No, a screenshot would not be interesting enough IMHO. It seems that you want to prevent people from experiencing your site without signing up first. Why is this? If you hide the value of your site behind the sign-up link, hardly anybody wi

This reminds me of a sketch by Mitchell and Webb (a pair of British comedy actors). It is a satirical news broadcast, in which Mitchell points out that the fact that there was not a single death from drowning in the local region proves that

That sounds horribly inefficient and expensive, and doesn't really solve the problem. Standardised battery packs would be a much better solution than making each manufacturer operate a national/global network of recharging station

There are ways to express your uncertainty about a business model without appearing to denigrate the effort the creator has put in to it. You could have asked the OP if he is concerned about people sharing his content after they have purcha

What is your goal with this comment? I'm genuinely curious - so many ShowHNs result in a vapid comment such as this, and I always wonder what the person was hoping to achieve. vasylslobodian - congrats on shipping, good luck with it!

Indeed, the title is misleading. While shykes does have a track record of making some, let's say, inadvisable posts here on HN, he didn't tell anyone to "fuck off", and I don't think it is fair for the title to impl

Agreed - at the end of the day, the decision to divorce comes from within the marriage. I'm not casting blame here - just curious about whether any scenario would lead him to feel culpable about spreading leaked information. IMHO it&#x

If "some wacko" killed his family and himself as a result of your disclosure, would you feel any culpability at all? Of course, you didn't force them to join the site, but you did make the decision to disclose the information

Seconded. My (non-backlit) Kindle really doesn't feel like I'm reading from a screen. It's a totally different experience from reading on my phone or laptop.

You don't see any value in a marketplace that matches drone pilots with those needing drone pilots? Drones aren't just toys any more. There are good business cases for using video shot from a drone.

Thanks. I was mostly interesting in seeing a source for maaku's statement of "Now ask yourself how decisions are made regarding new infrastructure deployments", as it seemed pretty condescending to me.

In the coming years we will see a lot more applications powered by deep learning. If someone releases a chip that provides 10x performance compared to the current GPU-based method, they will sell a lot of chips.

One way to do this is to look at the "awsc-login-display-name-account" div, which contains your account ID. You can then alter the look of the page (perhaps making the top header bright red) depending on which account ID is in use

I think this approach dilutes the meaning of the term keylogger. For example, Google sends your keystrokes as soon as you start typing in the search box, and uses this for autocomplete. Presumably you didn't read the full T&Cs befo

Did you know IKEA's catalogue was 75% CGI before reading that article? I knew some was, but I had no idea it was that high of a percentage. I guess this could be rephrased to "No obviously fake/CGI product photos". The C
