Pretty awesome. The energy companies would turn from energy producers to energy storage and distribution. Really exciting indeed! =)

Sure, that would be nice. But I'm gonna make damn sure that people see me. Being the smallest one on the road is bad enough, now you want me to trust that they'll all do the right thing all the time? In fact, I think cycling at ni

Helmet laws may be dumb, but visibility laws could actually make cycling much safer!

As a cyclist, I am more than happy to see tech that makes me more visible! Why are people up in arms!!? So stupid.

Love the first part of this story. Managers should see to the morale of their team's morale - some variety and entertainment amid all the hustle, not to mention ensuring that everyone's eating and exercising, getting enough sunshi

Absolutely - the low cost per participant makes hackathons a great channel. $2k paid for by a single entity isn't insignificant. Your hackathons probably offer more to participants than others.

Running a Hackathon costs money. We can have a hackathon where: - The costs are split up by the number of participants. - A bunch of teams participate. - Everyone builds whatever they want, and they own it. - There can be multiple show-and-

A well-written book will be easier to remember. Granted, that one may have to read it again to remember the finer details, but rarely is a technical book written with the aim engaging the reader in as many ways as possible. This is why tell

Ah, you're right. I'm not sure what vehicles private lenders in Canada have to secularize debt.

Does not mention that Toronto gets 40% of Canada's immigrants and that all the homes are snapped up in a hurry. Also, the borrowers have to generally be well-qualified because Canadian banks are much more conservative when it comes to

I respectfully disagree. Your definition of discrimination is backwards. Black people have the right to refuse service to anyone who is a member of an organization with the explicit goals of oppressing blacks. Muslims restaurant owners are

As a side-note: services like these come with an anticipation -- I think people that sign up for CSAs will relate to it.

I don't understand all this hate. Unlike US-only offerings, Whimsical is a service that's trying to open up to readers of Hacker News from other countries. As some have already pointed out, it is not easy to go International. On t

Not out of the box, no. Sonar makes use of Twilio in the back-end to provide all the front-end functionality that you see. As for porting your phone number over... a quick search found this: https://www.twilio.com/help/

A company that wants to operate 24/7 would need to hire for the night-shift. This would be based on demand, of course. Night-shift hours are probably lower since most customers go to sleep at night. I don't see why hiring evening

Why keep living? Because it sure beats not-living. You'll have plenty of time to not live after you're not alive anymore. You might as well try out living while you're still alive. Anxiety sucks. Personally, I tend to feel mo

And by huge need, do you mean people ready to drop $$? If so, in what country? As someone who has been following aquaponics in America, it feels like it isn't nearly as popular here than parts of Asia and Australia.
