Honestly, Apple reached the point a long time ago where they are trying to set the bar higher to make an app, not lower. They even flat out said, "no more fart apps". So I think they consider themselves to be at the app saturation

There are still some up and running electronics stores out there like Fry's where I can build a PC from parts. If Radio Shack had stayed the same maybe they would still be in business. Instead every year I walked in they were less and

My grandma's house was in Bergen county. Originally I was against the law, considering it just a hold back of more religious times, but pretty much no one supports keeping the law due to religion. Everyone just says it is nice to have

I used to date a model who spent $5-10k a month on shoes and clothes. Saving sales tax could save a lot. Not that it would be saved, just spent on other things, of course.

At this point, no photo storing company is reliable. It might actually be a competitive advantage to form some sort of photo sharing company that has legally committed to not letting a big guy buy them and shut down their service like this.

Yeah, false positives is what destroyed that company recently that had convenience store HIV tests. Lots of people who bought stock lost their shirts on that one.

Actually there are quite a few organisms where stress intentionally causes mutations and this is advantageous so isn't bred out. So as long as you gate high mutation rate behind some trigger it is beneficial. If a population is dying d

Well, there was no GUI involved, but such man machine hybrid wars did often occur in MUDs, particularly ones with player killing and guilds. You would often have a set of alts controlled by scripts doing automated tasks like crafting iron f

Keep in mind that facebook filters your default feed view by who you interact with the most. So if you want more of a certain person's posts, make sure to like/comment on anything they post (and hopefully they do the same to you).

Wow, that was page after page of explanation and they didn't even say why they did it. The closest they came is some sort of weird double speak about striking a balance with the people who sent the take down notices. There is no way to

What makes you think it won't scale? Seems to mesh well with all the PR about drones all over the place lately. I could easily see the helicopters being replaced with remote piloted drone taxis within a decade.

It's pretty common to fail someone out at that point. If you wanted to be charitable you could try to ask them questions as much like homework questions from university as possible. "Write out in [psuedo] code how you would add tw

On most sites like this a little context can be added by the title on the social news site, but Hacker News does not allow that. Moderators will change the title to whatever the page has.

This was sort of a public beta, like GMail. A product division won't show it to anyone until it is done. Maybe even hide it in a fake casing like so many phones.

Disappointed owner here. I'm a developer, but I'm not going to write software for a product that isn't even for sale. There just won't be enough users, and even if I wrote something that justified the cost of buying it,

Not really a fan of it. My Nexus 4 updated to it and is really buggy. Sometimes I'll go back to the home screen and there are no icons until I swipe away and back. Wish I could just turn off all the new gratuitous animations since they
