The FCC (like everyone else) claims to measure worse case scenario only. The top article talks about the FCC measuring at 5 mm distance rather than against the head. There is more distance from reality [pun mine] in the iphone 4 manual. &qu

I could see a room outfitted to spec become a standard some day. Starting with a working microphone.

Sounds like you just had a viable adtech idea that no one is using because there is to much overhead. It takes a bit more to turn it into a sales pitch but I could see it work.

I had 2 thoughts: 1) I remembered how much everyone hated web directories (or did we?) and how annoying it is to have to click though to get to a page. 2) The other thought was that we've been here before. The solution back then was to

It is property and it is for commercial purposes. 50 k is just a wild guess. It also doesn't have to jump there in a day. In my cities shopping street an increasingly large number of stores became investment vehicles for people who jus

A review by humanoids would consider historic context. End of the day the end user should benefit. Killing off your thunder isn't good for anyone, until it is.

It use to be this: Making something that works is step 1, then you rewrite it again and again until performance is what you need from the application. What seem like bad ideas work sometimes and what seems like a good approach may not work.

I like the automated ranking. The issue you see with popular websites could be fixed by asking for a panel to review your website against a fee. Reviewing who should own google.com would cost 5 euro, other more complex reviews would be more

You could limit sales to nationals and adjust the fee to force productive use. .tk is still free tho! http://www.dot.tk/en/index.html?lang=en

Just raise the annual fee to 500 USD. 3 letter domains 50 k, 2 letter domains 100 k, words that are in the dictionary 25 k, refunds for squatters.

well put, I would even go as far as estimating domain value and matching the squatters prices. Or put differently, lets make real-estate on domain-street as expensive as it should be. Something like: 2 letter domains 100 000, 3 letter ones

Not sure what you mean with better. However great the content is doesn't matter. Producing great content consistently is already going to cost money. Buying readers is going to cost even more. How much would it cost to take on say news

It's not what they say it is that they dance around the same narrow narrative. How many billions of news worthy topics would there be? We both come to HN in our search for something interesting to read or talk about. After the limited,

Maybe some modal dialog "For proper functionality this website requires the use of animations." With an "agree" and a "not sure" button, a "read more" link and a checkbox to set a cookie.

Someone living in a dictatorship (I dunno which) told me there is one advantage to it: No one believes the official news. He got the impression people in the west really believe everything they read while in reality our western news is as p

I changed a boring linear telemarketing script into a flow chart (with lots of clever jokes in it) that instructed the marketeer to thank people and terminate the conversation slightly prematurely. (in stead of trying to force people though

At this stage it is not actually important if anyone could be hurt or dies. The topic is the global state of human rights and persecution of criminals in important positions. Hundreds of millions gave their lives for our freedoms many of wh

Its a war over controlling the narrative. The little people seem clueless about what will, can and probably should happen when the status quo loses their grip on them. If people had half a clue about the prosperity that awaits them the narr

Like that it's funny to be a human. When all features have been added its so complicated one might as well start from scratch.... Wait I can put it even worse: What the Father Does, the Son Does - John 5:19-23

I test RSS/Atom readers/aggregators with an OPML with at least 2000 entries in it. Most look pretty bad after that... they kinda all looked pretty b...baaad. (My own was never ready for normal use) My bias has it that Apple news

The person to have the idea is not the one ideally fit to execute it, the person to execute the idea is not one ideally fit to run the company. But one can learn. If one was good enough at the previous step there is some wiggle room. I also

Just a strange thought: Education will lag behind if its looking for waves of jobs. I think one can bet on a thing before it becomes the next newfangled hipster must have/employee not found error. Things might cowabunga if the instruct

Asking the right questions starts with looking at the wrong candidates. Is a central-control domain system a good idea? What else is there? What else can one think of? Is trusting anyone good architecture? Is there still hope to implement s

I wonder what the gamification effect would be if we paid everything by the second. I think for example transitioning from social support to employment would be more attractive. Switching everything to any other system all at once would ind

From a user perspective: Just stop visiting those websites. The internet echo chamber will repeat those exact same articles a million times (not kidding) Until we stop visiting these places their business model works and they are doing what
