A lot of iOs apps basically already do this with "free"/"express" versions which have limited functionality and try to upsell. That would imply trials might not be an awful idea, given people are willing to put extra work into making free/g

Honest question: Why are you speechless? Did you read the S-1? They always documented how much they paid out to businesses. Yes, calling all $10 revenue is disingenuous, but this accounting change doesn't effect their profitability (or lack
