Conflicted. On one hand, we have a camp of people who would say "static content" almost always equals garbage content . Documentation aside, who would ever want a static website? I don't see much advantage of having to setup

This is great. Thank you for posting this. I am looking to build an interactive display with intermittent rotation of objects, and couldn't think of a way to accomplish this efficiently without resorting to a software solution. This de

A few years back I shared office space with an "email marketer", and even then he would tell me that each image URL contained a hash as part of the file name. This hash is linked to the email address. How would they be able to pre

Sure, but in the spirit of longevity, you're talking about a stop-gap solution at the most. There's also this: they aren't solving a real problem. My wallet going from 1 inch to 1/2 inch isn't a selling point.

> "...a problem most of us have." Is this a real problem? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you can't determine a problem by telling me this is a problem we all have . I'm not buying the angle, sorry. N

I'm incredibly ignorant when it comes to the stock market. But why would any company elect to go public? Let's see: you lose your creative edge 90% of the time, you destroy the relationships with your users 50% of the time, your t

Coca-Cola isn't an idea, it's sugar water, something people have enjoyed for decades. SnapChat is a service that requires very little infrastructure when compared to Coca-Cola. Not to mention thousands of employed people vs a hand

I'm not sure I will play the absolute devil's advocate card here, but I do think that there is a downside to this idea. I live in a mid-sized, industry-legacy Canadian city, where tech has become part of the new economy. And the

This is a rather hard line against what I would consider pretty good advice. Seemingly, unlike much of the HN crowd, I wasn't born with the immediate abilities I require for my work, as OP seems to allege having. Otherwise, how is it t

As someone mildly effected by colourblindness, I am happy to see this consideration. I think it's important to note that making UI colourblind-sensitive, you don't have to do a whole lot of work. Contrast being the most important.

I couldn't say for certain, but I do see that as a threat as well. I will say, among the people I know who have diabetes, only 1 is known for having a taste for sweetened beverages. I think what you're saying plays a role, but how do we exp

Understanding that correlation != causation, the trend lines for obesity, diabetes and the use of HFCS is pretty alarming anyhow and should be investigated further. Why do I have a particular distaste for HFCS? I remember a time when Amer

I know the Huffington Post is trying hard to make it in Canada, but this is painted with a pretty harsh brush. By reading this article, I would have no choice but to conclude that Canada is in a dire state. Good thing I'm Canadian. > Sp

Personally, I am a little surprised that Glass is even a real product, but FWIW, ads or other monetization would sink the Glass ship pretty fast. Think about it. Next, we have to wonder where the "Google has to make money from advertising!!

I posted this because I regularly experience ASMR, since I was a child. For years I would look for a reasonable explanation that I could give to others. Such a strange phenomenon and possibly the hardest to explain to others.
