SkyDrive is a threat to Dropbox because they're cheaper? I think Drew Houston said it near the beginning when asked about competitors, "Do you use any of those?" That's the difference.

This is a great start. Jekyll is perfect for blogs, but as the readme says this is for full websites. I just don't understand why I would want client-side rendering- isn't the entire point of Jekyll that you would serve static files?

I was expecting a question about how cops will manage to travel significantly faster than the "wave" by pushing it aside or maybe just using the shoulder. I wonder if that's already been studied.

This article is about my best friend. He told me the backstory a couple nights ago: He gets a random email asking if he's available to talk to the Globe about his pirate license. "Sure, why not?" So he gets on the phone with a reporter who

This argument seems like it follows a fallacy. A chat room is simple. Threads are simple. Therefore combining them must be simple too!

Thanks for the link, that's the best data I've seen so far. Should I rephrase the title to be "average intern wage?"

"There is no room for ego in success." That seems like a good way to sum up the get-it-done hacker attitude. Ego can come later.

Wylie Conlon, 19, looking for an internship doing front-end web development. I like to focus on UX and interface design. User-focused startups like Path interest me. I really like Javascript, but I have experience with the whole stack.

Serious question: Is anything MIT-related worth voting up? Because I don't think the content of this video was particularly worth submitting to HN.

To answer the question posed by the title: no, I didn't think I understood Monty Hall, but thanks to this article I'm pretty sure I do now. This is a good explanation and analysis.

It already fooled a friend of mine with a tweet at him. But if it were a human I would think it has incredibly bad taste in articles.

This article isn't about feeling guilty. It's about feeling responsible.

Big surprise. It's not even the first time they've done this (remember Google profiles?)

I'm so glad that somebody built a better front-end for SuperCollider. It's badly in need of a better guide and tutorial for new users, and this seems like an excellent way to go about it.

This really hits home with me. The university where I go to school is very bureaucratic, and I think it lacks a strong community. After a year of not doing anything about it, I finally found people who feel the same way, and after talking b

In Patrick Collison's presentation at Startup Bootcamp last weekend, he really brought home the social impact that a payment processing company can have in the third world. Even though it's US only for now, this team has huge goals and the

I consider myself to be a programmer and a designer, and while my education has mostly been focused on programming, I have taken a fair share of art and design courses as well. Everything I have learned and done leads me to the same conclus

This title was misleading here. This is an article about drugs, not rugs. The author says that psychedelic drugs are "one of the most important rites of passage a human being can experience," yet also that "there is nothing that one can exp

Do you think that learning about parallelism would help a beginner to learn how to program, or to understand code better? I consider myself an intermediate programmer, with about five years of experience, but have never explored HPC. Not su

Yeah, the URL was http://gush.wufoo.com/forms/automated-office-hours-with-pg/ It probably went over the limit for free forms. Though building a chatbot is slightly different than building a form.

Thank you! I'm glad you asked about this, because I'm really proud of how well we worked together. We had two developers and two designers/strategists, and only one person with previous hackathon experience. The idea came from an offhand co

This is irrelevant. The bug happens specifically while using Facetime, an Apple app, so it might be feasible for it to set the last image as the launch image. Also, Apple is notorious for using undocumented APIs in their own apps.
