maresca··on Show HN: we like to work from coffee shops, so we made this

I'm curious of what the conversion funnel would be from people inquiring to becoming new clients. Someone should test this.

If you are working, do you necessarily want to be bothered?

maresca··on WriteNear

I haven't thought about it, honestly. I'm sure many use cases will come to light over time.

maresca··on Should an issued business method patent keep you from building your startup?

It is often easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

maresca··on Ask HN: Interbrowser Communication without going through Server

So far, I've found these links:

http://www.leggetter.co.uk/real-time-web-technologies-guide

But nothing without going through a central server.

Firefox also.

maresca··on Ask HN: Is there a list of websites and their subscription fees?

I'm doing some market research and was wondering if there was a list of websites and their subscription fees. I am trying to gauge average subscription fees in the startup world.

maresca··on Out of My Depth

The willingness to admit lack of knowledge separates the great from the good.

I will have some SFW/NSFW filters in very soon. There isn't a comments section (yet) on purpose.

maresca··on Copying is an act of love. Please copy and share

I think we're a couple decades to a century away from public perception allowing this.

maresca··on Ask HN: What mail host do you use?

Currently using Rackspace for my contact email. I plan on setting up an Amazon SES for sending.

Awesome, thanks! I appreciate it.

maresca··on Poll: What are your primary motivations for doing side projects?

I come up with ideas of things that should exist, but don't. Then my brain nags me with thoughts of that thing until I create it.

maresca··on Matt Mullenweg: I’m Worried That Silicon Valley Might Be Destroying the World

This is the reason I keep my phone on silent. Not even vibrate anymore, but silent. Keeping distractions under control has greatly improved my mental well-being.

maresca··on San Francisco team wins paper shredder puzzle prize

I did the first two puzzles. I skipped to the fourth when I saw different colored inks on a hunch that the names were in different colors. I wrote an algorithm to pick out the different colors, but got too burnt out to finish. I felt bad when I saw my hunch was right. Well done using the yellow dots, that was quite a novel approach. Congrats on your win.

maresca··on Internet voting: Exactly what the 99% needs

If you were to give everyone off from work for voting day on the contingency that they voted, most people still wouldn't vote.

Voting in the United States should be compulsory like it is in Australia.

A central location that would let people vote on bills would serve as a check on politicians votes.

As for the problem with not everyone having access to computers/smart phones, why not replace phone booths with electronic voting booths?

Has anyone used both this and raphaeljs? How do the two compare on features, browser compatibility, performance, etc?

maresca··on The coming death of open government

A huge point this article is missing is just how dangerous open data is to the government. Imagine having a central place where you could vote and discuss legislation. You'd be able to see just how much politicians vote in the best interests of their constituents. This would have a major effect on re-elections and the way politicians voted.

maresca··on Ask HN: Election coming up, any political projects?

https://openpoll.us - It's a platform for voting and discussions on legislation.

maresca··on Ask HN: Downvoting

Irony is dead.

maresca··on Ask HN: Downvoting

Downvoting is used often for dissenting views nowadays. Personally, I don't care that much if my comments are downvoted. This is just another forum on the internet. I'd rather voice my opinion and get downvoted than not voice my opinion at all.

That being said, I'd like to see the downvoting be removed.

Go ahead and downvote my comment.

maresca··on ORM is an anti-pattern

Is this guy talking about object relational mapping or object role modeling?

maresca··on It's official: developers get better with age. And scarcer.

While this is true, you also don't see many 45-year-olds doing 60 and 70 hour work weeks.
