hmhrex··on Google will begin testing password-free login to Android apps
> Biometric authentication is a powerful enabler, allowing businesses smart enough to deploy it to significantly increase rates of registration, gaining data and insight about their customers, while also increasing customer security. This is a win/win scenario which sounds the death-knell for awkward and insecure passwords sooner than we may imagine.

More unwarranted data-gathering.

I really want to like this idea, because I so very hate passwords, but until there's a method that I have complete control over without the cost of my privacy, I'll be opting out.

> What happens if theres a leak?

I didn't even think of this. That's a very scary thought. Not only is it leaking your password replacement, but a good part of your identity.

hmhrex··on Editing of Pig DNA May Lead to More Organs for People
These were my exact thoughts. So weird that this absurdity in a sci-fi novel might be a reality.

I'm not sure if maybe Atwood already knew this to be the case, but it seems like quite the coincidence.

hmhrex··on Show HN: Instagram on the Google Maps
It's super strange looking up your hometown and realizing you know half of the people posting. Almost creepy.
hmhrex··on The slinky machine: a slinky escalator
I had never heard of this guy before, and I'm completely blown away by his work! Especially the fact that he uses more wood to create tools to be more efficient. I might have to get a bigger basement...
hmhrex··on The Great Canadian Vowel Shift
That movie was great. Yay Canadian arts!

I'm from the maritimes. Can confirm.

And why do I still sing it?
hmhrex··on Chrome is developing a Sidebar API
Never heard of this. Looks like a really cool project.
hmhrex··on Original Star Wars script discovered in UNB library
That's awesome. That's where I grew up. I had a bunch of friends that went to that university. And if I'm not mistaken, Heroes Beacon is where I used to get my comics.
hmhrex··on CipherShed, the Truecrypt fork
Anybody use this yet? What's the legitimacy of this compared to Truecrypt's fallen domain?

I see that actually list the developers which is nice. But unfortunately I'm not too familiar with the big name's in cryptography software.

hmhrex··on Free Programming Books
Dumb question here: Any way to maybe download all the PDF/HTML books in one big collection? I could imagine it being pretty huge, but I might interested in downloading it.
hmhrex··on Hypercard reimagined – an iOS app maker and private app store
That makes a little more sense. I'm very interested in this project. I might actually jump on board after I see it in action for a few months.
hmhrex··on Hypercard reimagined – an iOS app maker and private app store
I think that would be fine with Apple as long as were only able to open apps sent to you, and there's no price attached.
hmhrex··on Hypercard reimagined – an iOS app maker and private app store
I wouldn't mind being able to send apps to my friends and everything without having to pay another amount to Apple for a developer account. But I don't think it's going to happen.
hmhrex··on Hypercard reimagined – an iOS app maker and private app store
This looks interesting to me, but doesn't Apple hate apps that are too much like the App Store? The Private App Store description seems like it would make it a target for the ban hammer.
hmhrex··on Show HN: HTML5 clone of OS X AirDrop – Easy P2P file transfers in a browser
Wasn't sure if this would be useful to me without mobile support, but man, it really saved my ass today. Thanks for this.
hmhrex··on Show HN: Learn Web Development for Free with The Odin Project
I would love to see php curriculum alongside Ruby. Looks like a great resource.
hmhrex··on Depression is an inflammatory disease; where does inflammation come from? [pdf]
Can't wait to read this. As a person who has dealt with severe depression, and has come through it alive, I'm always interested in new research on the subject.

great.

I for one would love to see a script. Haha.
hmhrex··on 67 Signals hasn't changed a thing
Great review. Thanks for that information. I'll keep that one in mind as well.
hmhrex··on 67 Signals hasn't changed a thing
Nice to see developers that care! I am a true believer in an app doing one thing well (a la Hoekman's "Designing The Obvious"), so maybe some of these suggestions could be rolled into a separate CRM app that integrates with Duet?

Some of the features we are looking for:

- Sales Opportunities/Leads with different stages (i.e. Identified, Qualified, In Process, etc.) (These would probably be similar to projects, just with different fields)

- Notes and history for Companies/Company "Users"

- Folders in the Files Section so, for example, we can separate Marketing Templates from Training Documentation.

- Dashboards such as Open Opportunities dollar amount, Closed Won Sales dollar amounts, etc.

- Alerts for phase completion. For example, when one phase of our project is complete, we either get an alert that this phase is complete, or the next phase is automatically created.

- Permissions.

I COMPLETELY agree with this statement. We have been looking around for about a month now, and it's been really hard to distinguish them apart. It's been equally as difficult to find a product that has everything we need.
hmhrex··on 67 Signals hasn't changed a thing
Very slick. I like the price as well. Unfortunately it's missing a few things that we need, such as Gantt charts, and a little better CRM features.
hmhrex··on 67 Signals hasn't changed a thing
This might be exactly what I'm looking for. looks really great.
hmhrex··on 67 Signals hasn't changed a thing
Speaking of 37signals. I am looking for a good PM and CRM software. Either a piece of software that does both, or two separate that integrate nicely. Any suggestions?

We are a Web company that handles projects including Web, Film, Photography and design.

We might be developing one in house if we can't find one that meets our needs.

Yup. There goes my 5 bucks.
hmhrex··on Ask HN: Appropriate toy for a 1-year old girl that may lead to programming
I agree that everything should be done in moderation, and we do let our 1 year old watch a kids show one in awhile, but there is evidence against it. Here's a specific study: http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2010/03/03/does-baby-e...

Every study I read says about the same thing, any kinds under 2 shouldn't be watching much TV, because it can actually bring their speech level down.

We are not really a "leave-the-TV-on" household, and we believe that you shouldn't completely substitute parent-child learning with TV shows.
