Asana seems cool. Is there a notes/message feature like Basecamp? I like to collaborate on documents and this is a necessary feature.

I think we're seeing the unfolding of 37signals. I know that's the cliche thing to say here on HN, so note I say this bearing that overarching fact in mind. I think Basecamp Next was the beginning. I can't put it into words, but users stopp

Unlike many diagnosed with A.D.D., I wasn't indoctrinated with medication or treatment at an early age, so I've lived for 25 years without treatment and can speak to the differences. They are great. You can't see depression, mental illn

The goal of the piece was to dispell doubt in the medication because of its inability to resolve long-term treatment - then it backs this assertion up with...wait for it...nothing! It's offensive because the diagnosis has finally reached a

As someone with A.D.D., I kinda find this piece offensive. A lot of people not afflicted with A.D.D. like to give their armchair opinion on the effects, classification and understanding without having spent one day with A.D.D. I was diagnos

(5) Apple provides the relatively simple service of looking up incorporation documents. I can't complain about the speed in getting a DUNS number, since it was quiet fast. Being in Canada, I was surprised how fast they were able to validate

I wondered the same thing. I can't fathom how you could be a programmer AND buy into conspiracy nonsense. It breaks my brain that you could program but not have a focus on reality.

It's Alex Jones. He'll say no because then we'll be able to confirm he's a loon. Long before Piers Morgan and the Illuminati, Alex Jones was reporting on religion being a form of mind control, Christians as the NWO and ritual child sacrific

Which sites do you get this information from? So far, you've done nothing to illustrate your point with anything other than 1 untrusted source. That's why it remains a conspiracy theory and not accepted fact. Conspiracy nuts like to frame t

You're a right-wing nut and/or a racist. Period. You're getting called out because you're following the same lineage that all conspiracy nuts do. Conspiracy is just another religion. You talk of how everyone doesn't "get it", get informatio

> The whole selling point is that it is curated by him. I disagree. I doubt Subtle is getting funded because of Dustin Curtis' audience. For funding, the conversation of "market" had to come up and if the answer to "market" was "Dustin

I think most people separate Svbtle from Dustin, although I don't think Dustin necessary is advocating for this separation himself. You can see this in the comments. When people are being critical, it generally leans towards Dustin and not

We seem intent on enabling an old-style media format that is dying in the background, rightly so. I don't read content online because I don't like flipping pages, I read it online because I don't like sorting through crap. Flipboard is pret

Henry Ford - "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." I know this is a played out quote, but this is essentially the same circumstance. You could go further and even say that there wasn't any demand for

I'm gonna call BS on this. Hiatal hernia's are frequently associated with over consumption of coffee, which has other effects on the heart, esophageal and stomach lining. Anecdotally, an alarming amount of heavy coffee drinkers also seem to

True, but my problem is that democracy is supposed to be about everyone, and when you start eliminating people based on their propensity to generate millions of dollars you eliminate a lot of potentially great leaders.

by tomkin 14y ago
For me, being a citizen and being able to become president under fair rules is important. The whole idea of democracy is that you get to elect a leader and that leader could even be you. You might be a good leader - the best even, but it wo

Kyle and the team who worked on the campaign are awesome. And if I could have voted for Obama, I would have. My criticism isn't to do with any specific person. The campaign spending just seems out of line with other countries.

I see a lot of concern for integration with API, hosting, etc. but what I don't see is disgust. Disgust because to become president of the US, you must participate in this monumental financial circus of who spends what. Is this what peopl

My immediate impression was this was going to be a way to switch Dropbox accounts. That would have been super cool. Not that having a Dropbox API for selecting files is bad.

You'll probably be downvoted for that comment. I reached the same conclusion, but for whatever reason, this will be different for X reason. Something along the lines of "but we don't pay for iOS". Which is a great argument if you don't ca

It's true to say that my version of the story is probably not accurate in any sense. My main point is that Apple has pulled the rug away from it's users. YouTube is a great point, too. I upgraded iOS and all of a sudden it was gone. No "oh,

One day Apple apologists will have to draw a line in the sand – does Apple care more about users, or more about ego-laden competitive angst? When Apple limits people – they do it for business, when they allow freedom they are doing it for t

Unfortunately, I know from working on my own smarthome project that the "turn lights on or off based on location" is patented and secured already.
