Since DHH started writing, there have been 800 generations of starry-eyed startup people with unexamined motivations. He can do his thing and there's more than enough regard for th…

Any civilization advanced enough to build a Dyson Sphere would by definition be one capable of extreme, long term focus. Since ennui is the enemy of long term focus, they'd probabl…

Great work! I wish there were one of these for Russia.

Great idea! I emailed you yesterday.

If it turns out our entire universe is a simulation anyway, then what's the difference? The cruise ships walls are a simulation of a simulation, and our memories of them after retu…

Easy: use cloud storage with 2-factor authentication.

This seems to be more or less exactly the same as http://jetstrap.com

I bought a 4-letter domain (edofo.com) on Namecheap for the standard .com price but now don't know what to do with it. It just sounded like a good company/product name.

Hangul is great, but don't try to use it for English. Try writing "Larry really loves the zoo very much". You get "Raeri ri-a-ri reo-beu-seu da joo bae-ri meo-chi". In other words,…

Actually, the prices are right on target for Seoul, South Korea. Unlike most websites of this sort, I'm surprised to find the information accurate.

"Forensic reconstruction after a famous restaurant fire in the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Kentucky confirmed that many of the victims sought to pay before leaving, and so died in…

I can't guess how many web apps have lost me because, instead of signing up right then and there, they waited a few weeks to put a beta link in my mailbox. By then, I'd moved on. Y…

"Sorry, flights from South Korea are not currently supported." Which is fine, because local websites always have 30%+ cheaper rates than ITAsoftware, Hipmunk et al.

Ah, these codes have already been used.

Is it crazy for Apple to use its money to create its own "bank", then loan itself the money needed for a buyout?

"At press time, sources confirmed this is why Cipher is the best in the business."

This is great! To make it even more quicklook-like, what I'd like to see is an option to: * change keyboard combo to Spacebar (I never use it while browsing anyway) * on keycombo p…

This is fantastic! I teach classes and need a quick way to jot something onto the screen. The one piece that's really missing for me, or 2 pieces really, is the ability to make big…

"but hey, it's something" is usually not worthwhile.

I live in South Korea and can't get to San Francisco for a 12-week stretch. But you have a tremendous idea here and I'd love to be a student. If you could compress the in-class tim…

If you view this on Google Korea and follow it to the end, the first search result is a torrent of the DVD.

They could trivially bring Google Maps from iOS5 to iOS6... if Apple wanted them to.

Task List apps occupy this interesting position in which, in the long run, it's easier for developers to build the thing (tweaking one or two costs/benefits) than for users to swit…

The way people here go about disagreeing with one another is perhaps my favorite part of hacker news.

I live in South Korea and use KakaoTalk ("Katok"). I haven't exchanged phone numbers with a Korean in the past year who didn't already have the app. I know because the moment I add…
