Yet, you are still an outlier. I also work from home and telecommute, but I enjoy living in a city because of the diversity of choice available for nearly every endeavor, be it schooling, dining, or cultural. If telecommuting does become th

Well, this was just reported on Saturday, so I doubt anyone has really had a chance to look into it seriously, let alone reproduce the issue. It looks like it could be a bad bug, but I think it's premature for HN front page at this point. G

It seems like this could be made into a even more generic experiment service. Sort of like Mechanical Turk for science experiments, where you pay other scientists to reproduce your results?

Experiments have hypotheses and controls. This feels more like art.

There is a net increase in jobs, but that's mostly in developing countries. Technology (the internet, container shipping) has actually enabled an explosion of job growth in those countries. Unfortunately, these trends destroy jobs in deve

Would google exist if not for investments in education and r&d made by US taxpayers over the past 50 years?

Yet both the iPad nor the iPhone were manufactured in China. Hence, I'm curious why Steve Jobs reversed an opinion he previously worked so hard to support, as evidenced by the article.

"In Mr. Jobs's view, the factory testifies to the fact that the United States can still compete as both a low-cost and a world-class manufacturer when it sets its mind to the task." I suppose he has changed his position?

By machines, he mostly means simulated brains. I've always thought that a robotic singularity would result in an concentration of income in the hands of the capitalist/owner/shareholder since demand for human labor would diminish. But I thi

This seems like a cool service, but only until FaceBook Music comes out (which seems inevitable).

Is there an OSS package for automating checks for such practices? Ie, security lint checker?

It seems like someone clever could easily turn this policy against itself by reporting popular facebook pages for DMCA violations. Not that I would encourage or condone such activities.

I don't think it's nonsense. I'm quite surprised that (say) my calculator app could control my password manager. My password manager encrypts file storage, and automatically locks itself after usage, but is likely vulnerable to this attac

Yes, better support for running in multiple regions is clearly needed. There needs to be native support for transferring snapshots between regions (at the user's expense, of course).

Why is the federal government's involvement necessary? We have a (mostly) workable PKI system for SSL certificates. Why does a consumer-focused PKI require government coordination? I think the lack of a widely deployed PKI for authenticat

Having built a non-trivial production system, I have a love-hate relationship with AWS. I love the possibilities and potential, but I'm deeply disappointed when it fails to live up to the hype. It's just a matter of alternatives. There's

Now, start a business that lets you rent these per minute. You get to set the way points and receive all the photos/video via your browser or smartphone. It may not be this exact device, but I predict such a service within 3 years.
