Well, for one, we're Parishes in Louisiana, not Counties, but that's mostly a pedantic thing. There's another site that I've seen that does something similar: http://www.prodigyhea…

19/20. I've done this before because Dr Eckman's work interests me. I always misinterpret Asian smiles, for some reason.

Hey HN, We (me and markbao) are Supportbreeze. We're working on our marketing pages now and we're not sure if it's better to ask for credit card details at signup or sometime after…

Thanks for all the responses guys. We've decided to drop the free plan in light of the prescient advice herein.

Louisiana has free in-state tuition, so I'm graduating with an engineering degree debt free. Sure, my institution isn't as highly rated as the others I got into, but they just were…

I don't like these kinds of questions because more often than not people get it wrong. People who aren't actually performing any of these actions often mislabel and completely misu…

The title of this article is absolutely irrelevant to the actual arguments presented therein. He never argues that a high IQ will kill your startup. He only argues that not working…

His fundamental argument is logically flawed on a very basic level. It's simply insane to think that an ecosystem that has been operating in a certain manner for its entire existen…

Sounds like you're as much a Steve Jobs (or maybe just Apple) hater as this guy is a Steve Jobs lover. Maybe the article is a tad ridiculous, but at least some of the quotes are re…

One I went to high school with, another I found at TechStars for a Day, another was a designer I worked with on another and the final one I knew through a blogging network from whe…

Agreed. It doesn't get more pathetic than this.

A doctored image about any aspect is still a doctored image — the same principles apply. But still: it doesn't matter. Consumers aren't buying products based upon a photo. With the…

For the life of me I can't figure out why this is a big deal. Every marketing department uses doctored images in their promotions. It's a fact of consumerism. But it doesn't matter…

I'm going to give you an unpopular answer, but as an engineer I have enough credence to say this: You cannot become an engineer or learn engineering without going to college to bec…

This article is indicative of a culture that has become far too focused on being "politically correct" and less focused on everything else. Seriously? This is ridiculous. "Founding…

I think the important thing is that Apple doesn't include features for the purpose of having them. It's frivolous to have a feature that doesn't work properly or can't effectively …

This is awesomely good advice all around.

By engineer, they mean programmer or developer, of course.

OK: democracy was the wrong word to use here. However, the point still remains and you've quite nailed it — there needs to be clarity between Apple and the developers of their plat…

True — however that doesn't stop the DOJ from initiating an investigation or other third parties from requesting one. I think that Apple wants to avoid that kind of investigation. …

The point wasn't that those apps _don't_ have this functionality builtin, but rather that it's not an available API to developers. Marco had to implement a workaround in order to o…

Thanks for the compliment. You're probably right about the DOJ, but I like to stay optimistic when it comes to our system of justice.
