This site was not what I thought it was. I want to find a match-- but nothing too serious... I'm really just looking for a good time. I want to be someone's interim technical co-founder with benefits for a while. Just temporarily. And not f

This list is somewhat dependent on the size and complexity of the project. For a small or simple project, many of these points might not matter. For example, if Apache can handle your traffic just fine, why spend time replacing it with guni

This might explain the political response to terrorism, but I'm not sure it applies to the individual. Fear of setting a bad precedent which could lead to the undermining of civil order seems to be a more complex feeling than that of being

"And immersion is effectively the number one thing we can use to help you buy into the world." I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. However, the devil is in the details. There are a plethora of ways to ruin immersion in video games,

How would they do this for client-side applications? I made a desktop application that essentially streams & rips (to mp3) Youtube videos but doesn't show any of the video data at all-- never had any issue with blocking or limits. To do

Just thinking out loud... How about a simple hardware device covertly attached to the plane's flaps and rudders... Then using a smart phone to control that hardware device, thus mechanically overriding the onboard aircraft control system an

I thought one of the biggest benefits of remote work was NOT having to look at the same people all day, every day. If i'm lonely I'd go hang out with my actual friends. And since I'm remote, those friends can be anywhere I can travel to.

Would you use an api service that aggregated addresses and could tell you if a given address was known to be associated with fraud? And that let you add addresses to the 'blacklist'.

Other than general traffic data compression, I've always been somewhat interested in html compression in particular. I know lots of webservers zip their response data, but I was always curious about the things in html that show up very ofte

Is this a proprietary algorithm? Can desktop video editing software or plugins do it this well? I would love to have this as a quick drop in for Premier or Aftereffects. Also, are there any plans for motion estimation for achieving super-sl

Shaky cams in video games can easily become a hindrance of a good experience. For example Kane and Lynch 2 was criticized for having a shaky cam that made gameplay more difficult. Its definately a balancing act to get the right amount of sh

This makes me wonder if there is a market for patent troll insurance. Pay a small monthly fee and get legal protection or money to hire your own counsel in the event of a lawsuit. It seems to be a pain point that small startups worry about,

Exactly. Improved battery storage capacity and efficiency might be a solution though. Also, I've never liked the idea of sending solar power generated in the Sahara to Europe. I never hear this concept in terms of helping deliver power to A

I wouldn't blame Facebook for having bad judgement. It's wise to be discreet in your opinion on a public forum... especially if you care what the people who read it may think about you afterwards.

When I saw The Hobbit 3d 48fps, I wasnt looking for any specific differences from the status quo. And i didnt notice any. If someone has to really look for the differences to notice them, then they are relatively unnecessary. I like that th

This is really cool technology. I often wish I could be a part of researching and building new cutting-edge technology, but it's usually cost-prohibitive as a solo hobby (unless you're wealthy, Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne, etc). And even as a c

Basically, the article says Atlanta is good because the cost of living is cheaper, there is a lot of smart talent due to the educational institutions, and the city is seeing an increase in both communication and transportation infrastructur

You can spend a lot of time creating content that you think HN is likely to like, and submit it at the optimal time, and still not get much karma unless that entry gets picked up within an hour. Otherwise it's just pushed down and out, and

Selling products to people who have subscribed to an email list may be a great way to get customers. But part of the secret sauce is getting people to be on your list in the first place. I was hoping the article would touch on that a bit mo

Indeed, but even companies who don't offer a phone-based customer support service can be susceptible to basic social engineering. When Facebook was still granting new users access by checking that their email matched a school's domain, I wa

I agree. Making money through affiliate and lead generation has been around for a long time and seems to transition nicely as the web evolves. I'm sure there are plenty of apps that do just this and there will likely be more on the way as g

I was mostly concerned about the controller and how hard it is to get right. Why not just build it with compatibility with other console controllers, including the older 8 and 16 bit systems? This way they dont have to worry about the trick

Its probably possible to send the recordings TO a unit inside a locked container in your car (via wifi). I know this might limit the use-cases for an app, as well as require more effort to do, but that would be pretty slick. Another way to

I'm glad he mentioned the importance of doing and showing rather than just studying the material. But be careful-- like many careers, computer security favors specialization, and its easy to get more or less pigeonholed into a few areas. Th

I imagine a future-proof tablet would be modular and easy for consumers to modify, like PCs. Modularity for PCs is possible in-part because of standard form factors. But this is something that hasnt been fully embraced by mobile device manu

I think restricting access in this way will slow the growth of browser extensions/addons as platforms for launching full-fledged web services and apps. I see more and more web apps relying on extensions for a core part of their functionalit

Are privacy policies any more binding than terms of service? I rarely look at either as a consumer, and for most of my projects, i'm reluctant to even include them. My last ToS was "dont do anything you know you shouldnt do". I imagine popu
