I think what he means by that is "even if it was free, I still wouldn't switch". And from free the only way they could make the price even better would be to pay him.

Well, for now at least, they're not charging the extra 2% that snapCard takes.

This thread is about solving them using pen and paper:

I don't see this problem listed, but I didn't look through the whole thread.

I expect them to go back to right where they were once their penalty is lifted. Assuming most of their visits were google searchers clicking on the top link, nearly all of those visits/day will come back once they're the top link again. Remember that a huge majority of people have not heard about this controversy. The hacker news sort of community is not their primary audience.

It's possible they'll be bigger, what with all the free (though bad) press they've gotten.

Because they weren't trying to kill that woman, they were trying to kill people they were allowed to kill by international law.

I'm not 100% sure if this is considered "collateral damage", but I think this explains the situation in general: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_damage#International...

I played through it. There's 5 "tests", and it took me about 2 hours, though now knowing the solutions I could play through again in probably 15 minutes, so it just depends how long it takes you to figure them out.

Overall they're very good levels. A good bit more difficult than the base game, and most of the other user-created levels I've played. I was a little surprised that a couple places were more about reflexes than brainpower, since I assume they're looking for good problem solvers rather than good first-person-shooter players. But in general, very good puzzles implemented very well.

"# of users" is a metric I use to choose which framework to use. For one, it makes it much more likely that a problem I'm having can be solved with a google or forum or stackoverflow search.

I think that alone makes it a much better metric to judge the experience you'll have with a framework than its cyclomatic complexity (at least for a user of a framework, maybe not as a developer)

For what it's worth, I cut out an image of just the map from the screenshot posted, and gave it to google reverse-image-search, and it did NOT match it to a map of Zork. It just returned a bunch of similarly colored images.

He was talking about the "cool factor", presumably as measured by the kids.

From the beginning of the article:

"My team and I at Parse have worked hard to create a platform that lets..."

Buying stock is generally about what you think will happen in the future, not what has happened in the past.

99% of US Software costs more to write than it's worth.

No, they (supposedly) use lighting and sound to see if two phones running Color at the same time in the same approximate location are likely actually in the same place.

For example, we could have the same GPS location while being on different floors of a building.

downvoted in spite of the irony.

Selling hundreds of millions of dollars of advertising.

The numbers they release are "monthly active users", ie people who logged in within the last 30 days, not stub accounts.

No, he said he's using python, so it's False

I don't understand this logic at all. Twitter has learned so much by launching as early as they did, and now it's a huge success. It's better to "scale and stop falling over" while you're improving your product and growing exponentially than spend a year and a half having meetings.

Since you say cost is very important, San Fran is probably not the best. For a place like you describe you'd be paying about $3000/month in SF, and could find a similar place in Berkeley or Palo Alto for about $2000/month.

Between Berkeley and Palo Alto, I recommend Berkeley. Personally, I love Berkeley and currently live there, but that decision is basically would you rather live in a college-town near SF or a college-town/suburb near silicon valley. Either way they're all about an hour drive away from each other at most anyway.

Try following people you find interesting, and then reading the interesting things they say and link to.

I'm guessing they're doing this so they'll be able to keep the Nov.5 date, after seeing a huge increase in the number of apps.

There is! If you submit a link that has already been submitted you'll just be sent to that post's page instead of posting a dupe.

Personally I think more high-school/college tests should be given with the students using computers & the internet while taking them, since that's how the world works now. Not all tests by any means, but more than currently. But until that point, letting some students use their iphones because it's also their graphing calculator, on a test where most students don't have access to the internet and their friends and other test takers with iphones, is an invitation for cheating.

I hate this argument against Michael Moore, especially when there are legitimate ones. He's not being hypocritical or ironic - you can play the game well and still think the rules should be changed.

The cure for cancer will likely be found in a highly technical way.

I don't think you should leave early. Think of it this way, you'll be in the "real world" from approximately age 25 through the rest of your life, getting there one year sooner doesn't really do anything for you, and in the big picture senior year of high school is a really unique time in your life. Enjoy it.

Vint Cerf is an outlier, in many ways.

Facebook is not anonymous. That is enforced and by design, and fairly important in distinguishing it from other social networks. The rest of your points are still fair though.

Don't be depressed, it's the top link on science reddit. Though, sadly, the top comment is grammar correction :/
