>A good starter article: http://informationarchitects.net/blog/100e2r/ Somewhat ironically, I find that page a little hard to read because the background is so bright. I find readi…

I'd be curious to get the opinion of others on whether or not this was a mistake given the information they had at the time . It's pretty useless to say "our biggest mistake was x …

When I first saw the site, I was hoping there would be a way to upload a picture, perhaps do some kind of feature-tagging (similar to the way you point out your pupils on photos on…

Huh. Less than I thought, somehow.

I did mean physical orientation, but I see from rereading my question that's not clear at all.

Thanks!

Isn't it easier to "sleep with" a laptop than a tablet? A laptop holds the screen in a vertical orientation that you can watch while lying down. How do you do this with a tablet? I…

Any stats on how big the typical HN traffic spike is?

I've always thought that a laptop-tablet hybrid of the sort Lenovo makes is the best form factor[1] for mobile computing. A physical keyboard and trackpad you can fold away when yo…

Huh. I thought it was an update to reduce specifically "low-quality" EMDs rather than EMDs with "a lots of keywords in the domain name". Or are these two ways of saying the same th…

Which part of the TOS do you think this would violate? AFAIK you're not under any obligations to show Adsense ads to all users, or all of the time. I know quite a few people who on…

Thanks, I appreciate your comment. Unfortunately, barring a change in my circumstances or a sudden upsurge in interest from the public, I just don't think it will be possible. It m…

Yeah, I've been following them for a while. Aside from the obvious difference in focus, my biggest gripe with that site is that the basic taxonomy is per supplement. The typical us…

I suspect I've missed the boat on this one, but in any case: About a year ago, I began an (overly) ambitious project to build a database of the scientific evidence behind the use o…

>This turns your email inbox into a giant password manager I already use my primary email for this purpose. Most passwords I memorize, but some, for services with requirements so a…

At the $15 price point, the only other price point Amazon should worry about is $0. I would imagine few people would go through the hassle and risk of finding and trusting a third …

How does the authentication work with email providers? Does the application access email through POP or IMAP? Does it have arbitrary access to my email account? I fear I'll never b…

I think it would be near impossible for someone who has passed the patent bar to genuinely set aside their "specialized knowledge" when hearing a patent case. In fact, I will flat-…

I think the real question here is: if the non-shuffled deck had somehow worked in the Casino's favor and caused an otherwise-virtually-impossible losing streak for the customers, w…

They aren't exactly imposing a condition on an order from a judge. They are promising not to appeal if their conditions are met. Strictly speaking, it would only be imposing a cond…

The problem is that if that provision were actually enforced, kickstarter would be of much less use to those people it was originally conceived of to help. If you are a small indep…

Having read the article I don't really see how this is anything other than an extremely labour intensive method of doing content spinning which is as old as the hills. There are ma…
