I loved this movie, and I appreciate the overall premise of the letter -- simplicity can be freeing, because it allows you time to breathe and discover what really fulfills you. Th…

I came here to ask the same question. Honestly, I was hoping for proper encryption. That's the only feature Day One does not have that I want so very badly. I have no desire to upl…

Saw this yesterday, and was truly moved. There's just so much hope in her voice; in her life. I can only endeavor to experience that kind of unconditional love and support in mine.…

I do this, and occasionally I catch flak for it. I put in 8 hours, and that 8 hours happens to be fantastic -- regardless of how busy I look, what I work on, or who I work with. Th…

I just picked up the TI EZ430 dev kit, and then this hits the web. I tried for days not to back it, and then it hits HN. Oops. There goes the money, and my pride. ;) Hopefully its …

Sounds like what tawlk does. Wonder if their training data/method is better, though.

Why do startups do this? I've seen this a few times over the past few years, and every time I find it loathsome. Dirty laundry isn't something you just go around airing because som…

I had a chance to see the tech demos for Tawlk, as lrvick is a member of our local hackerspace, and I have to say I was blown away. This thing is amazing, and the way the infrastru…

I, also, cannot edit the doc at the office. I agree with you 100%, the language and platform is not what the client needs to be concerned about -- its the features, business cases,…

You really have to admire these guys. They've managed to make money and give away everything they've designed at the same time. This is the critical mass I want OSHW to achieve, an…

My assumption is that after Arrington was ousted, they went back to their old ways. Kind of sad, really.

I have to disagree. A college education costs about $26,000 for Florida residents here in Orlando for a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Compare that to my first year's sal…

This smacks of silliness. People are using their development devices as their business and personal phones. This is called out in the developer agreement and every beta software ag…

Ubuntu was always about giving the every-man a usable operating system. Describing the typical new user as "a complete retard who can only click shiny buttons" is extremely rude an…

Loved that essay, and continue to cite it to coworkers who feel trapped in a schedule that makes no sense.

I'll just leave this here. :) "I’ve gone back and forth on whether managers should code and my opinion is: don’t stop coding. Each week that passes where you don’t share the joy, d…

I think it was a post on HN awhile back that got me thinking like this. If I don't want to do it, and the opportunity cost for me is greater than the cost to hire someone else to d…

I wholeheartedly intend on starting my own company at some point, but I'm on my fourth year of salaried experience. Why? Because there is so much to learn from big corporations, pr…

Good for Ryan, this is a great way for him to monetize an already awesome service.

Trust me, I noticed. I've been getting 10+ new followers every hour for the past week. Crazy. Need to find a way to keep S/N ratio up.

I'll just leave this here. Just replace the name Google with Facebook. http://www.securitytube.net/video/1084

Applying collective intelligence to news aggregators? Sounds like a start up idea to me. Go for it, I'll subscribe if it works.

Now see, I did what you did and was down voted into oblivion. I posed an insensitive question prefaced with a disclaimer. Instead of a polite answer, I got what you got, a bunch of…

I can't believe anyone would post this, even with a disclaimer. That said, what's your Meyer-Briggs? For my own personal research, not being snarky, I just have a hypothesis. :)

You have to remember what they pay for other technological services like Point of Sale and such -- Hint: it's a lot more than $19/month. ;)
