What? Tell me how people should choose to not to get born into poverty or a family that can't afford college. You seem to think people should make their money from investment rather than production, which has little value for a society. We

This is somehow unique to Safari, or bad? Has the author never used chrome or firefox? Right now I've got three tabs open in chrome and it's using 703 mb of ram between all the threads. A modern browser will gobble memory. But it will also

It's a mistake to think that market forces work in healthcare. When your doctor says you need a test or a certain prescription, and here's where to get it, you listen to your doctor. You don't haggle with him about where and how much. Deali

I saw the CEO speak at SXSW a couple years ago. I still can't figure out what the big deal is.

I take great umbrage with his graph depicting teachers both as relatively high paid and not working that hard. He says he's been a teacher, but given the plot on the graph, I highly doubt it. It's way harder than you think, and unless you'r

If enterprise web-app developers were to test capabilities rather than browser versions, this would be a moot point. This has been the advice from most browser vendors and js library builders for years. The problem here is poorly written we

Dribbble? Really? Dribbble is neat and all, but using it to find a designer is like picking a book by looking at the lower lefthand corner of the cover--it doesn't tell you anything. You might find a designer who is good at fancy effects in

This article is laughably light on specifics and big on meaningless sentences like ' HTML5 is an effective solution to the challenges of delivering content to smartphones in a consistent and efficient manner. ' Don't waste your clicks.

Based on the URL/name, I am disappointed this isn't some new way to goof of during boring webinars. I was expecting some kind of racing game in canvas or destroying elements in the DOM, something like that...

I've done some work in photography in the wedding / party industry. I think the mobile / web app thing could be interesting, kind of like fanchatter (YC S09) for weddings or parties.

This argument can cut both ways. If I'm a designer, and I can make a kick-ass interface, but aren't so great on the programming skills, can I, or can I not hire a programmer to make work? My sense is the HN crowd would be aghast at such a n

As a designer, when an org comes to me and says "we have $[laughably small amount] to spend on this website", I point them to WooThemes and tell them to pick one out. I'm happy to sit down with them for a few hours and do some basic work, b

It would be important to know if an iPad can be as responsive as a wacom tablet. I think an iPad version of photoshop could work as a simple photo retouching app as shown in this demo. But it will be really, really hard for Adobe to get the

This is disappointing news, but I still have a lot of hope for Detroit. The desert southwest is running out of fresh water due to climate change and over-use. Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, even Atlanta, they're all unsustainable. If they

I'm a designer and wordpress hacker. I tried WooThemes on a project recently, in an effort to save time and money for the client. They're great if you're willing to totally sacrifice to the design in the theme. But once you want to start cu

Not sure what the simplest would be from a tech perspective (probably paypal). But I'd only pay people once they've built up enough of a balance to make it worthwhile to do a payout. At the very least, you'd reduce your payout throughput th

That is a pretty sweeping generalization. I work for a public radio station. Our journalists routinely interview primary sources, sometimes live on the air. We also transcribe those interviews and put them on the web. We've also been increa

Life is not all about money! Buy a house because you want someplace to be your own, that you can customize, and really be part of a neighborhood, and not worry about asking a landlord for permission. I bought a house because all the apartme

I agree they're have different relationships to content creation. But I don't think most people see much of a distinction between news and entertainment (which is problematic in it's own right). Nor do many people care who is an actual crea

It is more expensive than Netflix or an Amazon prime account. They're different things, of course, but it seems too expensive to me. I'd probably subscribe at about half the price, but at $180/year, I'll just clear my cookies and/or read th

Did you do wireframes or page description diagrams? I always need something to help me conceptualize what it is that I want to build, more than just a few bullet points or flowcharts. As a designer/developer, I find it easiest to just dive

As a simple example, back in the earlier days, Wordpress was mostly a collection of a many, many functions. As it has matured, it's become more class based and slightly less functions. Perhaps more importantly, many of the functions now hav
