I wonder how skewed this community is. Within the HN world there is a healthy skepticism about the value of Twitter, yet at the same time support for it, and everyone claims to be getting value from the service. Outside of this bubble what

most blogs are database backed. this ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=699780 ) had promise but it seems to have been both abandoned and gone. I can write one obviously, but I was hoping to find something that did the layout like pen.io

I like this, however, I'd rather this be something I could deploy privately on my own web hosting. I've been looking for a simple cms system when I write plain text files and something like this generate all the pagination, layout and so fo

first we have to come to some kind of consensus about what is happy. It's not easy to define or all agree on what happiness means. I work at Oracle and one of the things that took me by surprise when I joined (besides that the coffee in sta

after watching the video I don't see anything you do that google chat doesn't and quite a lot of the reverse. I wish you all the best but the reason you're having difficulty in differentiation perception is because the products are all very

who'd have thought that by now, email clients are not a done-deal. It's awesome to see people still bringing out thick mail clients and people liking them. A few years back everyone rushed to move apps to the web for no-install and no-versi

why? the readability of many modern pages is considerably improved over plain text.

that's because 'online' doesn't do much selective filtering. Lets say you go the symphony (of the orchestral type, not the framework) and meet some boys. You are selecting , let's say you go a coffee shop in the Mission, or Lower Haight, a

doesn't this mean though that you'd have to keep them off the internet in general? It's not like (no pun intended) Facebook is the only forum for expressing one's opinions.

I think the challenge here is remembering this when I next want to create a survey, not something I have any immediate need for.

this misses the point, if you hard-code the result then still the other languages are more concise.

I don't have facebook so sadly cannot play, my girlfriend does but I don't see any upside is showing this to her :) from reading how it works, it seems that it might be a good idea to offer some hints to bias the match, possibly with locati

What is the justification for believing this? What should we understand? I don't think anyone can really understand fads, its like why is one song so catchy and others not, quantifying that is very difficult. Why should facebook win out cur

you're not measuring how busy a place is, but rather matching demographics between foursquare users and the various museums. I wouldn't be surprised to find that foursquare check-in's is a very poor proxy for this kind of venue. For bars/cl

Is the engineer that discussed this still an employee I wonder.... Although the article doesn't really reveal anything that any person with reasonable skill in the art of clustering, machine learning et al would not easily guess.

wow, if they didn't come from such big companies I doubt anyone would pay the slightest attention, the idea alone makes me want to yawn, then I started watching the video and gave up. How many times have people come up with these super new

I hate to make such a banal comment, but when I see things like this I cannot wait to redesign my website and use this ultra-cool technologies. After programming for 25 years I am grateful to this plugin and the developer(s) for the excitem

I don't believe this was OT, the poster made it clear how it related to the article; that the BBC has an obligation to their funders (the British taxpayers.)

Does it matter? Isn't the point to read these ideas and to as with all good ideas they get told in many forms. As with art movements, perspective shifts and whole genres of the arts move in unison, from performing arts to fine art. Unless a

that jumped out at me too, but one has to think that a bunch of clearly dedicated scientists (I'd have gone home at -10) would have given thought to pumping CFC's into a pristine lake. Let's hope so

I'm curious, having been away from Java for a few years, are there competing libraries that I should be aware of before using something like this?

why not automate this, have a job run when an article is submitted to cluster it and if the cosine similarity is very high to a previous submission in the past n months reject it? Seems pretty easy for such a traffic'd site.

Is that Gizzable that's overlaying the annoying box of like/vote tools making it difficult to actually read the page? There's no drag capability so it doesn't mask the content??

why would the founding team leave with $75m worth of Google stock on the table, all they have to do is show up for three more years. Given a choice between a nice job at Google with a multi-million dollar salary doing the thing you love wit

thank you - it was a good product, but sadly the company melted down, took something that worked and decided to spend a year re-writing it in COM; meanwhile portal sits like Yahoo! came along and eat their lunch. A disastrous CEO that turne

what a bad name, it's hard to even search for them. Turning down $100m was insanity, and the friction between co-founders will very likely fester and be terminal for them.
