"Each returned URL is unique and valid for a single usage, under the specified conditions." Where and how is the url actually invalidated after it is used? (or are you relying on e…

If the only thing that ever comes of this is containing GIF reactions to the original message's thread this is the best, most productivity-boosting slack update ever.

This morning was real confusing. Couldn't find any status pages showing disruption, users couldn't log into the system but could use it if they were already logged in. Ran around l…

How many years therapy does this come with for the person who has to push down the motherboard lever?

Modern (science-based) medicine is a miracle of biblical proportions.

Wow, this is a fantastic visualization of algorithms with scary doctoral-thesis-y names. I love visualizations that make scary things simple.

So now it's down to a game of slapsies, but with borders.

This is brilliant. I'll bet most, if not all of the best sysadmins in the world would be in utter befuddlement if someone in their office was using a simple "idle" iphone as a keyl…

Why would this be hard to spoof? What's required here? Multiple Facebook accounts and a quick script?

I wasn't aware you COULD be downvoted on HN? Is it just my Tampermonkey script hiding the downvote button or something?

If this can match spotify's catalog any time soon, AND be available as an app or (usable) mobile site, ad free: RIP music services. This is an enticing offer for those on the fence…

It's not about disruption so much as it is about choice. Taxis should not be some ultra-regulated industry, and if it is, it shouldn't be near IMPOSSIBLE (read: ultra-expensive) to…

I just watched the video on their site and I have no idea what's going on: https://www.clinkle.com/

April Fools? "Build a smart coffee mug, build a talking bear, build a robot, or build something else entirely" and no validation (client nor server) on the form...? And a different…

Brace for incoming (revived) controversy[1]. 1. http://projects.latimes.com/prop8/donation/8930/

Lyft, Uber, and their likeness are going to be huge. Legislation permitting, I can't see many standard taxi companies surviving for much longer.

Google Trends Extrapolation: The Nostradamus of our times.

RIP Productivity, Thou shalt be missed.

Well, it's probably a little more complicated than that. Yes, if we define any actions taken by humans as "artificial", then it's "un-natural". BUT, putting selective pressure on a…

You're correct. I mixed up the first sentence with the next. But it seems to be an IPS, of some sort: "The P2815Q packs an IPS LED display will have a full 3840 x 2160 4K resolutio…

I assume that it being an Ultrasharp means it will be an IPS. If so, pretty sweet. And it might help drive down prices for the Korean 27s (1440p) monitors on eBay, which are much e…

Right, Go is a language. It does have a decent (built in) HTTP library, and is actually pretty fast as a webserver in itself. On the more conventionally robust framework end of thi…

I've been following these for most of the rounds, and Go has been improving impressively. Whether that's because of improvements in the language itself or a more zealous crowd send…
