The key difference is they traded privacy for personal trust and rapport. When you live in the same foxhole with your entire family and are always interacting with the same small c…

There's a happy donuts at 3rd and King st, near the ballpark. It's open 24/7 and serves coffee.

I've been doing the same and the lag isn't the issue. The real problem is high CPU usage. I can only use the usb monitor for looking at text, anything more (like opening a webpage …

From a legal standpoint, there absolutely is a need to know your full name and birth date. It's called the FTC Coppa rule, where it's illegal to collect and disclosing personal inf…

You're not alone. My brother lives in Omaha and I've visited once. I had no idea it was hiding a tech community (my brother isn't a techie).

So by acknowledging the mastery, we have changed the practice. by acknowledging the mastery, we have changed the experience for the end user, but not the practice of creating the s…

Ask Bradley Manning.

I've had similar problems with people who think everything and anything is possible in just 4 weeks. People with positive attitudes who over-commit a whole team is bad enough, but …

The government isn't discerning between "not for profit" piracy and "for profit" piracy. In fact, they're not even focused on "piracy" at all. If this is allowed to stand without a…

The first startup I worked for called a company meeting and pretty much said everybody was laid off except those who were told beforehand that they weren't. The kicker is, I was a …

Did overall Groupers scheduled also go down once people realized they couldn't cancel without having to do it themselves? also, is the no-show rate still 0.2% after implementing th…

And they couldn't say no because...? Does being homeless automatically mean they have no free will? Granted, I've never been homeless, but I've read first hand accounts of people w…

I'm confused - A large part of the discussion here is around the legality of deduping and "infringing" files. I was under the impression that files themselves don't violate copyrig…

There is no consistency across border crossing sites. I spent most of my life living on the Ontario/NY border and I can say for sure that I've never had a problem at the border cro…

> The idea that "If my work had become too popular I'd probably think I'd have to change" is terribly cynical. Not really. For some people, the goal is to do useful work that only …

Am I the only one who can't use Solarized because it gives me a headache? I'm not trolling, I'm being serious. The contrast between the text and the background is lower than in a b…

did you bother to read the article? we're not talking about hiring for startups. We're talking about hiring for police/emergency services. Having a selection bias against hiring ho…

Personally, I liked the humor. It shows you're an actual human and not a program yourself. I'm always amazed at the commentators on HN who advocate that you should never offend any…

I had one of those. If anything, it made me MORE paranoid. Before, I only responded to noise. Easy enough to fix, put on the headphones. But with the mirror, I can now see constant…

I don't understand how you can think this is a valid argument against piracy. Community is available on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, netflix, hulu and NBC.com. Plenty of perfectly…

I've been told by IDE users that a large part of why they use IDEs is just how much work it can do for you without you having to think about it. Need to change a class name that ge…

It's well understood in the social gaming industry that if you want a hit game, you have to do one of two things: get an underground viral hit (very hard and impossible to predict)…

And that's exactly what some of us do. But there's no way you're getting all of your facebook friends to do the same. Facebook can build a profile on you based on your friend's tra…

I give that arrangement until your friend realizes he can only shift his content onto 5 devices, at which point his content is lost forever. Or when his hard drive crashes and he r…

rapidshare is a swiss company, and the law is less crazy over here. Tell that to the pirate bay.
