I often say "the Roman alphabet", which seems a bit odd. I suppose it's because I most frequently started talking about it in Japanese/Korean, where it's called "Roman letters". A bit of googling says that it can be called both Roman and La

I hovered over voting him down because it was such a terrible statement; but it certainly was not trollish. I think he honestly believes that a minefield is a legitimate answer. Whatever logical and moral failings he may personally have, we

Perhaps, but I think a slight disservice to Blank. I understand the argument and see its merit, but I also think that anyone who would be involved with them could just as easily have done it themselves.

I'm about to dive into some pretty heavy hardware stuff myself - I have all the equipment, supplies, and reading materials. It's definitely a different beast, and it feels like there are so many possibilities for startups to exploit in the

I'm not sure if you're expecting a congratulatory note or not. I'm sure Steve Blank knew that people could find the identity if they really wanted to, and yet he chose not to share it. Having even a small hurdle to overcome means that the v

Just a quick google search: http://www.w3.org/2009/05/DeviceAPICharter I only found out about this a few weeks ago, from another hn link. It's coming :)

Killing someone while drunk should be considered premeditated. Are you suggesting that in 100% of the cases where killing someone (and I assume this includes manslaughter) is premeditated? Because if you are not, then it should not be con

I had a chance to meet the devver guys, both very engaging and intelligent people. I know shutting down devver has to be incredibly painful, but I'm sure they'll put the lessons learned to great use in the near future. All the best to both

Very cool! Invoicing is a terrible (and least interesting) part of freelancing and consulting. This looks like a great MVP. I especially like that when I print it out, that there's no big "billmebob" logo at the top there. I think it would

Out of curiosity, do you happen to have chicken scheme working on the iphone? I've been developing a 3d engine with it for the past few days with the intention of porting it to the iphone, so if you have some progress already, that would be

Yes, it'll be done over webcam. We're testing out the format, see how it works. It's been successful for smaller size (4-5 people), so time to expand it a bit. Also, I'm curious about the back button not working. It's just a standard poster

This class level may start out a bit simple for a lot of hn people, but it might fill a niche as well. The idea is to have very short, very simple ideas taught quickly (10-15 minutes, including examples), followed by 25 minutes of questions

We're still trying to duct tape available tools together to do a panel-style interview. Tinychat seemed like the best bet so far, but there's a bit of lag (maybe inevitable), and there doesn't seem to be anyway of recording the video once i

No, we really appreciate you being part of our experimental "let's see how the hell to do this" phase :) UPMC sounds like an amazing challenge with a ton of opportunity, but only because you guys have come so far already. Congrats on gettin

Well, that makes sense, but it's not always how things play out. Especially if you're not in a position to order others to play fair: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxer_Rebellion#War_reparations

I believe that hn's vaksel runs a site close to that - http://styleguidance.com/ Although it does seem geared slightly more at women than men, I think it gets pretty close to what you're looking for. Perhaps vaksel can work with you to ro

That's an interesting alternative that may very well be true. I don't think it carries over to this discussion quite that well, as I'm not sure what the equivalent of urban sprawl, trains/group transit are in the context of internet infras

Very big congratulations to HeyZap - I had a chance to meet the team a bit ago, and they're all very sharp. Seems like they're exploiting a space that's wide open and waiting for innovation. I'm pretty excited to see where they go in the ne

Very nice to see a simple calendar of meetings, but are there no lisp meetups in the bay area? I was under the impression there was one in Berkeley at the very least. I'll see if I can't dig it up to email to you.

I'm not so sure. It just read like a series of interesting tricks, akin to when someone dives into lisp and starts to realize the cool things you can do with such syntactic flexibility. Of course you'll have a few, "Wow, that's cool! I can'

It's quite interesting to see the leverage that Twitter can exert on TC now. I certainly hadn't expected them to have any recourse against TC from their last incident, but they have users that are the equivalent of mini-diggs now, and have

Interesting to see just a slight overlay with Woobius' eye in the video. While of course quite different in its overall functionality, it just shows that whenever one person/team has an idea, 10 others got the same idea at the same time.

Fair enough style guidelines, even if they were only proposed. Wouldn't mind seeing a more formal guide like this for the entire ruby community.
