Somewhat off topic: I have a beautiful Polaroid Spectra E camera ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbao/4513815836/ ) which came with an empty film canister (but the dry cell battery inside still worked! http://vimeo.com/10859532 ). Anyone kn

Heroku user here. One word encompasses Heroku: incredible. Fastest Rails deployment I have ever seen. I'm not surprised that they received the funding—more like really excited. EDIT: Also, the add-ons they have are really good, and they hav

Seriously. I've found it's easier to make someone do something when you don't have your teeth clenched at first, looking to attack. If she approached that with a "Could you help me figure out..." or "I think you should probably fix..." atti

I think that would completely go against the concept of Twitter: short-form communication.

Good review. I personally prefer the HTC keyboard. Whereas I couldn't stand typing on the Android 2.1 stock keyboard, the HTC_IME keyboard pictured is great.

WOW. That is really impressive. Serious kudos for efficiency. It's weird to think that at any given moment, you're subject to a search and seizure (or any other kind of law enforcement ...enforcing) which will interrupt your life for someti

Sorry—definitely didn't mean to frame you guys. Definitely aware of that, which is why I mentioned law enforcement in general. The whole thing kind of makes sense (holding equipment to make sure no potential evidence is released without a f

I wish the best of luck to Jason for getting his stuff back. Forensics/law enforcement is notorious for not returning your stuff in a timely manner (think years) without a lawsuit. Hope he has an offsite backup.

Because most Hacker News users aren't accredited investors (in the US, $1 million net worth, or $200,000+ annual income for 2 years running.) I imagine it'd somehow be possible, but it's legally messy. On the other hand, I imagine it'd be p

(different comment, different question) It sounds like renouncing your citizenship is somewhat permanent. If you ever wanted to come back for an extended period of time, can you re-apply for Permanent Residency? I was a citizen of China (no

Can an expat/tax guru shed some light onto how that whole tax thing works? Do you pay local tax + US federal tax, or something?

How did you market it?

Yeah, it'd be like an electron colliding with a positron. The only thing that'd be left would be gamma rays.

Upon recommendation from users on HN, I replaced my Chrome default search engine with Duck Duck Go. I haven't looked back since. Results are excellent, the zero-click data is amazing, and the semantic analysis ("Java can mean different thin

Quora is one of those really amazing sites that you really enjoy using a lot because the UI and UX are impeccable. Things are responsive, actions have weight, and it's just overall very pleasant to use. Congratulations on that—it's nothing
