I have been playing Threes for quite some time, so it came as a surprise to me when several commenters on HN assumed that 2048 was the original and Threes was the derivative.

I like the idea of a hidden karma threshold, because it prevents any obvious attacks like "get to 50 karma and then approve bad comments".

I like DO for backup/secondary purposes, but until they allow more than 1 public IP per droplet (even for a fee!), I won't use them for any serious production.

I think that making it an extension of an existing phone was a good choice. When I heard that Apple was planning some sort of device for cars, I was imagining how much of a pain it would be to update apps and keep things in sync with a devi

His character in Ghostbusters 2 was a tech role model for me too. The idea that science and engineering could solve practical problems was eye-opening as a kid.

Ben & Jerry's used to have a similar policy, except it was "no more than 5x". Lasted until they picked up a CEO that wanted more than $150k/yr.

This feels just like the real game. I am just missing the predictive/"test" move that lets you see what would happen without actually moving the tiles.

I agree. The order I use: read the comments, read the article, and THEN post a comment if I have something to add.

I'd look at NetApp. They're consistently listed as one of the top places to work (in the US and worldwide) and have a variety of software projects (hardware/firmware work to web management tools).

It's not that it randomly shuts off, it's that the batteries drain incredibly quickly and the battery % indicator becomes inaccurate. I often see my 5 go from 60% to 40% to 15% to off in less than 60 seconds. The Apple site ran di

Well, it doesn't support mysqli_, which is a very common family of functions, especially since mysql_ is being deprecated. But a lot of stuff does run, as long as it doesn't need mysqli_.

The killer feature of Spotify over Rdio is the ability to sync and integrate your personal music collection. With Spotify, I can make playlists that combine their material with my own MP3s, and it all syncs seamlessly to my phone. Rdio lock

Banks have no obligation to lend someone money if they don't think they can repay. Loans aren't a privilege, or a right. The banks reserve the right to refuse anyone.

These are the same people that were going to the mall on the 24th (pre-Amazon) and complaining that everything was out of stock. We are nowhere near instantaneous transportation, so there will always be logistical delays. Planning your holi

I'm taking it easy and just rebuilding by Linode with 64-bit Ubuntu (instead of the 32-bit Ubuntu I picked years ago) so I can try out HHVM. HHVM seems interesting, but there's no 32-bit build, so I need to document and migrate to

StartSSL will let you do a multi-domain wildcard cert for $75 for 2-years (with identity verification). You toss all of your root domains on a single cert as wildcards, and use it everywhere. Cert lasts for 2 years and can be updated at any

In addition to having most music everywhere, I find that the Spotify sync experience is amazing. I make playlists of Spotify songs and my personal MP3s, and Spotify syncs the entire playlist to my phone. The ability to mix Spotify content w

I like the idea, but it was the Dashboard (and stats) on their landing page that sold me, and sadly that feature is not even in the build yet.

Spotify makes an amazing product. I went from spending hundreds a year on CDs and MP3s to just paying their subscription fee. It's like Netflix for music, except they actually have EVERYTHING you want and it's there the minute it
