I have a friend who used to start every meeting with writing down how much the meeting will cost the company (pp person/hour, etc.) on a whiteboard. They worked for a university's …

You could create a subreddit or something similar instead of a website. You'd still face traction and backlash issues, but it seems like a lot less effort and commitment to get sta…

Honda LaneWatch (blind spot camera) is easily my favorite car safety feature. Unfortunately, it's more expensive to manufacture, compared to standard blind spot warning systems, an…

Also consider non-Western languages (CJK, Russian, Arabic). My team got bit by this when we discovered we couldn't render emoji's client-side.

Photopea appears to do it properly with feature testing (no UA checks): https://www.photopea.com/willitwork/test.js FYI, Modernizr is a fantastic library for browser feature testin…

The Demon Hunter and Blademaster is each player's respective hero/champion and essentially a free powerful unit. The DH player has the advantage during the early game, so is scouti…

Semi-related, it's hard to imagine being defrauded out of cremation remains, but it's apparently quite likely to happen during pet cremations (due to the cost to run the machines, …

It took a stressful few months for me to make this similar realization. I don't know why it felt so profound at the time, but I imagine a lot of developers (myself included) get th…

One of my favorite Mac (anti-)games was a zen-like, music space platformer called Tranquility[1]. The relaxing "floating" gameplay was interesting enough, but the generated ambient…

Flat design looks nice, but provides less affordances. In practice, flat designs have less detail, so convey less information. This leads to uncertainty/doubt/cognitive load where …

What do you mean by microphone? Is audio analysis of keyboard chatter a thing or are we leaking passwords when we verbally communicate them to a co-worker? I don't think this is re…

Hi HN, I built this tool to help me bootstrap various work environments using iTerm2. Profiles never quite clicked for me and so I chose juggling a few .applescripts for my least h…

Thanks, Sam! Q: I was curious what types of tools or applications YC uses to operate (manage applications, track feedback, or schedule meetings, etc.)? Can you share your stack?

KeePassX (Mac) + cloud storage and unique "low security" derived passwords for each service 1 . I made a clone (lazypass.com) of passwordtable.com, so I could use a custom no-look-…

1) Setup VM with OSX, 2) Sign-in iTunes account created with a gift card, 3) Download/purchase app in iTunes (OSX), 4) Rate app in iTunes (OSX). Step 3 might require a physical dev…

I don't know either, but it looks like the transcripts are initially generated from speech recognition (text dump + timing meta data?) and then hand-edited/annotated by a producer.…

Assuming these numbers are fact, has there been any extensive research on how taxi / private car / shuttle services' revenues have been affected by Uber and the like? Pre-Uber, I p…
