What are you basing the "double to triple" speeds comment on? I haven't found anything relevant to that point. Notably, in the United States, speeds do have the chance to climb that much (if not more) due to shifting monopoli

Patents != products. Just look at the countless patents Apple has filed over the years. Many never see the light of day. Though I suspect Amazon isn't filing this patent as a means to control the concept (isn't it even that revolu

Thanks for the comment, but "downcasting" is your interpretation. Perhaps your response is one of the wider HN group too, in which case let me clarify: I love being someone who does work (in web development and marketing, no less)

The concern of what advancements in technology mean for web workers has recently blossomed in main circles. Jeff Croft wrote that being a web designer isn't enough to sustain a career.[1] Jeffrey Zeldman countered that argument with th

If you commonly refer to your users/visitors as "dumb" then your problem isn't with links. Alas, it's worth considering personal bias. Simply because you understand the fundamentals of the web and how to use modern

I agree. To quote Alan Watts from his book "The Book": "Money alone cannot buy pleasure, though it can help. For enjoyment is an art and a skill for which we have little talent or energy."

Interesting, but not a very informative article. I'd be curious to hear more about the technologies behind the framework. Is Airlock entirely server driven, or are there aspects of it (say, data storage or selecting which variation of

Yes, absolutely, but it takes hard work and a good idea. Or rare luck.

Words matter. To quote Frank Chimero: "I think words are abstractions, and abstractions become expressions that frame our understanding of our experiences, expectations, culture—everything. Language is an interface, and if an interface

If only they knew then what a behemoth of a company they were building, including Jobs. I'd like to say something about how exciting it would have been to work with Jobs in such close quarters, but I imagine it must have been more stre

I wonder how making millions affects an individual's ability to relax and build cabins in the woods. If Zach were doing the things he is now solely to make a living, how would that impact his happiness while conducting those activities

This is excellent. Extremely simple and fairly intuitive, I wish I had heard about it days sooner. It's somewhat surprising to continuously encounter such (seemingly) simple projects/proof-of-concepts like this that fulfill a need

I couldn't agree more. My experiences with oDesk have been overall phenomenal, while Elance has consistently been a pain. I wonder what's fully fueling the merger, as oDesk seems to be doing pretty well as of late on its own.

This needs to be highlighted more here. Support for iOS 7 can complicate things, but for -- I'd estimate -- 75%+ of developers it's simply tweaking a few things and then releasing an app that continues to support v5.0 and up at th

Doubtful any research has been done on the matter, or that you could accurately do a survey or dig through data (Resumes? Job postings?) to get an answer. However, statistically speaking, it's likely not an either/or scenario. I&#

To a degree, I completely agree with you. But then, on the other hand, we see that making something unique does often propel the "build it and they will come" mentality. Because it works. What marketing have you seen from Snapchat

That's absolutely true. Which means the options for getting a product into their hands would be either to work with them, wait for them to change, or create something they don't know how to categorize and hope it captures the in

Not always. Look at the app marketplace, for example. Businesses are in dire need of better quality apps for managing employees, HR, payroll, networking, etc. And to get your app into their hands is as simple as making a unique app.
