At least its not imaginary...

What accessibility issues are you specifically referring to?

All modern screen readers (such as JAWS, WindowEyes etc) work well with Javascript-enabled sites as long as appropriate standards such as ARIA are adhered to and keyboard focus is managed correctly.

If the algorithms have been published in a peer-review paper, you are free to implement and improve on them.

Ethically, if you make improvements it would be proper to publish your updated algorithm.

function complain(people) { complain(people); }

Awesome news!

Is it possible to use Stripe to handle third party payments? E.g. A site owner (A) creates a website. A user (B) of that site wants to sell a product. (B) creates a product page and accept payments from their own customers (C). Ideally (C) would pay (B) using Stripe, and (A) would receive a percentage of the revenue received from (C).

I remember seeing a matrix where the axis were attitude and skill/knowledge:

Promote - excellent attitude, excellent skills/knowledge Train - excellent attitude, poor skills/knowledge Manage - poor attitude, excellent skills/knowledge Fire - poor attitude, poor skills/knowledge

A site for launching a website in 4 hours. Meta.

A simple 'read receipt' would be much better, if its not already built in, although I suspect it is.

Two issues: 1. 'Terrorist' seems to be a keyword that will get you into a lot of trouble if uttered in the vicinity of an airport. 2. Why not provide evidence of the truth there and then? Show your camera photo roll containing the one photo, and then you have a solid case. Otherwise, we have to consider that perhaps more than one photo was taken, it is a "your word" against "their word" scenario.

3D Printing Pen, Glue Gun, whatever... my question is, what is it useful for?

Although I'm not sure its worth dismissing the product if the answer is for art students, this in itself would be an interesting market for a hardware product.

While reading this article I was constantly thinking that 'constraints' were a re-framing of goal-setting. It is well known and used in all modern companies, that setting a goal and breaking that goal down into manageable tasks is the optimal way to ensure productivity.

+1 on the Analytics and testing side, but what is truely important is that you build a good mental model of the product from a high-level, technical point of view. You don't need to know the nitty-gritty details of implementation, but you do need to know how the varios components of the product work together.

I find it interesting that all of these ideas come from non-technical, non-iOS developers.

I'd like to see an app that:

i) shows innovation in design, using novel components, e.g. the Path flyout menu. ii) provides an easy-to-use approach to a common problem, .e.g Tinder for online-dating.

The address, 2101 WAVERLY ST PALO ALTO, does indeed confirm this is the late Steve Jobs.

Please re-read 'Crossing the Chasm'. If you want to create a truly innovative business, its better to target early adopters/innovators than people traditionally known to be conservative with new products.

If you want to rehash existing ideas (e.g. an affiliate network thats easy to use) then this idea/model works fine.

I was under the impression that Bootstrap enables a responsive design out of the box? Is this essentially a standard CMS running Bootstrap backed up by solid design?

It’s not just who you know, its who you know that knows that you know.

A British psychologist called Richard Wiseman spent a year conducting a "scientific search for the world’s funniest joke". Here is his conclusion:

"Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?”. The operator says “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says “OK, now what?”

However! In the context of Hacker News, where the goal seems to be knowledge transfer, (b) is important as the joke should be a way to frame the knowledge transfer process.

The biggest issue for me in working in a cafe is confidentiality - its very difficult to keep work-related calls and designs under wraps.

For example, in the UK a doctor was recently struck off for transcribing patient details on a train - not the most sensible thing to do, but highlights that there are some jobs that require privacy.

Hmm http://news.500.co seems to be down.. :)

This is truly exciting - even if the project does not achieve the final goal of 'simulating' the human brain, the discoveries along the way will be invaluable.

Sorry to be blunt but you are not "gifted" - you might have experienced being the most intelligent person in the room, but that's dependent on the other people in the room.. Applying for a junior iOS job and instead be offered a solutions architect role speaks more about the company you work for than your skills.

I'd advise trying to zoom in on what excites you about your current role, and look for opportunities at a larger company that will stretch you and engage you with people of equal or greater ability.

Even shorter list: 1. Plan your day. 2. Execute on the plan 3. Review and score how it went.

The problem with this analysis is that it assumes Apple has a strong influence over the price of apps. Sure there may have a subtle weighting for free apps in their search algorithm, but this is different to sorting apps based on price.

At the end if the day, if an app isn't free, it's down to the App developer community to set the price as a collective. However it only takes one rouge developer to trigger a "race to the bottom". In my opinion, it is developers who have created low prices on the App Store, not Apple!

Note that there is a huge difference between the UK PhD and the US PhD process. In the UK you are left to your own devices for 3 years, and only find out if the external examiner even approves of your research questions in the one and only final verbal exam. It is up to you alone to ensure the research is valid and makes a contribution. US PhD candidates have a lot more guidance and handholding that includes 4 years of structured training, followed by the presentation of a research plan that is signed off by examiners before any research is begun so there are no surprises in the final examination.

The problem is that the level of abstraction in modern languages means that the bar to becoming a programmer today is a lot lower than it was say in the 70s.

Can you imagine explaining to a programmer in the 70s that they'd be able to determine someones precise location, place that location on an interactive map, and share it with all their friends, all from a tiny device that they keep in their pocket thats programmed using a simple, high-level API?

As a result, yes society does expect a lot from programmers, and rightly so.

I couldn't help but think by reading this that the polymath bar to becoming a renaissance man is being lowered.

Presentations have been around for quite a while:

"there must be an iOS equivalent of the <strong> tag, right? Apparently not."

Just use three labels, with the middle label set to bold.
