eec··on Judge dismisses Yelp class action suit for good
Good. Here's a thought, spend less time suing yelp and more time invested in solving the problems your customer base has illuminated. The Yelps of the world aren't going anywhere and ultimately, the power they wield isn't theirs, it's the consumers.
eec··on Ask HN: What is the legal status of ride sharing in the US?
I'm not sure that it's legal or not but it is certainly widely adopted. I'd imagine that it becomes "illegal" once it's monetized beyond shared expenses. If you help pay for the gas/service of the vehicle, that's quite a bit different than paying for the service. Just my hunch.
eec··on Nest - The Learning Thermostat
It is strange that we haven't made this as comfortable an experience as our modern technologies/engineering allow. It's the equivalent of us still using the same type of mattress they used in the 1920's. I sleep on a "sleep number" and it's WAY more comfortable. I should be able to take a deuce on a way more comfortable toilet. Heated seat, automated flushing and paper dissension, automated seat rising and collapsing. When you are done using it, it should revert to a "closed" or "sleep" mode. The flush should be a pleasant sound enhanced by audio of your choosing etc. It should be a personalized experience.
eec··on Google Analytics Bug Exposes Privacy Issue
Question: Because of privacy concerns, are you less likely to visit or interact frequently on a site that uses GA? Just curious as I know that some people are and I'm wondering the thought behind it.

No. Elaborate...
eec··on Ask HN: What do you wish someone would build? (ie: free ideas to hack on)
I was just at a conference where our "leader" spent 20 minutes trying to get the sound to work on his presentation while we all sat there fighting to stay awake. When the sound emerged we were forced to watch a video clip from the movie, "Any Given Sunday". -In this case, I wish the incompatibility had existed permanently.

On a serious note though, this IS a problem that arises often.
