I like the concept. My wife used to work for plumgood food in nashville and the infrastructure build out seemed really expensive... seems like you may be able to avoid that with this if you partner with a local grocery store so you don't ha

I'm waiting for someone to build a social browser extension on top of something like this. Anyone could submit custom CSS/JS for a website and the most upvoted "theme" automatically gets loaded. Sure the JS security issues might be a nightm

Aka GrubWithUs Residential. You have a big challenge because eating dinner with someone at their home is really intimate. I wouldn't start with photo sharing-- you need to start working on the dinner mechanics right away. Go low tech. Pick

I would love to see twitter/facebook integration so you could have a shared folder with your social networks... i.e. napster with a legally defensible position.

4. SecureBrowse. Add a couple settings to your computer and no matter how/where you are connected to the internet it will route your trafic through your home router. I've seen an increasing number of "normals" that refuse get on public wifi

I recently switched to Zerigo after years with DNSMadeEasy. I got tired of their clunky interface from 1993 and their login captcha (?!). Zerigo has a fantastic UI, quite refreshing...

I was up in Manaus so I can see how the internet would be more expensive up there. The internet really is a great equalizer -- seems like a special economic zones for internet companies could have an amazing effect.

No, it's not. Most of my extended family is in Brazil so my wife and I decided to work remote from Brazil for a couple months this fall. It's hard to really understand how crippling the culture of bureaucracy and corruption is until you exp

Financial stability vs. love is a false dichotomy. You could also say that shift is from Community & Family Commitment to Emotionally Driven Radical Autonomy. Read Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam or look at what "love" marriages are doin

Look for the G-Drive in 2012 or 2013. It will be a piece of engineering genius that nobody will use. Over-engineering is Google's achilles heal and Dropbox is exploiting that brilliantly. Microsoft and Apple are irrelevant-- they are commit

This is cool. If they can make creating interactive content as easy as they make it to consume that would be amazing. There are quite a few artists that I would be happy to pay 20 bucks for a really compelling ipad experience.

It's interesting to me that the cars are legal under California law. It means they could theoretically partner with car makers to sell it as an expensive option -- advanced cruise control. Much less scary sounding than automated vehicles. O

Completely disagree. You just assume that corporations are going to be rolling out truck fleets without providing any evidence of the fact. The current reality seems to indicate right the opposite of what you seem to fear. It's independent

Congrats on taking on mapmyride -- I used mapmywalk recently and their "new" UI is quite rubbish -- I use GMaps now but it certainly lacks some features. The desktop concept seems like a lovely idea-- but just be careful about getting too c

This is SWEEET. My requests 1) Leaderboard: show the top 10 players plus my rank. Much more incentive to keep playing. 2) Tag the leader with some kind of color. 3) Bring a little more structure. No idea how to do this. If people call it We

He's not creepy, just honest. He knows in the future what we call "privacy" won't exist anymore. Every new innovation gets regulated by the government so that politicians get their cut. Right now we're seeing them redefine "privacy" to mean

Very clever. What if you used the same attack to modify the router's iptables and open a port to the outside world. Upload some patched firmware and you now have the worlds largest botnet.

That doesn't mean anything. Are you saying in team mode that everyone has equal access to everyone's data? Or do managers still get special controls? I would love to be proven wrong, but I sincerely doubt it's as democratic as you suggest.

Are you kidding me? RescueTime tries to capitalize on the "story" when their monitoring software is the very thing the story mocks. They want to have it both ways. As if any manager is going to volunteer to be accountable. The last paragrap

Saw these guys at BDNT a couple days ago. Love the smart toys concept. My dream is a personal UAV I can fly over the cell network. I want to drop my android phone into the cradle on the plane then sit back on my laptop and fly it around tow

Same story here. Our family was poor-- getting evicted was like a family past time. My brother and I were salvaging 8088s and 286s when 486s/Pentiums were selling for an unimaginable amount of $1400. We would dial into the library with our

Clearly articles like this are designed to promote the service rather have any substantive "hacker" news. That said, the front page looks compelling except for one thing -- NO PRICING. It doesn't matter if it's still in beta. You are asking

By this arbitrary criteria I would say there are about 100 times as many blogger-journalists than there are television-news-journalist. Those guys on TV need to stop giving the bloggers a bad name.

You have to read a cryptic 312 page document to get in on the new TLD domain game. What is this "ICANN" and where does all the money go when they release a new round of TLDs? Seems to me like it's all a game.

Ask HN: Anyone know how ICANN works? (gTLD application, 312 pages)(icann.org)

This poll is rubbish. "Are you a software pirate?" -- completely loaded question. You're not asking people if they use copyrighted software-- you're asking people to label themselves a PIRATE. Maybe I'll submit a poll about abortion "Are yo

New York can go fuck itself. It's insulting to the people that in a time of economic turmoil the politicians are still taking big fat campaign checks from the hoteliers and passing arbitrary bullshit laws that dick people over who are tryin

Yes, if you are willing to deal with the addiction. I've used modafinil from an indian pharmacy for a couple years now and it works great -- the biggest problem is that I just forget to take it.

We're pretty active on AirBnB and don't worry too much about theft. The fact that they require people's credit cards is a pretty good deterrent. If I was a woman traveling/hosting by myself I would be much more cautious, but no doubt it's s
