Oh great, another race/gender-based discussion to elicit the best that the HN community has to offer.

There's OpenEars, which is free: http://www.politepix.com/openears/ . Basically, you can define vocabulary sets to check against, and you provide a callback to know when a word has…

FWIW, Apple has frowned upon the browser cookie check approach and they might reject a submission using it: http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/25/apple-rejecting-apps-using-... Do you g…

I'm really curious about this as well. Last I checked, Safari is sandboxed w.r.t. session data, and something like time/IP seems really difficult to use reliably, e.g. if the user …

I worked on the OLPC during my undergrad at MIT (worked on mesh networking their DSP engine and ported cocos2D to Sugar/PyGTK/PyCairo). Things that impressed me: the ambitiousness …

Really amazing product! Is the form on your site the most expedient way to get in touch/get access to the SDK? Also, is the error accumulation small enough so that you could use th…

Recently saw this movie a couple of weeks ago. I really loved it--the recording Hackman captured is itself a character in the film.

Possibly grandalf is referring to the Times publishing personal details of Snowden and his activities abroad vs. the actual contents of his leaks.

The source, Wayne Madsen, apparently has a history of unsubstantiated claims, including that Obama is secretly a homosexual[1]. [1]: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-guardian-way…

> only one side has taken actual action so far to hurt those civilians... and it was the government charged with protecting those same civilians. A meaningless technicality. You ca…

I must have misread the name in your comment. The greater point I was making still stands: as far as I know, neither Kerry nor Kerrey blur the lines between public service and mili…

Please re-read my comments. It has nothing to do with military service or the number of years served. I'm making a general point about each individual's credibility and motivations…

As I mentioned in response to davidhollander, Cheney's personal background is extremely important. If Kerry came out in support of PRISM et al., that would absolutely give me some …

The comparison between Drake and Cheney should be based on the metric of credibility to speak on these matters. Drake has military experience and has put his career and freedom on …

I think Cheney's draft dodging status is fair game. He did, after all, co-architect our erroneous invasion and continued occupation of a country that did not actually attack us, so…

> While companies are offered powerful inducements to cooperate with U.S. intelligence, many executives are motivated by patriotism or a sense they are defending national security,…

From a strategic role, what Greenwald's doing is a smart move. If they were to dump everything out in the public in quick succession, the news cycle (and, by extent, the public) wo…

Really cool--congratulations!

The iPad hardware itself speaks toward a consumer culture. We have a cultural obsolescence for their older devices: who even talks about iPad 1 or iPad 2 nowadays when there is iPa…

A nifty replacement category: https://github.com/gekitz/UIDevice-with-UniqueIdentifier-for... . It generates a different token than the UDID, so you will have to migrate users.
