   I have to give this guy credit for trying. Not my bag but best of luck to him.

   Agreed. (and of course you were downvoted here). People love to hold Scandanavia up as an example as how the rest of the world "could be." However, I think that is such a naive point of view, and one that needs changing. Their populations a

   Nice hack -- I've been going this as inside of backbone.js app. I have a asset management app that uses keyboard shortcuts to quickly tag, choose, and manage photos. Had I know about this I might have used it rather than bundling it into my

   yeah -- I came across their site the other day. Would love to see some quantitative / qualitative numbers from that project.

   You need to check with the local authorities for permitting. I have some friends who have used remote controlled helicopters in urban places for video production, and the liability is a real hassle. * If you fly too low this is a hazard to

   I don't believe the author understands innovation, craigslist, or online marketplaces. 1. Innovation is not features. It is utility. The real innovation of craigslist has been to resist so much call for change, especially in tech. 2. Craigs

    Eduardo Saverin (of Facebook fame) is also on that list. Also in Singapore, I think. I wonder -- what their reasons are other than the US tax burden?

    Postgresql has both Levenshtein and metaphone functions as part of the fuzzymatch extension. It's nice to have this when trying to match addresses.

    The problem with that famous line is that it is absolutely devoid of any meaning. The actual line is "The Medium is the Massage" -- NOTE: MASSAGE -- and it was largely criticized as being incoherent [1]. A lot of post-modern non-sense that

    Good primer on things. I'm also working on a location project, and I find the discussions at the GIS stackexchange very informative. http://gis.stackexchange.com

    I posted here because I find the HN crowd to be ahead of the curve on news like this (security, tech, etc). For example, previous posts have called this out as a non-event, which I found informative. I learned that exchanges are not as faul

    You need to head over to webhostingtalk.com. That is where the cool hosting kids hang out. :-) I'm a member there and always take my hosting and infrastructure questions there.

    Oh come on. It is arrogant, unhelpful comments like this that make the tech community look like a bunch of pricks. Criticism is supposed to be helpful and offer direction.

    With all due respect, email is not the problem. You are. Your problems are not unique. Email is a great tool for delegation (to humans), and you should learn to do that. I trust that my co-workers and employees will take care of the tasks I

    Though the title is a little sensationalist I think the author makes some good points. He touches on some things that have been bothering me for a while: Lack of civility Human fallibility Blind faith that tech can only improve thin

    Upvoted, and I agree. Breaking tab functionality is a no-go on forms used for repetitive data entry. It is probably OK for a contact form and other WYSIWYG edit boxes, but please use it judiciously.

    And here come the down votes. Neither sarcasm nor dissenting opinions nor thinly veiled attempts at humor (trolling) are welcome on HN.

    Well, it is about time that someone took a stand against those who would turn the internet into a cesspool of humanity. With the help of Mr. Lamar Smith from Texas and his SOPA legislation we can finally clean up the internet.

    The lady in the ad looks a lot like Cleo King. She plays Marcie the murderess in Magnolia. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0454598/ Anyway, it looks like startups are getting better about the advertising game.

    I wrote something similar to this, but I use pushState so that it can be bookmarked. It creates some ugly urls, but it works. Have you considered using pushState to achieve the same purpose?

    I'll reply to this by answering my own question: Because there is no such thing as bad PR. People on the edges of the spectrum are vocal, and that translates to eyeballs either for the cool factor of the WTF factor. Either way you win. :-)
