Segmentation

Probably not, but it could still be useful for privacy minded individuals. Especially if it was open sourced on GitHub.

With WebRTC, can someone make a ephemeral peer-to-peer, one-to-one or one-to-many messenger?

I think that would be more private. Sever the 3rd party.

How about actual hacking?

Can a programmer write a script to automate or enhance their Fantasy Football? Like algorithmic stock trading.

Designers, what is M∀CAW still missing? (serious answers please)

This is really smart of Google and Oracle. By lending their engineers over to Healthcare.gov, their engineers are going to get the best healthcare systems training possible. It's the best domain knowledge enhancement program available. Healthcare.gov is attempting something no other start up in the nation has the opportunity or capacity of accomplishing, because of the sheer scope of it.

If I worked in a healthcare start up I would be making every effort to get contracted.

I wasn't planning on buying an iPad Air, as I'm still happy with my iPad 2, but that comparison chart on the first page really sold me that the iPad Air is the first real upgrade to the iPad 2.

My only complaint is I want high capacity, and I find it so ridiculous that to go from 16GB to 64GB I have to pay $200 extra. Two hundred dollars for 48GB. I think the last time I paid that much for 48GB was ten years ago.

Edit:

I wish Apple would put a microSD reader on the iPad. Purely for storage expansion. I realize they don't do this because it would basically kill their storage upgrade options and they'd probably lose money. No one would feel compelled to upgrade beyond 16GB.

microSD readers exist on the smallest devices nowadays, so form factor or weight is certainly no excuse.

Question about incomes and San Francisco start ups that offer full-time remote work:

If X programmer would make 100k/yr working at your location in San Francisco, does X programmer make 100k/yr if they are full-time remote in another city?

It's like drawing. http://i.imgur.com/RadSf.jpg

Now I just need Sim Ant, Artillery and The Oregon Trail.

Based off what, Hipster™ magazine?

Non v-neck option?

Cool concept. The video mentions musty smell persists after washing clothes. Wrong detergent choice or washing habits? I've never had that problem even after running 24KM in gym clothes.

It's just a concise example to demonstrate template and logic at the same time. Introductory PHP looks like that.

No where is he writing "Okay, let's start with an example on how you should be coding."

"My job takes me nearly an hour to reach by car."

I read this a lot but I think, in order for the U.S. to transition to bicycle friendly towns, you long-distance commuters are going to be initially excluded.

Most people are not commuting your distance. Most people live in a town, and work in the town. Most people commute at most 16 KM (10 miles) or less.

We need to focus on bike infrastructure in each town first, and then think about building bike highways to connect towns. (My idea has always been put protected bike lanes parallel freeways/highways)

I think the ultimate solution long-term are assisted electric bicycles. They aren't fully electric, you always have to pedal, but when you're going up hill you can enable the assistance to help you go up the hill faster.

Think of it like gym bands to aid you doing pull ups.

If the bike could charge itself through pedaling that would be a double plus.

A lot of people don't cycle because it's slow, and they may not care about the exercise benefits. If commuting they don't want to wear special attire or be sweaty when they show up to work. However, they would probably be cool with an assisted electric bicycle if they could get up hills faster without breaking a sweat.

Agreed. How is Apple not to blame? If this article was about Gmail instead of Mail.app, every comment would definitely be blaming Google.

He's referring to telemetry (logging). It's like an Apache log. Nothing to be uneasy about.

Are Hackathons of this scale broadcasted on the Internet? It would be cool to see a Twitch.tv for Hackathons. Also, you might think it's not worthwhile considering Hackathons take place over 24+ hours, but then some League of Legends tournaments take place over a week.

I'm surprised anyone was expecting an Apple 4k announcement. The tech is not affordable yet. Apple is premium, but not that premium. They're not going to release a $3,400 monitor and hype about it at their event, when only 1% of people are going to be able to afford it. The monitor will be branded Retina, and their current Retina mobile displays aren't exclusive to the 1%, regular consumers can afford them.

Because the author is critical of Apple, it's link-bait? The title is hardly sensational.

Tech covers Apple for page views and advertisement impressions. Don't take it personally. They're businesses. They're just doing what makes fiscal sense. They'll get far more revenue from Apple articles than Snowden.

Apple events are extremely popular in the media because the media participates in circle-jerking. Decades ago Apple did not have as much media spotlight, but after key hardware releases (e.g. iPod, iMac) the media began to grow its spotlight on Apple. They knew people loved reading about Apple, so they continued to place all bets on spotlighting Apple during its events knowing the return would be high. Even if Apple was not having an event, the media would artificially build hype by spreading rumors about Apple products, knowing readers would click.

The media does this with everything. Celebrity scandals, politics, etc.

I see jQuery in the example. Since jQuery is open source, can we see the jQuery Code Climate page? Or is it private? (and why?) Maybe I'm just misunderstanding.

Edit - I think I found it, once realizing the URL matched Github. https://codeclimate.com/github/jquery/jquery

Does this sound like you?

Wake up in the morning. You have about an hour to prepare and get to work. While you're eating breakfast, you read Hacker News. Multi-tasking. Now you have finished eating breakfast. Yet you're still reading Hacker News. You just gotta finish those last few links. And maybe check up on your email. Then you realize you've wasted minutes of an already tight schedule and you really got to rush it to make it to work on time. You arrive maybe 5-15 minutes late and a little flustered because you were racing.

Then you realize you could have just left the house quickly and read Hacker News at work, on the clock. Yet you'll make the same mistake tomorrow.

My sister described pinterest as "Reddit for women". I don't expect most of us to understand its value as we're not the target demographic.

Curation is done like subreddits. People have their own pinterest boards. Like Reddit, only the front page is nonsense, but if you have a specific interest, you can find a subreddit/board for it.
