I say it survives by providing the same benefit that Amazon does: a reduction in cognitive overhead. With Amazon, the reduction comes from the streamlined buying process - you prov…

I have done a few flash to HTML5 conversions without source code, and the method I've gone with is just to use the flash as a guide and write the HTML5 app from scratch. You end up…

The exact same thing happened to Alex Blumberg in this episode of Reply All: https://gimletmedia.com/episode/91-the-russian-passenger/ . They investigate and try to find out how hi…

I'm in agreement with the parent comment - I was interested, but the examples were a little off-putting. I'd consider removing the baby one or posting a different angle.

It's quite obviously fake -- given that we are 11 days from April Fools, it's probably either an April Fools joke discovered prematurely, or set-up for a bigger one. Maybe somethin…

Disagree completely -- the world has plenty of office workers scared to try something so bold, we need better filtering tools and more people trying rather than believing that the …

I thought he did a good job too, but I think that lying at all, even about little details in order to have a more coherent, compelling story about an important topic poisons the wh…

Very nice design, the layout, with common areas below meeting areas, reminds me of Pixar's headquarters http://www.bcj.com/public/projects/project/39.html I remember hearing in the…

I noticed that the bubbles had a unique-looking arrangement in the march 7 announcement photo, so I (crudely) compared it to an iPad 2 with that wallpaper in both landscape and por…

These (apparent) e-mails between an owner with the dead battery issue and Tesla seem to indicate that there is a a 'built-in notification system' for this, but it wasn't added for …

I think the penalties associated with using plugins is simply the price DRM advocates should have to pay. I don't think it's the job of the W3C to make it easier on them to maintai…

Okal, I added that resource, though you may want to consider truncating the author listing like you are doing with the description on the index page (this book had ~40 authors). Gr…

FYI - I just added 'On Lisp', but the registration button is at the top right, called 'Signup'.

Google did this, but it wasn't recently -- http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=505255

I too made a canvas clock (though with a heavier dose of existentialism) a little while ago if you're interested. link: http://morrow.github.com/Life-Clock/ code: https://github.co…

I created a similar project (CSS docs only) after seeing the original version of this posted here and thinking of some improvements (instacss I think it was called). My version use…

I've used stripe and it's definitely a breath of fresh air, but as I understand it, most people won't bother switching away from paypal to something without international support. …

Not to get too analytical or philosophical, but I think it's because clocks normally represent time cyclically, as a repetitive process counting and displaying a sub-set of an ethe…

You have to wait to post replies sometimes, depending how many levels down the conversation is. This is a safeguard against threads full of knee-jerk back-and-forth responses, I su…

Here's a screencast I found that shows how transactions go down between dwolla users (you enter amount, dwolla account id). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbf24_PTyx8

Good point. You could also realistically eliminate those who know they are infected from the potential false-negative category, which would give you an initial pool of 240,000[1] p…

I'm also aware of the statistics - roughly split between gays and heterosexuals. I think the problem lies more with the epistemological side of things. As the marrow registry, how …

From wikipedia: "The vast majority of people (97%) have detectable antibodies by three months after HIV infection; a six-month window is extremely rare with modern antibody testing…

Well the STD test was only going to be able to rule-out donors who are positive at the time of sign-up anyhow. After submitting to the test and giving their sample, everyone become…
