I guess you are new here, but HN is heavily, heavily edited and moderated. Posts get killed all the time, if they don't have their titles changed or URLs swapped, for not being exactly what certain people want, and other posts resurrec

Reading news is procrastination. It's easier to rationalize than other forms, however. Not as obviously useless as watching TV. It's addictive because you don't have to go do work or something novel, but don't feel like

Definitely. If dynamic prescription support adds $10 to the bill of materials vs. fixed, order ahead of time prescription support - then it ain't shipping. Patent is exciting, but making a popular consumer product isn't about cram

I actually know a lot of asian women who like watching what's essentially food tourism TV series and even recommend them to me. Food is definitely a genre that has fans. Besides big fancy ones that go to new cities and regions every ep

The free trial code was pretty poorly implemented. I remember I signed up, and it didn't let me watch immediately. By the time I verified email or whatever the heck they wanted and tried again, the trial had expired and so I never even

Not really surprising there. It's a diuretic, that is it make you pee, and it's a fluid. Drinking lots of water and peeing a lot is known to help prevent kidney stones.

Because if you don't offer your app on their app store, you get hardly any users, and make no money at all. 70% > 0%.

Companies do that, but you have to scrub all references to outside app purchases from the app itself. I've had app reviews fail on both Google and Apple for mentioning things like that.

Probably for the best here in the US. Police here jump on any excuse to use deadly force and hearing a bang sound from a cap gun would likely invite a hail of real bullets. Did you see a 9 year old girl was pepper sprayed recently? And that

That's like saying humans have consciousness, so strong AI is at least very plausible. Possible, sure? Possible in the next decade? Probably not.

He seems to have caught the issue dead on, since you seem to be arguing you know more about pumping blood than the surgeons based on a feeling - exactly what the people arguing consciousness can't arise from biology are doing. They fee

You don't triple fill all at once. The doctor calls in one prescription for, say January, then one prescription for February, then one for March. You have to go to the pharmacy each month, but the doctor only 4 times a year. Basically

At least on the mobile dev side, the only two platforms with enough users to matter are Apple and Google. I'm typing on a 64GB machine and Xcode takes 30 minutes to do a clean compile, and the CPU is pegged at 100% all day as it "

You are missing some techniques there. For example, to access any production user data where I work, I have to fill out a lease form and someone has to approve it. So you can technically have no one with admin access on their own without do

Your reply doesn't make sense. He said they won't fix it. You said he's wrong because he's not thinking about fraud. But not fixing it is better for preventing fraud anyway. So you both basically said they won't fix
