Two very different entities. Techmeme is about the news and that's it. Hacker News is about the community and how we as developers and designers think about the news. Hacker News is more about the community. Like today a random post about W

Ideas especially in the field of software design should never be patented IMHO. Algorithms, hardware definitely but not the idea. For example, what is the point behind Apple patenting multi touch gesture technology? I mean why? (FWIW I am

I seriously think that Android is the best thing to happen to iOS. Despite the design flaws, fragmentation, issues and every other bug, Android is the nearest thing to a competitor that iOS has. Yes, I am aware there is something called Win

That is exactly what I am curious about. Also later I figured that the Hacker news thread for this already exists: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2228137 Sorry for duplicating this.

Besides the obvious brilliance in every single word in that article, Joel;s strongest advice is the part about hiring summer interns and also begging for people to intern with them. Of course the underlying assumption is that you are not gi

Sorry if that sounds being paranoid. I normally use Paypal to handle client payments for mu UI design stuff and hence they are not normally in the range of $100 (thankfullly). :)

With Paypal's history, I normally keep clearing them to my bank as they keep reaching a certain limit of say $1000. I mean I know it is stupid and misses the entire point of Paypal, but I would rather do this than my account being frozen.

Not sure. We Pay is ideally better for consumers, right? The donations are being made for what Peter made possible with Trumpet Winsock. I mean we are actually donating for his services and software, right? Sorry to go wayward, but just did

Seriously by hand? How many mechanical turks? Why do you say so? The textures and all seem to suggest otherwise. I am very much interested in the actual technology. Perhaps the textures were superimposed on the 3d models and not a direct in

Not trying to be the show stopper here, but this is illegal right? I mean especially news sites like Reuters do create a fuss when this is done. Is that (legal drama) only in commercial projects or otherwise too?

Just a guy who knows a lot about startups and entrepreneurship but is sometimes too blunt and on the face. People who know this nature of his, have grown immune to his antics and direct remarks and keep in touch because of his genuine wit.

Correct me if I am wrong, but while the talent acquisition makes sense because the execution from the Beluga team has been brilliant, but why the technology? I mean are not they using Twilio's API for the most part of the service?

I had a look at it today and it does look great. My only suggestion would be to implement the "later" and "Open" in the bar itself so that it is a single click to read it or mark it for later, rather than two clicks. On a superficial layer

Startups in themselves have not become cheaper or more expensive. It just happens Moore's law has been almost equally nullified by the rate of growth of complexity of problems. In a similar fashion just like computing was very costly back i

More than app vs business it is idea vs execution. I say that because you might have an idea and build an app for it. The business prospects of it depend on the execution. On it's own no app or business is nonsense or brilliant, it is the

Nothing wrong with the usage. Of course (the folks at) DotCloud have been .... is how it is supposed to be. The support being talked of and the attitude of doing the chore of sysadmin is for the people at DotCloud and not the company.

Voted for Open Space. Though the optimum setup for me is Open space with lots of exchange of ideas and partial cubicles for teams. However the infrastructure should have spaces/couches/rooms people/groups can use depending on the need/mood

"like robots.txt, but for humans" This is indeed nothing but a marketing/PR gimmick. The only connotation that I could think of was that like Robots.txt has to do something with robots, this has something to do with Humans. Utility: I won't

I think it is a great move to exploit the fact that USA immigration laws are hell bent upon shutting doors in the faces of startups unless you are the next Facebook. What really bothers is the high fee of $150k. I mean companies bootstrap o
