The list of all supported seller countries according to Google: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answ... It is crazy. Edit: To be clear, this is a list of countries which can publish paid ap

I can assume what challenges Google is facing based on how successful other companies in the space are in providing the same service, namely Microsoft and Apple. Google: 32 countries Apple: 90 countries (probably more now, info from 2012) M

I know Google's policy on this, but I completely understand where the developer is coming from. Google has been taking a collective shit on every developer out of its list of seller countries[0], which is ridiculously short and hasn&#x

I have been at times vocal in opposition to the type of companies that YC has funded in the past few batches, as the possibility of them improving life quality for people that actually need the improvement seemed quite small, largely based

I wonder how the nature versus nurture aspect comes into play in this. Are male and female brains inherently wired differently, or do they wire differently as we grow up due to the different experiences and upbringing men and women are subj

The upvotes are likely from people wondering "is there something to see here?", who want to get HN's two cents on the topic, which turns out to be very boring, as you explained. Edit: Any reason for the downvote? I genuinely

Reproducibility in science is something that badly needs this push. It's an incredibly difficult "sell" to anyone with funds for research, and I'm extremely happy that they've found capital for it. The foundations o

Just ordered, and your reply is confusing me a bit regarding the measurements. I entered some measurements under "My Profile", are those all I need to enter, or will there be a different interface once the campaign ends? First tim

This is incredible. Readability, speed, interface, just a great job all around. Maybe mobile web apps are the future after all :).

The displayed workflow is horrendous. And that's just one aspect of the sub-par experience of doing "real work" on pure touch screen devices. The poll sums it all up nicely. What users want is real multitasking, a keyboard, a

Not to discredit your personal experience, but my experience is much closer to Ensorceled's post. All the obstacles I've encountered are on the regulation and/or cronyism of the institutions side. The doctors themselves are s

I don't think the people who work on these "useless" apps are to blame, rather it's the system in which they are brought up in and in case of start-ups, are taught entrepreneurship in. Paul Graham himself says he advises

I had an argument about these type of services when Instacart showed up, not a well-thought out one, but here goes. My first thought with these services is always "that's cool!". I'll save time, won't have to bother

I guess this is an MVP by itself. My two cents, your premise is that you are experts at building great things, with a lot of experience, yet there is 0 information about who "you" actually are and no way to get to know you/ch

This is more developer related, but one of the biggest news is a backwards compatible ActionBar in the official support library. All that's left to say is a big, enormous thank you to Jake Wharton for keeping us all sane until now. Edi

Seems it is picking up speed again. If they could keep the price below 700$ for everyone, I think it might even go through, but then they'd probably go bankrupt. As a side-note, it's insane that raising $32 million with crowdfundi

There might be some financial sense in backing this, whether you intend to use it or not. If it does not get funded, you get your money back. If it does get funded and made, you'll be an owner of a limited edition run of a beastly phon

Guantanamo Bay is one of the most disgusting institutions in the "civilized world". How is this acceptable? Treating humans as garbage, no trial, just meat stored for torture. Every day this piece of shit prison is open is a god d

The annotation aspect of Rap Genius always gets me dreaming of a site with "completely commented code" through crowd-sourcing. Every single line/block of code of various open source projects explained thoroughly. When I start

This is where the potential of bitcoin shines through. Congrats to the team at Kipochi, this is what the promise of an online currency is all about.

Do you have any stats from your analytics you could share? It would be great to see the business side effect.

Not that I'd wish monetary loss on anyone, but if the first Bitcoin crash is any indication, these things tend to have a positive side-benefit of driving out most of the speculators flooding in after all the news reports that fuel these cyc

Whoever takes charge, I hope he/she keeps Mozilla going in the same direction it has been in the recent past, because the work coming out of that company has been nothing short of amazing in my opinion. Basically, Mozilla, don't change, you

This seems largely in contradiction with the original post, unless you're saying Matt isn't being truthful. He says he spends 50% time coding, which seems like a huge chunk of his time considering his "unofficial" title, definitely not a no

Out of curiosity, did you see any uptake on that option? A lot of places seem to be adding the BTC option lately, but I haven't managed to find any good sources on how much use there is once the option is provided.

Isn't it only a problem for fonts without subpixel hinting? I've used a fair amount of custom fonts, most render perfectly fine, and looking at well-designed apps I never felt like it's an issue.
