Lemon wallet will do this - though I've had very mixed success using it, with barcode readers.

I don't know - but I do know that if no one goes to jail for reckless driving, people will continue to drive recklessly. And it's not just bicyclists who die from reckless driving - lots of motorists die as well. And yet, hardly

I don't know about OWaz, but I get bored quickly, so if I read one book last night, I'm not likely to want to read the same book tonight. If I have no other book in the queue I'll probably end up reading HN on the iPad, if I

I used to bring this out in people. Some things I felt were truly nasty were said. As 'yesimahuman' says, mainly by people very personally, and/or financially invested in the startup scene. Since I’ve stopped hanging out so

I'm not sure the general public needs the level of trust you are describing. The have an email address somehow, from a Facebook chat, business card, or spam mail - and that's the level of trust in identity they are currently comfo

I was thinking that - but more than that I was thinking of FSs that allow UTF8 or UTF16 characters - which do not allow invalid code points. But from this morning's research that seems to only be NTFS and UTF16, which is not exactly a

I’m agree on the last point - but I’ll point out that at this point we already have policy limitations on what makes a file name. As I understand it most unixes require that they are composed of valid characters (not random bytes (or more e

I imagine so - but if you spidered your site as part of the dist process (or just your video URLs) this could be neatly eliminated (and you could eliminate the transcode stage from the process, which is usually a pretty crazy stage.)

Quick comment - the typo in the first bullet point is glaring: 'Prosessing' should be 'Processing'.

As I found your phrasing confusing, and to be clear for others, non-profit board-members also have a fiduciary duty to the stakeholders not to enrich themselves at the expense of the mission.

In my book If you don't enjoy doing it not a hobby. If you care about ROI, and profit it is a business. For me weather something is a business or a hobby has more to do with outlook than anything else. A few lucky people have insanely

I’d assume they’d do what you suggest they already do sometimes - make the segment without a leaderboard. Just show your times. I like your suggestion better than mine. But it seems that Stava is trying to shirk as much responsibility as p

I’m not sure - I’ve coded several "micro-businesses". They make small amounts of money, and cost small amounts of money to run, and take almost no time. One for example makes about $500 revenue with $200 expenses and 2 hours a ye

You could start with this map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_the_United_Stat... It doesn't need to be precise - it just shouldn't encourage reckless, illegal behaviour.

Not a Strava user - but the mention of 70mph winning speeds, makes me think that Strava should eliminate segments from their database where in order to win you need to violate the speed limit. As a baseline they should not be encouraging p

Cool - so not checkout, there are still plenty of google services that don't/didn't and sorting them out is not easy.

Asking for the loan of book you'd won't be reading. Things like that read false, and mess things up. It needs to be something that actually helps you out, to give the right social signals.

Google Checkout is a good example, the founders and the accountant all needed access when we were using it. It's much easier to create one account we all shared - than grant access to all 3 accounts, for all things accounting related.

I use this occasionally for social, not professional, purposes and it seems to work quite well. It’s sometimes a bit tricky to think up a favor the right size for the state of your relationship, but still useful enough to be real. Fake fav

In case anyone else is tempted: I tried to add the "new" page, and additional pages of the main results - however the API that drives this ( http://api.ihackernews.com/ ) has been failing to return those pages for

Another option involving scraping, but allowing some human intervention, would be to have a default title - and have a new, and optional "edit the title" page for submitters. This would hopefully decrease the number of edited titl

I think these are exceptionally good ideas. The only reason I typically care about this conversation is that a year ago or so I was tracking an article that I saw the "new" page, and it got its title changed to something insanely

I think people need to say "this is fine for one organization, but not for another". Or one person and not another. One houseplant and not another. American society is overly fond of one size fits all rules - that on one hand en
