There's people who try everything that is new and enjoy innovation, and there's people who tend to be skeptical at first. The first kind is busy trying out the software while the others are busy expressing their negativity on a we

Seems way off topic. Sometimes it seems as if HN-users are feeling so guilty about the whole bro-gramming topic, that they up vote anything that has to do with women..

High Frequency Trading seems so abstract. There's no value created, it seems. It's like something in between imperfect systems, scraping off the margin created by that imperfection. It's fascinating, and interesting from an a

Procrastination is just being lazy. Laziness is a habit. That person overcame the habit using this method. Good for him, but this is a somewhat complicated way of doing it.

I don't want to connect to my appliances using a phone. I also don't need a high-tech smoke detector. I have them in all rooms, they work, no false alarms. If I need light, I turn on the light. A device for gadget nerds. Unnecessa

I definitely don't need more notifications! :) I don't, but I like projects that expand the functionality of an application. For example things like https://www.hnsearch.com .

Why enter a subscription to buy clothes? There's thousands of websites to buy clothes from. Without a subscription. Amazing.

Telling people that you should blog makes it actually less likely that you will actually do it. Read that on some psychology website once. ;)

The demo doesn't work? (Safari) There's no point in making web stuff if you can't support major browsers.. EDIT: I take it back. mdkess is right.

Somebody should start selling bumper-stickers with catchy phrases like this. I'd get one for my car.

This seems to be a sort of iterative clustering of a graph to find highly connected nodes. I suppose a similar result is reached by sorting users in a sub-graph by the time they spend online on that social network, since more time spent onl

Greenwald somewhere mentioned that there's material for months to come if I am not mistaken. So besides that he's doing a good job (agreed), I think Snowden simply provided a huge amount of information.

I suspected there was going to be a mass exodus. NSA basically killed cloud-computing. I don't think it will come back soon. And while on the subject, consider selling your Microsoft stock. How many enterprise customers will choose Mic

Apparently there's some proof that too much pornography is bad for you. [1] Not too mention all the multitasking. Other than that the Internet is like every other thing. It has good and bad sides. I, for one, have faith in teenagers. T

But they are! And this is a very important issue to be dealt with. I'm very disappointed by all the companies and all governments involved, and I earn money writing iOS and cloud-applications. And I understand it's bad for busines

Yeah, but FWIW, as a foreigner traveling to the US, I already had to give my fingerprints to Homeland Security. So they are on file I suppose.

Sigh. Always the same complaint.. A couple of thoughts: 1. He is expected to comment or answer questions like this ALL THE TIME. People only have so much patience. Don't believe me? Go to a poor country as a tourist and see how quickly

Sorry, but this is not a good article. Instead of telling me what to do based on a small dataset of evidence, I'd much rather read what you have done. What worked for you. I don't think the author knows what he is talking about.

Yeah exactly. This should be a top comment. But apparently everyone is moving on, business as usual, as if the case were closed. And a lot of people could not access your accounts. And read your email. Apparently some UI-issue is a bigger t
