What kind of "life" would be possible on the Sun? I don't think basic life form - even the rawest form you can think of - can survive at those temperatures. It's hostile even to complex chemistry. "harsh" envir

With all the news reporters in that specific transit zone, and after so many days, I find it hard to believe that nobody wasn't even able to see him. My best guess is that he acquired a fake passport/ID and is free somewhere in

Does anyone know if this Twitter account is actually his? https://twitter.com/EJosephSnowden If that's the case, then that is pretty good proof that he's doing ok, and can also connect to the internet :-) However,

This is kind of ridiculous sorry. The Web is so interesting today because it moved forward from a read-only kind of system, which you seem to so happily advertise with this NeoCities website. And I totally disagree about Facebook. It has gi

I absolutely love how GitHub is always at the cutting edge. Always improving. Always making it better. Steve Jobs' "stay hungry. stay foolish" applies perfectly to GitHub's attitude. Keep up the great work!

The part that most worries me is that this doesn't seem like such a different interface from things I've already seen. What happened to the "Think Different" Apple?

Right and that's what I meant, by saying "according to GitHub".

Well according to GitHub it's either JavaScript or Ruby (PHP is only 6th) https://github.com/languages

The power of Linked Data vs. Web APIs(sites.google.com)

Actually the point I was trying to make is that Linked Data is different from Web APIs. With Linked Data you can literally traverse and query the entire data space. This is not possible with current Web APIs as they are tailored to specific

It's horrible: big fonts, 100% wide and awful spacing of elements. Gives me a headache just reading it. I like the topic though. Hope a designer can jump in and improve the overall experience.

My quota is finally reset. Sorry about that! Didn't expect to get HNed :-)

Yeah sorry about that. You can just login with your credentials, I disabled confirmation for now. I was getting HNed I guess.

Thanks and I gotta say, all that competition wears me out a bit. But I think you're right, I need to look for a better niche. Maybe minimalism and cheapness can be my target audience? :-) By the way, my email server was going crazy so I dis

Essentially it’s a site that allows small restaurant owners to build their own site, without any technical skills. Think of it as about.me for restaurants. The issue is that if you own a restaurant and you want to communicate and interact w

Nice. From a technical point of view, I wonder, is this written using the same HTML/CSS/JavaScript code used in the browser, say using something like PhoneGap? Or did they they rewrite the entire app all-over again for iOS, Android and Wind

It's not the JavaScript part that is interesting, but the fact that it's running in a browser. In fact, "Diablo (alpha) in Browser" would've been a more appropriate title. And it's interesting because, well, it's programmed for a browser, w

I don't get this. Isn't the whole point of Bitcoin not to have any "central" entity? BitPay sounds like precisely this?

Evidence of that? I actually think that knowledge accumulation led to an evolutionary change at the gene level.

This is all very nice from a design point of view. But from a User Experience point of view, it's horrible. Each screen is totally different, there's absolutely no consistency between views. I would like for things to go back to minimalist

I'm not sure I completely agree with this view. It's not confronting the other argument: what if we were still all hunter-gatherers, and agriculture never became mainstream? I'm not sure we would reach the same level of a sophisticated soci

Absolutely. Also I usually have to get up and search in my pocket for my credit card, and then type it in. Time wise that counts for at least 3-4 steps on basecamp's "timescale". Only companies with really good reputation can pull off such

Wonderful! I love these beautiful minimalist UX experiments. Especially when using open technology such as HTML5. Any info on how you built all the really nifty animations? Used any tool to get it just right?
