"Apple knew in the mid-2000s that smartphones would become more than just smart phones. It took some of Apple's competitors years to come to this realization. " Microsoft knew this years before when it tried out Windows CE et

Techdirt is one of the most deep digging websites I read regularly, with insightful and different takes on privacy and legal issues surrounding the tech industry. It would be sad if a real asshole who THINKS he invented email (he actually

Actually humans can do that. We orient ourselves using landmarks. If you look at theme park maps, ski resort maps, maps of tourist areas downtown produced by local organizations, subway maps.... All of them are wildly inaccurate in terms

Do you think it may be your bias based on your entire lifetime of looking at Mercator projections? The purpose of this project is to make it an accurate representation. The observations you make are precisely why this made was made.

Dude, it sounds like you REALLY need a big HUG! Don't worry - I love you man. Here's a virtual hug for you! Really great post and some insightful points of view that really make me think about what you are carrying along for th

I'd say - wait a week or two. See how you feel then. You can post an interview "review" on glassdoor.com - there are thousands of reviews, including stories similar to yours. The companies can respond but don't know wh

I've done this before. It is hard. It is easier if you start off with a questioning attitude. For example - in a recent interview with a CTO, I asked why their glassdoor reviews are so bad. Then mentioned that as part of MY process

Low effort too: I just look at the ice in the bucket rose if it's frozen in a blob - or a pool of frozen water at the bottom. :)

Oops. "Nerf" - not "nerd". Although I think we'd both agree - both terms apply.

Similar to the nerd question - could you describe your approach to the freezer monitor? I have a cabin I don't live nearby to, and I basically can't keep anything in the freezer. It seems to go out often enough to unfreeze then

TL;DR I like Airbnb but there's lots of poor experiences that affect 2 people. Design is hard. I have experienced frustration related to the design of Airbnb. I complain. This seems really interesting. If it can help improve the A

I'm not the writer, but I think there may be some people on HN who'd like to voice their opinion on this.

Any suggestions? I've gotten into arduino recently and am looking to simulate some projects if possible (2 year old leaves less time for bread boarding)

Cabin in Tahoe, about 3 hours from my full time home, so I have interest in automating. It is off utilities network - septic well... Even needed a cell booster to get a cell signal indoors. Some devices I've tried: Sensi thermostat

Your first paragraph tells the reader you just deceived them by using link bait in your title. The last sentence tells me to trust you, to click to read another post which is supposedly about what your original link bait title was about.

I like the title. I couldn't look at your page for much longer than 30 seconds though. Red on black and the font make it difficult on the eyes.

As someone who recently got stuck in poor option execution situation, this is great. It is certainly better for companies to compete with each other on transparency and honesty - rather than foosball and free meals. A big problem is all the
