What is the process like for using it on iPhone? Do you need to always be running a companion app in the foreground? Have you considered adding support for Google Voice, if you can't access native text messages?

Someone saying "I decided today to become a life-long customer of company X!" does not mean that person will care at all about, or even remember, that claim five years from now.

I was going to point this out for them. It's particularly harmful because it's in the second sentence...

The point was that, in the clarification, he explains that each step of the Apple TV interface was a step forward, but the original tweet strongly suggests that he thinks the interface is worse now.

Who's "they"? TechCrunch? Or the engineer that hasn't worked at Apple since 2008?

It's a "mistake" from the perspective of users who wish it were on a platform they used, but it's not a mistake from the perspective of Marco, who is busy enough working on the iOS and server components of the service; an Android version wo

It seems like a lot of people maintain code for these stylesheets on github (so it's easy for the developer to maintain), and then publish to stylebot or stylish (so it's easy for the user to update and maintain). I've always wondered why t

Strongly disagree. It may not be perfect, but it certainly is more pleasant than the native view on HN.

I agree with your sentiment, but it's just untrue that he can't respond on Hacker News. He may have reasons to not do it, but he certainly has the ability to.

GMail really got 90 million new users since October? Why? Seems like an especially random time.

In most cases you can, but why provide the easily accessible domain information at all if it's misleading in so many situations?

I suppose friction is part of the point with inbound hiring, but it is rather frustrating trying to find an email; should I use the DDG "Ask a question" form, the open@duckduckgo.com email, or are you guys just not interested in people you

I'm currently interviewing at Amazon, and I have no clue what department I'm interviewing for. I've heard hiring decisions are made strictly by the team that you'd be joining, so is this something I should know before going in for an on-sit

Very interesting. I'm also working on a senior undergraduate thesis project in a vaguely similar domain (static typechecking of Python, github.com/jruberg/pyty), so I have a couple questions: - Is the code open source? If not, did you just

But you are assuming that each of those three possibilities has equal probability; can you explain the rationale for that? (it is clear why BB, BG, GB, and GG have equal probability in the unrestricted case, but less clear why BB, BG, and G

Let's try a simpler problem. Suppose we know that a certain man has two children and we also know that the older one is a boy. In this case we would say that the probability that the other child is a boy is 1/2. After

Personally, I agree (although I haven't actually read any books yet, but I'm interested). But I would much rather spend 100% of my time playing the game and 0% learning mechanics than I would spend 50% of my time playing and 50% learning me

Has anyone read the Kindle edition of the 59 Seconds book linked to in the article? Trying to decide if it's worth buying.

The point is: would you rather spend your time playing the game, or reading someone's stab in the dark on the mechanics of the game based on his/her personal experience and questionable expertise?

In a medium of strictly words, "show, don't tell" means that you should use your words to illustrate something, not just describe it. In a visual medium, I really think that a bunch of screenshots does exactly what "show, don't tell" is try

I really don't think you can blame Amazon for the high prices of ebooks. From the publisher's perspective, ebook prices are disastrously low. There does seem to be quite a bit of inconsistency on the part of the publishers, though. They com

This is actually what the new online Stanford CS classes seem to be aiming towards. I've only been following ml-class, so I can't attest for the ai and db classes, but the ml-class's lecture videos are structured very much like Khan Academy
