I’m working on a dashboard side project that I’m very excited about, so I’m always glad to see these kinds of articles.

Is this always on? Or event triggered? I have a use case and an iPhone 7 that stopped reading SIM cards. But I wont have a cord long enough to keep it plugged in all the time. And the battery doesn’t hold a charge very long...

As someone who has spent many years working in defense / government contracting, I think you're touching on a really big reason a lot of people work in this world. Many years ago, when my career first started, I was an idealist wh

When you're 1, a year is your life. When you're 2, a year is 1/2 of your life. When you're 3, a year is 1/3 of your life. When you're 30, a year is 1/30th of your life. Your frame of reference for time is

Can I use this to change my purchased kindle books into ebooks for all devices? I’m somewhat tech literate, but pretty ignorant about e-book file types.

Obviously pure speculation: Maybe several people on this list conspired to create an article listing their products and then all came here and upvoted the article? There's a lot of value in getting onto the front page of HN.

Does that mean the iOS app isn’t encrypted? (Guess I could just go check the source code instead of being lazy)

I think more people should see this. I can't agree more with your comment about wishing people would reply with reasoning rather than simply downvoting. When I jump into a heated conversation or comment on an emotional topic, I am full

I've been off of Facebook for 6+ years now, and my life has barely been affected. Occasionally one of the kids will be part of a school group only communicates on FB (WHY THO?) and I'll have to request things be mailed to me. The

When some group, or citizens of a country, or people in a large "class" goes through culturally-significant events, it is perfectly reasonable for conversation to be pulled in that directly for some amount of time. My experience i

I agree that WSJ is a great newspaper / publication for those of us who consume business / market news on a regular basis. I never even click on the WSJ opinion section. It should be noted that WSJ has always held to the fact that

Yeah why downvote this? Ppl buying minimal amounts of marijuana (and other selectively enforced misdemeanors) are doing real time while members of a violent mob walk free. And not only are they all on camera, but there may even be SIGINT co

Cool. I've been grabbing little projects like this for my son who's showing an interest in stuff like this in middle school.

Illegal lobbying happens all the time. First of all, if you're involved in certain activities you must register as a lobbyist. People who walk the line with informal lobbying etc. are breaking the law. Secondly, obviously quid pro quo

Nailed it. I spent many years hacking on my phones and having "fun" (which included bugs and the occasional brick). Now my phone is a tool that I use for work and my side projects. Not to mention that I have a family that depends

I've had a similar response. My son wrecked his bike and fell into a creek once and I swear I heard him scream a block away. I ran out to the creek and pulled him out before anyone else in my house even got on scene. There are whole vi

I'm having mostly the same experience. I've always considered myself a bit odd because I enjoy wearing different "nice" clothes. When I was younger I struggled because, ironically, I HATE shopping. But then came the inte

The content you want to stay disappears. The content you want to disappear stays forever. Is there a law for that? Or is it an offshoot of the Streisand Effect?

You're singing my song. I really believed that information wanted to be free, and once people were exposed to it, they would become more free. But the information pool is being muddied, and that process is enriching technology companie

I wish I could say the same thing. In my younger years, I was pretty hardcore about hacking devices and having complete control of them. But SO MUCH TIME was spent debugging issues and staying ahead of the "bad guys." And I couldn

I used Harvest too, tracking my day’s work and time in the application. I loaded in my details and logo for invoicing at the end of each pay period. Pretty straightforward honestly

Great comment, thanks for sharing your info and ideas. I’m inferring from your second to last paragraph that you’re alluding to social media being somehow part (or all?) of the reason for those problems. I totally agree. I think that we as

I've had a fever every day for over a month. At the beginning they were 101 and up, and my heart rate spiked over 100 for long periods of time (normally I'm in the 60's and 70's). Now the "fevers" are pretty lo

I quit bookface many years ago because of exactly this reason. Well, this and the fact that FB has absolutely blown the trust of keeping all this data on us without it being spilled into the universe every few years. Or worse, used against

Well I have slightly lower vision than most people so it prob doesn't bother me as much as it would most. But yeah that's an issue. I was actually so excited about the other components when I bought it that I kind of overlooked th
