In a word, for this case, yes. Save the heroical thought exercise for something a little more meaningful than how/when a tech site honours those who pass.

To be clear, I'm not talking about convincing everyone to pitch in $4/mth - no one would do that. I'm talking about collecting a serious fee from established businesses who rely on Twitter for the lifeblood of their own monet

Only those who care about the immediacy. News agencies come to mind. If the difference between being seen first and being seen eventually depends on whether you give Twitter $X,XXX/mth, I think it'd be pretty easy to justify the

I have an idea, I welcome you to punch holes in it. Why not charge the sizeable players for that immediacy? Say you have 500,000+ followers, and you want your tweets to be sent out the second Twitter receives them, you need some sort of pre

Sorry! Reading my comment back, it's no wonder it was tough to follow. Instead of writing: "I couldn't resist the fun of reimplementing it over sockets." I should have wrote: "I couldn't resist building anoth

I have two projects on the go right now. Both have gone the web sockets first approach. I love it. For me, the project I keep rebuilding to learn new languages/frameworks is Risk (though it's been quite awhile now). After spen

There are far more sources of information than what John Doe explicitly puts out there. Those are probably the least of his worries. What about the embarrassing things other people post about John Doe? What if this harms his ability to p

I think the strongly connoted language is warranted. If it becomes effectively legal to surveil and store everything about anyone because you own servers, what kind of world does that lead to? These are important questions that should be in

Workflowy is incredible. It was the foundation for a system that saw me through a very productive time in my life. I couldn't keep up with the complexity I layered in to it, so I'm building a webapp to do the mind mapping and tr

This article just made my Sunday. It was a great 25m read on cognitive development stages. It definitely wrapped up a lot of loose thoughts I'd had on the subject. Would be very interesting to hear where HN'ers place themselves.

Dog owning programmer here. Our dog is a rescue and very anxious when left alone. We go to unreasonable lengths to limit his anxiety. As an example, we just moved from Vancouver BC to Oslo. There are no direct flights between these two ci

Reading the headline, I expected parody. It looks.... real? I'm sure many will enjoy the contribution, but I'll be letting this one slip by on the first pass.

Depends on exactly what you're setting up. If you're doing the collection, and making that data available - I would be very interested. If it's the framework to do collection myself - not so much. Looking forward to more deta

The apartment complex wants to retroactively force tenants to like the complex on Facebook. This is all the way shady. It's times like this that I wish there was 'dislike' option to counteract bad actors like this.

I just tried to sign up with a standard email address without Tor and did not receive a confirmation email otherwise. Best of luck to you.

I feel weird about an app charging (admittedly, a negligible one time fee) solely for access to images where all of the various creators intent was for them to be free. Am I overlooking the value of curation?

A helpful reminder of the negative patterns we programmers are prone to. If I were more diligent in keeping a list of articles to review regularly, I would put this one on it.

For those who check the comments before going to an article: It's a song parodying the number of frameworks set to Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire. It made me happier than it should have.

To me, your comment read as though he was a San Francisco author. It took another comment to figure out you meant Science Fiction. I read entirely too much HN.

I was thinking it might make sense for people who have to do a lot of brainstorming. If your job is to come up with new ideas and you're having troubles getting started, you could fire this up. It's like playing a game which mig

I love the idea, but I'm not sure if I'm using it right. The premise is your writing session dies if you go 5 seconds without typing as a means to get you in to flow. When your session 'dies', everything you wrote disa

Chrome 46.0.2490.71 (64-bit), OSX Yosemite Had to press and hold arrow keys for a long time to develop any movement. Once the inertia (finally) kicked in, it kicked in hard and shot me across the screen.

Having flown internationally in Europe recently, I can attest that prompting people back to the seated waiting area (over the intercom) ahead of boarding had zero impact on the forty-sixty people super keen to get on board. I suspect the

I just got the Nexus 7 LTE (2013), and I can already feel the dust collecting on my retina iPad, and to a lesser degree, my iPhone 4. For me, the extra responsiveness makes all the difference. It feels like any extra battery life I'm
