I use PushBullet to send SMS from my computer. It get's the job done. https://www.pushbullet.com/
certifiedloud··on Summary of the Amazon S3 Service Disruption
This is a bit off topic. The use of the word "playbook" suggests to me that they use Ansible to help manage S3. I wonder if that is the case, or if it's just internal lingo that means "a script". Unless there is some other configuration management system that uses the word playbook that I'm not aware of.

I guess when they say 90 days they really mean it.
certifiedloud··on Pakistan airline admits taking extra passengers in aisle
Except that, due to your lack of consideration or knowledge, you put other people at risk. What happens when the aircraft hits turbulence and you can't hold on? It is very likely that you injure yourself, and worse yet, someone else.
certifiedloud··on Pakistan airline admits taking extra passengers in aisle
The other comments don't really take into consideration the possibility of turbulence.

Imagine people trying not to fling around the cabin when hitting a rough patch. This isn't something that happens on a bus, but it is routine in aircraft.

Understanding something doesn't mean you can manipulate it in any way you want.

I'd be interested to see a source on this, if you have one at hand.

They tweeted a link to that document on their status account. It is unusually candid.
certifiedloud··on Show HN: Math Attack – My side project of 3 years
It may be worth noting that some parents wont let their kids play games with ads.

There are two good reasons that I can think of for this:

1. The content of some ads can be inappropriate, even in children's games.

2. Fear that an ad will lead to a purchase of some kind.

I think an IAP would be a good solution for you.

certifiedloud··on Show HN: A new alternative to universal basic income: the universal job rebate
I wasn't talking about basic income. I was addressing your "guarantee" that nobody is fulfilled working for minimum wage.
certifiedloud··on Show HN: A new alternative to universal basic income: the universal job rebate
One of my favorite jobs was minimum wage. Certainly more fulfilling than doing nothing.

I can't be alone in feeling the therapeutic effects of work.

certifiedloud··on Obama Expands Surveillance Powers on His Way Out
> people in power are organizing, all together, a dystopian reality a la 1984

I'm not sure anyone believes that, really. And it isn't required in order to explain the explosion in surveillance.

In my view, it seems that increased surveillance throughout the world is a natural consequence of increased technology. If it's your job to stop crime, why wouldn't you digitize and automate?

The law is the last obstacle, and that is slowly being dismantled.

Wouldn't cameras-per-person be a more meaningful metric in this context than total count?
certifiedloud··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2016)
I applied only to be turned down for not finishing all the aspects of the "code challenge" within 2 hours.

I don't think the challenge is a fair representation of the competence of prospective hires. I was really hoping to get involved with what you guys are doing. I hope that improving your "hiring infrastructure" involves a reconsideration of this filter.
