I've experience working on a team for one GPS fleet management solution. Our SIMs were usually provided in a bulk PO from a top tier wireless provider and were all locked down to a…

I have to say I agree fully and it's kind of disappointing how much chaff makes it to the HN front page. This is ostensibly an interesting article, but at second glance doesn't rea…

I propose that Walmart needs to use their bulk purchasing power/clout, in combination with the efficiencies that Amazon has put in place, to provide lower prices. If you're going t…

> Aren't at this point you doing the job of two people? ... our company is worth X Billions of dollars, they can afford to hire a Business Analyst/ Better Product Manager. Yes, def…

I work with a customer who is notorious for not defining requirements. Their culture is that everyone is either too busy or not knowledgeable enough of all the working parts of a s…

We tried Platejoy for 6 months. We found it was useful, but found a few caveats: It was very easy to back ourselves into a corner with food preferences such that you see the same s…

Our small team (3 people) is using bitbucket for a hobby/private java project. We're all remote and there are instances where it would be great to do a code walkthrough via AT&T Ne…

I wonder if Pokemon Go is using this, supposedly it is built using Unity.

As someone who knows zero haskell, and little markdown, can someone explain how this works? haskell.org [1] says there is "bird style" and "LaTeX style" ways of marking off code vs…

I would argue the Tor example is not a valid comparison. Tor is a very complex system. It has a vast attack surface for holes, especially if you ignore boundaries like assuming the…

Could you not potentially retire earlier? In that way you're basically "back-loading" all of your vacation time, if one could freely exchange salary for time off.

What filesystems would you say provide you with high stability confidence?

Who is claiming this is a copyright issue? Software licensing and copyright are two different things. Are you saying this is also not a software licensing issue?

From the article: > “With more than 40 million members, we are excited by Credit Karma’s widespread adoption by people all over the country, giving us insight into $2.3 trillion of…

I understand your tendency to talk about the downvotes, and I don't think you are being rude/baiting. Readers here are probably more interested in your argument/contribution to the…

Why the title case on Eric Schmidt's quote? Serious question. Can't watch the linked youtube video right now.

It would be interesting to subsidize your tech R&D (and therefore your food output) by using a CSA-style subscription service. You don't have to only self-sustain. You could produc…

Hi. I can only offer my own anecdotal evidence. I suffered from depression for about 9 years, and I've been past it for about 4 years now. I am not a doctor, so YMMV. Good that you…

Tesla is trying to reach into lower market segments. The media is throwing around the $35k price point for a few months. [1][2] [1] http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/15/tesla-model-i…

Paid overtime.

Yet another anecdote here... for me, Grooveshark was the genesis of music discovery. Napster, limewire, etc. helped with artists I knew about already. mp3.com helped me with genres…
