Splendor··on The Tiny Provision that Could Spark a Revolution in Health Tech
I understand why the author is upset, but it's perfectly reasonable to think that medical providers who are still storing your health records on paper on a shelf can't get you a JSON feed of your cholesterol results.

If we want access to our health data on this level we'll first have to get all medical providers into the digital age (and do it with open, compatible solutions before proprietary solutions become the norm and set us 50 years back).

Oh cool. There are two within 1,000 miles of me.
Splendor··on Ask HN: Finding contributors for open source project?
The first thing I would suggest is adding a Contributing section to the project's README. When I'm browsing through projects to see if I can help out I always check to see if the project has clear suggestions/guidelines for ways to contribute.

Second, tag issues in a way that lets people know which issues might be well suited to a new contributor jumping in (see "Good as first PR" in https://github.com/pydata/pandas/issues for an example).

Splendor··on Apple Denies Paying EA to Delay Plants vs. Zombies 2 on Android
It's a bummer for consumers, but you're absolutely right. It's no different than exclusivity windows for music releases, movie releases, or console video games.
Splendor··on Online Color Challenge: How Well Do You See Color?
I wish it gave more details about the test results. I'd like to know what the average score is in my demo; not just the highest and lowest scores.

Splendor··on Ask HN: What is your job title?
If I ever become a dishwasher I'm going to negotiate for the title of "Culinary Technology Maintenance Technician".
Splendor··on Ask HN: What is your job title?
Maintenance Developer (because they think "Junior" has a negative connotation).

If someone wants your fingerprints they already have them.

And they sat on the warrant-less wiretapping story for a year.
Splendor··on David Miranda: 'They said I would be put in jail if I didn't cooperate'
Glenn referred to him as "my partner" himself. Maybe this couple prefers that term?

Splendor··on David Miranda: 'They said I would be put in jail if I didn't cooperate'
From what I understand, under the Terrorism Act you're legally compelled to cooperate with the questioning and you're not allowed to remain silent so I have no doubt that those threats were real and that those questioning Mr. Miranda intended to act on said threats if they saw fit.
Splendor··on No Sign of the FCC’s Mobile Broadband Test App

Splendor··on Android AOSP maintainer quits
This really shows poor planning on Google's part. If their goal with the Nexus line it to be able to release builds to ASOP, they need to source their parts accordingly.
