I deadlifted 425 ... ... ... yup that's about it [edit] actually in hindsight I've spent a lot more time with my 9yr old daughter than I have since the birth of our son. Pokemon Go…

When I signed for prime 3-4 years ago there was also a lot online retailers jerking around on shipping prices. "Oh that CD is $0.01 but it is $11.99 shipping, so if you don't like …

another example would be petrol/gas station pumps: http://www.olivierlorrain.com/2009/06/20/bad-design-gas-pump...

I have a newspaper clipping from when a car hit me when I was 5 years old... the dark truth of the matter was I hit the car by bolting across the road and smacking my head into the…

Green: Healthcare, Education, and Government Blue: Professional Services Looks like how Minneapolis and St. Paul folk perceive each-other is dead on: http://i.imgur.com/56EgrkE.jpg…

that's really impressive, good luck!

I wish we would kill flash by providing a stronger solution. Does any application exist today that can replicate the functionality of even Flash MX (now 11 years old) in HTML5? An …

If it had enough torque (which seems to be a problem given the plastic nature) I could see it breaking loose rusted or stubborn bolts. Maybe? In a scenario like that you wouldn't r…

> Adobe’s stock price has increased from about $30 to over $80 since Check In began. I don't want to be overly negative but COME ON. Changing their goals program didn't nearly trip…

Getting the admin-interface correct is one of those holy grails. The problem I typically run into is adding complex wizards or features outside of the standard crud stack. When I'm…

Oh totally, draft would be fine, but even the idea of playing something randomly generated like this would be pretty fun.

This is a very interesting idea. I'd like to see it played with 100% of the cards being generated through a system like this. 4 players, 4 automated decks of random (possibly nonse…

Serious question: Is this significantly different from all the similar-themed articles in the 90's and 80's? It seems like the more things change the more they stay the same... htt…

I'm not a fan of thread-splitting but that'd be one option (Ask HN: Who's hiring directly). Otherwise what about people add tags like [Direct] or [Hiring Manager] to their posts:?

I can only speak to MtG when it first came out, I've been out of the loop since eh since when 4th edition started or so. MtG exploded because it was (and I hate to use this term): …

Great idea! I understand there are only seven options (hence the name) but I'd suggest adding a music playlist as an item. It's easy to describe and would cover multiple GUI elemen…

I think it's an interesting approach. There are some things you can do with a projector that you couldn't do with another screen ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9JXtTj0mzE ) I co…

It'd be interesting to see what 12 or 24 frames of an animation look like, something like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/Muybridge...

Yeah it's the pro but the con (IMO) is that if you're the last active contributor then it has effectively become a custom framework... which nobody likes to support.

I know Wells Fargo went full-bore with YUI to the point of creating their own derivative ( http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2013/11/08/yuiconf-2013-an-amazi... ) I have to say, enterpri…

I think you should show the comments first without a time-limit and then allow the user to play. For example: /* * @Input1: an integer * @Input2: an integer (@Input1 Right now it t…

Wow, we used to do this using the free transform tool. Here's an embarrassingly bad piece I did in '98 http://i.imgur.com/SmgQSy7.jpg Not to go too far off-topic, the meta informat…
