While they might look similar, jackfruit is much less offensive to most people. Jackfruit has a sweet and floral aroma that will leave your hands smelling quite nice for a while. Ripe jackfruit tastes a bit like a mix between cantaloupe, pi

Really loving this. I hit random and saw an Ask YC thread for Duck Duck Go, my search engine of choice. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=315142

Then maybe those honest publishers need to find a revenue source that doesn't potentially support the sale of their viewers' private information (ad-based or not). People made money and sold products before internet ad-networks ex

Then they should make them relevant to the context of the page, rather than me individually. How am I supposed to trust the opinion of an ad network that is selling my information for their profit? They aren't just using that informati

I find the current state of ad services to be morally wrong; therefore, I do not feel bad about using an adblocker. I wouldn't be opposed to tasteful, cookie-less ads that don't attempt to track people around the internet and mine

This is so true and the reason why many people who visit LA have such a distorted, acute view of the city. Most of the touristy sites are lame, but there is so much culture and so many hidden gems all throughout the city. LA is what you mak

I know that they aren't the same, but I guess I figured that they were similar as far as environment goes. Thanks for the clarification and extra info.

I think that redwoods need a very specific environment. As I understand, they tend to need forest fires to grow well. This is one reason why you see controlled burns year round in places like Sequoia National Forest. Maybe that is just when

Some of those share/tweet/like buttons can track you without no interaction, just by loading on the page. Removing them might be intentional for this reason.

It is a bit odd to see a new phreaking project pop up. I barely ever see pay phones anymore, but this is neat. Back in high school I always kept a little music player with redbox tones on me. I often used it to get a ride home from my after

The video on the blog post says that it is separate from Gmail and that you are welcome to use both. I assume they plan on keeping it that way.

You should be able to hold option and click the fullscreen traffic light to maximize, but I agree that it should be the other way around. It is rather ridiculous to take a user out of their interface if they forget to hold the option key. T

If I remember correctly, I believe there was a recent article stating that there was a new raise in fines for them pulling these shenanigans. I suppose most are still too rich to care, but if you had enough people calling them out consisten

Down here in Los Angeles we have many rich homeowners who use fences, fake/unlawful signs to keep the public out of local beaches. Many of these beaches are in Malibu he seem to think they are above the law. There are now mobile apps t

I do use a variety of adblockers, but I use them more for privacy reasons than ad blocking. I would be ok with a few ads on a site, but I cannot support companies who want to track people all over the internet.

I remember reading in Masters of Doom that they had actually asked Nintendo if they could license games to get them on personal computers, Obviously, Nintendo declined. They were able to get the first level of Super Mario Bros running on

This brings back so many memories of sitting on the steps playing those old hand-held LCD Tiger games. I was absolutely addicted to the batman one: http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tiger/Batman.htm

I am enjoying this on OSX. I tried Tree Style Tabs in the past, but was not a fan of how it looked. This looks much better and is working nicely so far. In the future it would be nice to see collapse-able tab groups. Pinned tabs should hav

IFTTT deals directly with hooks that web/hardware/data services provide. Think of it less of a tasker for your phone (linking events on your phone) and more of a simple tasker that links web apps/services(often without even p

How easy is it to side-load on Android?: Very Easy out of the box. Just open the apk and the installer will install it. Browse the file system? Very easy. There are many free and paid file managers. You can also use a terminal emulator. Obt

Agreed. I am sure that they could tint/screen/soften the light to help make them less intrusive. I would even be happy if they dimmed the lights. It doesn't have to so bright for people to get around the streets.

My neighborhood in Los Angeles recently switched over to LED. I am happy that they are trying to save money/energy, but having a bright white light outside my window has been quite obnoxious. The older lights were dimmer with a more na

Let me be clear, that I didn't create Portify. I am just a user. Also, the last time I checked it wouldn't build with certain versions of node.js. I got it working with node-v0.8.1.

For those who would like to port their Spotify playlists to Google Music, check out Portify: https://github.com/mauimauer/portify It isn't perfect, but it has been very helpful to me.
