I've been the sole developer of several startups over the years and still am for some. Some suggestions: - If there's no unequal investment in the startup (like for example someone…

It's not about being blind to criticism, it's about lies being told about a cool new technology in a thread about a cool project build on top of it. This complete comment thread ha…

It would be ideal on trinary hardware, but it can work with a trinary emulator for now. I expect to see a Trinary chip very soon. CfB, one of the core devs of IOTA, founder of NXT …

1: By using a ternary number system, the amount of devices and cycles can be reduced significantly. In contrast to two-state devices, multistate devices provide better radix econom…

IOTA is being attacked with FUD from all sides, some people really don't want it to succeed. There's a pretty complete thread on reddit with most FUD in it and why it's not valid: …

This isn't solving a problem, it's just making it a little less worse. Proof of Work by mining is just a plain stupid and wasteful idea. Ethereum is already switching to Proof of S…

Very cool game, thanks :) One minor issue in the API docs: canvasContext.beginPath() Begins drawing a new shape. canvasContext.beginPath(x, y) Sets the end coordinates of a line. t…

I've just played with the CoffeeScript implementation; It's pretty awesome and looks great: http://coffeescad.net/

If you like the concept of scripted 3D modelling check out OpenSCAD. Instead of entering commands you create a script that build your model for you, including the option to use var…

It would be very cool if they will be able to do this, I've toyed around a bit with multicopters and know a thing or two about the current state of non-military UAV's, here are my …

You are absolutely right: It's been a while since I last used Titanium. At the time you had to use a crappy/buggy UI to compile your app, with random bugs ocuring all the time, not…

I've created native iOS apps, native Android apps, HTML5 apps and I've used wrappers (Titanium Mobile and PhoneGap) over the last few years and these are my findings: - Native apps…

Very nice, cool build! Pretty cool that Bryan Cranston (Walter White from Breaking Bad) is in the top 10 as well (shared first place). Edit - Oh, you can just enter any twitter use…

A heli carrying a DSLR is big, expensive, hard to fly, dangerous and maintenance intensive. It's good for lifting a DSLR but I would go with a multicopter, the more blades the bett…

Indeed, the 5c is just a bad deal; You get the iPhone 5, a model that would've been reduced in price anyway if they retained it, with no big/significant changes other than a plasti…

Bought the PDF beta once it was posted here on HN with the hope you guys would be nice and provide an EPUB version later on. Just want to say thank you for listening and doing so! …

Same here, will buy but I really want the ePub version for my eReader.

Very similar to the methods I used :) On level 5 I used a textfile on the compromised level 2 server instead of the 'cleaner' method shown here. On level 6 I used some more JS: }];…

You guys did an awesome job, great stuff to waste some evenings on. It's nice to read about all these measures, especially since I've already noticed most of them while capturing t…

Oh yeah, it generates great output for sure, I might just write a simple wrapper (in PhantomJS or whatever) to automate the compilation step using a markdown document and strapdown…

I like the use of markdown for this kind of purpose but i'd rather just compile from markdown to the generated HTML and put that online for a better user experience (no flash of un…

no 2-letter domains allowed, they are reserved for countries ;)

The Dutch government wants ".overheidnl" (govermentnl), not only it's one ugly gTLD, they already have overheid.nl! What a waste of tax money...

Nice effort reverse engineering the protocol but I would only use this for tinkering purposes since it spoofs being a mobile device. If WhatsApp changes the protocol a bit it just …
