Hearing aids are already very smart. I got a cochlear implant a year ago, and it's fantastic. I've had moderate to severe hearing loss since birth. I wore hearing aids for the past 25 years with loads of different models, even bra

For the group I ran around with it was how easy and uncluttered Google was back then that made us like and switch to it. I wish it were still the case.

Shows that he believed in what he was doing, and kept at it no matter what. Sounds like he got dismissed by a LOT of people seemingly (from reading posts like yours, and other articles over the years). Pretty good effort I'd say! All I

I believe that visualization plays a huge part in learning. In reality, you'll never see "current tables" looking like that. I checked Google Images ("sqlite result") and it seems that you could benefit heaps by des

Thank you for your explanation. I thought people could give feedback based on what was on the site, ask the author/creator questions/feedback in the thread. I did say it was my opinion that I thought it was a good example, but we&

The difference is... they offer nothing except "we made something, sign up?!" whereas this is actually a lot different. If you read the thread, the founder is in here commenting and you can tell that there's already a working

What? > Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread. Which is what it is. It's not just an email sign-up. I think this is a

Chris, if I can be of some help... Hyper-activeness in children can be a sign of ADHD, but in adults it's not entirely true. If you don't mind me posting this Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult

I know this is a bit snarky, but honestly: ask. It is the startup world, there's risks everywhere. Find someone, and if you kick off well with them, then go ahead and try. If you spend too much time bothering about details like the per

Anyone watched 'Enemy of the State'? Yeah... people have known the NSA and other intelligence outfits to be doing everything they can to get information since forever. Think of ECHELON[1]. That's been recording a LOT of data

Seems like a dog eat dog world in 'creativity'. If I'm sad, I'm too busy wallowing in self pity than to do anything meaningful.

But we don't know that. It could be exactly the same. That's why I suggested you link to an article about all the new updates and your vision next. That's what everyone usually does and it gets a better reception over on HN.

Then why not write a blog post and explain these updates and submit it to HN normally, rather than through "Show HN"? I didn't realise Show HN was used for this sort of thing. (edit) From the guidelines: > New features and

I bet they were probably purchased legitimately to mess with the authorities. He sounds like he was testing them, to see what would happen. Reminds me so much of penetration testing!

Fantastic reading. Felt like a screenplay for a movie though. A lesson here is if you smell women's hair spray in your vault, there's a chance someone is going to break in. Seriously though: > It was a simple but effective hack

I find these articles about these massive boats just mind blowing. Really interesting stuff. My only issue is there is never enough pictures!

I usually have my phone in my pocket, and my Moto360 watch on my wrist. Two devices. I used to be really reluctant to let my phone out of sight but since getting the smart watch, I no longer mind because it does an absolute fantastic job at

Yup. Gives out nasty 'blue light' as spoken about in the article. Try Flux[1], it'll change your life. If you doubt me, install it and have it run at night and then after an hour of browsing HN, disable it... [1] https:&#x2F
