Name-calling doesn't really add to the conversation.

Great question! I've radically changed my routine since moving to SF (~1.5 years ago) - love my current one. Two versions 1) (3-4 days a week) - Wake up 6:30-6:45. - Bathroom - Put in contacts, brush teeth - Put on shoes & sweats

Agreed - I've used GA for many years and it's indeed extremely powerful (especially for a free tool). And the tradeoff is fair, I think -- Google gives us a ton of power to analyze site data in exchange for, well, Google being ab

A quick spin through Segment.com's list of integrations show a TON of GA-like services. Anyone have any suggestions for an alternative to GA that provides the same type of data without the sampling / bloat / etc of GA?

It's interesting -- I'd read about this story before but hadn't seen the actual picture. If you have even a mild sense of off-color humor it's really not that bad (I get the joke even without being "in" on it.)

While it's a fun idea, I'm skeptical (though it would be cool!) I think it's far more likely that Apple ends up either designing a car for Tesla or, less-spectacularly, "powering" a car (which basically means expa

A related question I had was whether the Coast Guard resents doing this sort of work - "ugh, another idiot who got himself into trouble." In particular in the context of sailors and kiteboarders who get stuck in SF bay. The answe

Well, yes, but there's an argument to be made that while your cycle is certainly correct, the starting and ending points aren't necessarily fixed. Why not: More ads -> more $$ -> more information -> more organization -&gt

Very cool. Nerd question -- can you talk a bit about how you made it? Tech stack used, etc.? Always curious about that stuff, especially when on Show HN.

I agree with that perspective completely. The problem is that the people who are generally the most blindly pro-government say something like: "I've got no problem with that. I have nothing to hide." (I have a friend who sa

Excellent points. Thanks. First let me clarify that I agree the notion of "banning encryption" is misguided and wrong. I'm looking at Obama's position (perhaps incorrectly) as "we need to be able to have backdoors

An excellent point. I don't know if it's true. The government is certainly arguing it's true. How do we test that?

This is a great reply. Thank you. My thoughts based on it: 1) It's a tough sell to Average Joe. Average Joe wants it both ways - he wants Liberty AND to be protected from bad guys. Obama etc. were effectively hired to protect Avera

Allow me to ask what I'm certain is an incredibly naive question, so please bear with me. But it's a question that the average / non-tech folks ARE asking, and I'm not looking to be attacked, I'm looking for an inte

Very fair point. Perhaps my example wasn't the best of "fluff" -- but my point is still that the language of this deck is still (relatively) plain and to the point, and that should be a common goal. In general, I've fou

Agreed 100%. This would be hugely helpful for me (and others I hope): I get where Angular shines (heavy-lifting for single-page apps). The part I'm missing is how to do the day-to-day jQuery stuff in Angular. Change CSS classes on

That's awesome. Question: Could those post-degree auditors get any credit for those classes? Or was it simply for the content?

"Adult Education" has this nagging stigma associated with it (though, thankfully, that's changing due to MOOCs and such). But still -- even when the major universities offer it, it's seen with a skewed tilt by much of t

Sorry, bad choice of words on my part -- I shouldn't have said "any rational investor". What I meant is "any profit-focused, long-term investor" (as opposed to a moonshot-focused VC investor). I don't mean an

At the risk of sounding like a fool, I offer the following: I've looked at the Github page, read the README, and skimmed the documentation.... ...and I still have _absolutely_ no idea what this does or what its intended purpose is. No
