I think this is a great forward-thinking feature of iOS. Some apps I have are no longer available via the app store. The only way I can retain access to them is via local copies.

IANAL, but I do know 2/3rds of the company existed entirely to push the papers that kept the place running above the boards, along with yearly inspections by the FDA, etc. Whether this is a problem of regulation or enforcement can&#x27

I used to work for a generics manufacturer, and indeed this was their MO. Seek out old drugs that sill have a very viable market but are under the radar of the big guys, undersell until they're the only supplier left, then jack up the

The idea that centralized violence is necessary for a "functioning" society is a common misconception. It's rarely discussed in political circles but we've got to remember that the state as we understand it is a technolo

Working Copy[1] is the first app I've seen to come along and really change the situation. A pretty glaring limitation of previous solutions was reliance on SSH for git control. Working Copy provides a great subset of git tools graphica

I second all of the above. For me, though, the major regression is the priorities of the search field. Prior to the redesign Maps seemed to know the exact location I needed regardless of the amount of detail I included in the query (i.e. to

$ clear is six characters, and you have to be on a new prompt first. ⌘R is a reset command, meaning it's for restoring a garbled terminal. ⌘K will keep your input on the line but clear other output, same as ⌃L but more pinky-friendly.

This is a great intro. Here's my favorite OS X Terminal trick: ⌘. (command period) is a hotkey not defined in the menu for sending BREAK. This is automatically equivalent to ctrl+c in shells, ctrl+g in emacs and ESC in Vim. Similarly,

I have no idea to which country you are referring. I can't find any broad consensus, and all I can find are postings for internships in student health services. I also think you're really underestimating the severity of the proble

As a resident of Philly I'd say you've got to remember the permanent class war happening here. Children die in elementary schools because there isn't enough funding for a school nurse. To us on HN, a hitchhiking robot is a cu

This is the broad academic use of the word. Specifically Sarkeesian builds upon feminist film theory.

sigh another angry gamer with no patience for theory. If you believe Sarkeesian (or anyone else for that matter) does indeed have an invalid argument, you've got to provide evidence to that effect, not just ad hominem blather. Mildly

I'm a non-remote worker who agrees with the article - I definitely benefit the more things are done via chat/web conferencing. Even if I'm at the office part of the day this gives me the freedom to sit in a park or coffee sho

This is like asking why people still use cash when there are so many other easier to use & manage payment options. The simple answer is there are far too many edge cases where it's still required - any single one doesn't sound

This is interesting and fun! Although from the title and it's placement on HN, I immediately hypothesized it to be someone's blog post about the endless distractions ever-present for the digital worker.

While the difference between skimming and thorough reading is obvious, I think the finding at the bottom has some merit. Thinking back on books I've read on print vs ones I've only read on screens, I can certainly remember the chr

The biggest innovation miss Apple's had recently (and it's pretty enormous) is the fact that the watch is marketed with an analog face. Sure it does 10,000 things. But the image of the watch face, that ubiquitous emblem of trudgin
