Well, either WiMAX or LTE could become widespread in developed countries by 2011 - 2013, thats what I read in pre-meltdown reports (summer 2008 and earlier). Now it's probably going to take more time. I believe WiMAX will stay as a niche wi

That's a really great idea as troubleshooting and checklists are much more deterministic than "what city you should live in" type of questions

That's really sad. I'm in Russia, I thought that worst computer labs are here (CRT monitors, Windows 98/2000, 100Mb quotas, no running overnight jobs, etc). IMHO what you're describing is a clear manifestation of oldskool 'computers are com

Alexa says (for ycombinator.com, of which 95% is HN) USA - 52.8% India - 12.3% UK - 5.3% Germany - 5% Canada - 3.5% No, I don't claim it to be accurate :)

Not only medicine undermines biological evolution. Evolution works in such a way that those who make more children become dominant. 'Many children' is not one of the values of our society, so people whom our society values most do not drive

You can not fight the materialization of thoughts without fighting these thoughts. If enough people think X, X will be normal sooner or later, even if it was illegal. It is normal that Women and minorities have equal rights with white men n

I am not PG, but just from the top of my head, I think the application should at least show that: - You <em>understand</em> what you're building, who needs it and why - You care about this project (incl. that you have alread

If Microsoft claimed that IE was the first browser to offer tabbed browsing, a dedicated search field, etc. - would your reaction be the same? And how is Opera inferior to Safari? Opera's market share is lower than Safari's, of course, sinc

Yes, but in that case other web analytics packages will also have access to referrer that contains the search query and there is no problem. I wasn't clear enough, sorry - I was concerned with how Google could be able to share the search qu

by raquo 18y ago
I can't really see how google can easily pass the search query to Google Analytics. GA requires atomic data to perform all this analysis and custom segmentation magic. The only way I see is using a cookie (with a user id) on the google.com

Programming (arguably) is not an end it itself. Programs are written to be useful to people, who don't care what tools/languages were used to create what's useful to them. A website does not turn out useless if its backend is written in PHP

In Russia too, ICQ is the dominant IM protocol. Many geeks use jabber though (together with ICQ). And Livejournal is the dominant blog platform. I guess the network effect (resulting from being first to market?) has something to do with it.

OS X is great in terms of productivity, I would recommend it highly. There are a number of limiting factors, though. 1) Not everyone needs this, but you won't get absolute compatibility with MS Office - MSO'08 for Mac can't read some stuff
