A prisoner does not ask his warden for release. It would take enough hearts and minds to secede, and nothing else. How it actually happens and whether or not different commenters find it "legal" will not matter. If I deny your jur

I think California is more likely to split into multiple states before any of them consider secession. Shaking up the state borders might give a few states pause, though.

"SSD" doesn't mean a whole lot. Sata 2 vs PCI Express is an order of magnitude of difference.

I literally just read "You should design for android because they delayed monetization and sold for $19B." If you're WhatsApp, I doubt it matters how onerous the regulation and taxation is where you operate your business.

Most universities staff up to handle as many students as they wish. They have a glut of students. In this environment, you would expect more universities to flood the market to capitalize on the high profit, but that isn't happening. T

I've been burned by cross-platform tools. I tried Sencha Touch, and it was a horrible 2-year mistake. Something that compiles might do better, but at the end of the day you really want to be calling into the cocoa touch framework direc

I find Xcode pretty awful and instead use AppCode with Xcode open at the same time. Xcode 5 finally makes it easy to run single unit tests. Before this, you had to create a schema to run a single test, which was several clicks and possibly

I'm not going to get acquired by Facebook for releasing my powerlifting app on android. So I truly do need to consider the "Android users are poor" statement. They are. I did some math, though, and the time it will take me to

My CS degree cost me about an hour a day in homework on bad days. I skipped many classes, only took relevant coursework, and graduated in 3 years.

1.) No. 2.) False. There are waaaaaaay too many professors, to the point where most aren't tenured and make barely livable wages. There is a limited supply of universities, but it seems like most collude on prices, or at least refuse t

This article might more aptly be titled the brutal ageism of silicon valley. Or perhaps the brutal ageism of startups. There are red flags that you can easily spot in a job interview or job posting that indicate that the employer wants 80-h

Switch tech companies a couple times. Note what happens to your salary. Hint: It doesn't go down.

People have been arrested and worse for taking video of police officers. This is not a threat I need in my daily life. The legality of recording someone without their express consent also varies by state. I would love to record my daily pub

There's going to be a tipping point where 3D printers are good enough and new enough that you can turn a profit selling printed goods. Like any technological shift, people will flood the market, bringing down the profit sold by printed

As another point of reference, I bought many "high capacity magazines" in 2010 for range practice. In 2012 I sold all of them for 4x what I bought them for on gunbroker because of the gun ban scare. The economics behind gun parts

Guns are extremely expensive, and I own many. I have many friends who wish they could own guns but cannot afford them, and thus live alone without a proper means of self defense. I don't let anyone fire anything I own without an intr

This could be what it takes to get effective gun printing going. As soon as I can print effective guns, I will.

I drive to work and I'm much more fit than most people on HN. Why? I care. Living downtown would cost over double my mortgage and significantly reduce my quality of life. I have access to trails and silent nights by living 14-20 minute

Neat app. My first thought was to put IAPs in the iOS app that controls the pebble, and use IAPs to configure what the pebble application is able to do.

I agree. This is the reason I'm going to try and get into WWDC this year. I doubt they show hardware, but I bet we'll get first access at APIs and design guidelines.

The text on the website also changed from "ships in order of availability" to "6-8 weeks from purchase date." 8 weeks is a pretty fancy way to say "two months."

Kindles still sell. Maybe there's room in wearable for different form factors. The Kindle Fire is a disaster, but the main product is still wonderful.

The real challenge of course is to build an AI to beat the AI. Here's a random clicker: setInterval(function(){ var cells = document.getElementsByClassName("grid-cell"); var pos = Math.floor((Math.random()*cells.length)); if(

If you have a fundamental disagreement with someone, you get shadow banned. The only time it makes sense to comment is when you think you can avoid downvotes and flags.
