I've been trying to learn to code (I'm a designer) for a while now. I've read books, played around with making things and I'm now taking the JavaScript course on Codecademy. It tau…

The science is never done. I hate, HATE, hate when people treat science like we already have all of the answers. > and GMO foods have decisively been shown to have no health impact…

I'm not sure the point of this article. She didn't spend much time attacking specific myths. I see so many people these days running to defend these giant corporations and their pr…

(Haven't used this account in a while, not sure if it's shadowbanned. Hope you can see this.) No matter what you think of Apple, or Google, and their respective ecosystems, I'm cur…

My son is extremely allergic to wheat and milk. We have to carry an epi-pen with us everywhere. He swells up, including his face and throat, when he comes in contact with these all…

I don't see how news like this really belongs on Hacker News. Perhaps reddit or slashdot. It's really just circlejerking for Android fans and Apple haters. It provides no new or us…

Dan Pallotta wrote an article titled "When My Business Failed". It included a quote that explains the Apple/Android war perfectly: > I've learned that the adage about innovation is…

I guess I'll be the voice of opposition here. Unlike a lot of you, I live in Georgia and own guns. My family, friends and co-workers also own guns. I currently only own a small 9mm…

> third party software feels a little bit more likable (UI-wise) than it used to be. That is the important thing so many Android fans seem to ignore. The OS isn't as important as t…

> Apple will go bankrupt again in the 2030's I hope not. Apple is one of the few companies making an effort to design software and hardware together. Until other companies realize …

> Of course Windows Phone though the most beautiful OS of the three is well behind these two. Agreed. And iOS 6 is pathetic. I feel completely let down. Apple continues their push …

I've tried a few. Nothing too exciting. The 3rd party software kind of ruins the Android experience. Google can't do too much about that. I was far more impressed with the Windows …

My point was if we're supposed to root for a winner (which is stupid), it hardly seems impressive to use an article like this as your argument. The reason so many care about these …

You're right, I am an Apple fan. OS X has done amazing things for my productivity since I switched and I've done a tremendous amount of "creating" on the device people say is only …

So, the iPhone is almost even in sales with the entire Android ecosystem consisting of thousands of models, many of them cheap or free to consumers. Am I supposed to be impressed?

Time to turn off the talk radio, buddy. People can't get jobs that don't exist. The people on unemployment, disability or other government benefits didn't conspire to ruin the econ…

I know I'll get a lot of shit for this but good riddance. I hope it never comes back. I've felt this way since I found my stolen accounts posted on Pastie and they ignored requests…

No topic has made me more disappointed in the Hacker News community than this one. It's frustrating to see my livelihood attacked by the very people I try to help every day. It's n…

This thread is the perfect example of why I don't participate on HN as much as I do other communities. HN has great articles but the FOSS extremists run the comments. 1. Repeated a…

> If you want to stop strangers from seeing everything you do then you're probably better off just not using Facebook. Seriously. I don't use Facebook. But other people in my home …

I see no evidence to suggest Apple is trying to kill Flash. It looks like a bug. Due to performance issues, security issues (on a closed platform), battery life issues and finally,…
