I'm in the process of scanning the family's old film, photos, and converting VHS tapes. I'll save all the original scans, and digital video into a folder which will now become the …

What is this, a guessing game? If you don't want to answer the question, please let us know instead of giving vague answers.

How is it practical? It's a beautiful design, but far simpler designs can run circles around it in every scenario I can imagine. A small version might make for a fun desk toy. When…

I'm curious to see what happens as our age group gets older. Right now few focus on developing applications, games or social networks for elderly individuals, since there isn't a b…

Are comments ever deleted or hidden from view completely? I've been reading HN for a year or two, and I've never noticed an issue with comment quality. In topics with a larger numb…

The gym has one main advantage, you invested time to get there. When I had a gym in my apartment building, I'd put on my gym clothes, go down there, and workout for an hour without…

Agreed, cheap labor isn't hard to find, and there are countless people that would answer captchas all day long for a few dollars. How many captchas could you answer in a day? Let's…

Why would you say unable to launch isn't a fair assessment? If you had a functional and useful alpha over 2 years ago, and 1.0 isn't released, I'd say that's spot on. You're going …

Crowdfunding web applications? Is this becoming a new thing? Send us 100k, and we'll finish our beta application, and give you rewards, like your name in the code, or for $500, you…

Agreed. I had the pleasure of calling CRA last month to sort out a problem. I spent an afternoon trying to piece together all these letters, payments, refunds, etc, and what exactl…

Ah, interesting. It looks like they sell a grinder to chop up your old parts, and then the extruder melts them into a filament.

Is there anything on the market to melt your printed parts or toys, to create a new spool of plastic for printing? In short, some type of recycling process you could do at home.

Why is it difficult? I run a medium size website, with a custom threaded comment system. It receives 30,000 new comments a day on average. There has been zero issues, it's a simple…

Agreed, it looks like a JS library, or a new domain extension.

Cold turkey and uninstalling works well. In my case, anytime I wanted to game, I'd get a prompt that the 10gb download would take 12 or 24 hours to reinstall. I was looking to game…

Yep, that demo works fine. Firefox/Chrome, Windows 8.1, Intel HD 4000.

Anyone else running into blurring issues? I tested it out on Firefox and Chrome, and in both browsers the face texture is a blur. The high resolution only appears when I have the b…

I think these would have been a huge hit in the 90s. http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2014/03/3D-printed-shoes-by...

What do you guys think of the changes to Humble Bundle in the last year? They have a lot of additions, with not only occasional bundles, but now weekly sales, and their store. Do y…

Agreed, they just keep showing this plastic rectangle, with a flat strip of carbon fiber sandwiched in the middle for reinforcement. Wonderful, but is that the limitations of this …

Nope, I'm fairly confident in my ability to direct the site in the right direction, and to handle the development side of things. 1. I do have volunteers that assist with support. …

One. I have enough work for 4 or 5 people, but I prefer to keep going solo. It slows growth a bit, but I don't have the headaches of managing employees, and it allows for more free…

I spent a year or two building out the app, growing the user base, and adding new features. After that, my focus redirected to improving server performance with the growing traffic…

This is the wrong approach, and it's going to help deteriorate an already small community. 1. HN doesn't have an issue with comment quality. 2. HN should be concerned about growing…
