Good to see the network growing!

Looking at US Cellular's coverage map (https://www.uscellular.com/coverage-map/coverage-indicator.h...), this news won't benefit the sf bay area, but help users in the northwest, northeast, and midwest.

What's the best way to capitalize on this assumption? USO?

Great post! I dream of a day when this will be a pull request on a government repo so that USPS could more easily adopt it. Imagine average citizens working together to solve problems that they face every day....

Cool! Good luck with your book - would be happy to read an advance copy when you have it. :-)

Neat! What if the treaty didn't stipulate that the "pilot" must pilot the craft - the purpose of the human was to ensure that the "human cost" of war remained at a reasonable level as to thwart senseless violence. Seems like an interesting exploration - who would the "pilots" be, and what (if anything) would they be expected to do while in the craft?

This makes zero sense. If the supposed problem is that people are being kicked out of their homes due to broken rent control laws, let's fix rent control laws. This tax is likely to punish more than just professional flippers, and even still, won't affect those businesses all that much.

I absolutely love the new branding & fluid logo. This is one of those gigantic branding leaps that makes everything that came before look instantly outdated. Nice work.

Really impressed by the build quality of those benches - they look great! Kudos to you!

And yet people are so scared of them! You're opening up an electrical switch box!?! Won't it explode or something?

Yes they do (this was news to me). For Transactions < $10:

1.5% + $0.01 for Amazon Payments balance transfers

2.0% + $0.05 for bank account debits

5.0% + $0.05 for credit card

They also appear to support payment aggregation, which is another method of making micropayments via credit card profitable.

All that effort to avoid simplifying the tax code so that the tax preparation industry can thrive.

Without wishing to belittle the privacy concerns of my fellow HNers, I wonder how long it will take for people to just be ok with being tracked in this way? This seems like one of those social changes that feels strange and uncomfortable at first, but over time becomes the accepted norm.

Won't this only benefit FiftyThree now that many more people are searching the App Store for "Paper"? Seems like a victimless crime.

I've been on the service for a few months and find it really helpful. I've sold a ton of unused gadgets through fobo that I was always too lazy to post on craigslist.

After purchasing Expandrive and then discovering that it isn't compatible with Amazon AWS's IAM credentialing due to a bug, I'm reticent to try yet another product from these guys. Their response when I reported the bug and asked when it would be fixed: "Not yet, sorry! About to release a new product, things are very hectic. We'll have it fixed soon though." That was October and I suppose this is the new product that was holding up the bug fix.

Wow, this takes me back. Hypercard was one of my first experiences with software development. It was really nostalgic exploring all the nooks an crannies of the OS that I explored so thoroughly in my youth.

Thank you

But do you know for sure that those people have public profiles? You are making quite an assumption by implying that this data is public.

I believe that exposing people's personal information without their knowledge or consent, however trivial or helpful as a means to an end, isn't the right thing to do.

You're right, it is a bit silly and it doesn't have to be made into a big deal. But it's also information they had no right to disclose, and furthermore is completely unnecessary. Why did they even need to put the person's name in the list? The owner certainly could write in with their name, and that could be used to identify the card easily.

Yes, my personal blog does expose quite a lot about me. In a way that's the intention of one's blog. However, I don't think copying my personal information here is appropriate.

Outside Lands actually tweeted out the link earlier, so it certainly wasn't a private site.

Actually, they are addressing the issues and am told will be re-posting the site shortly. By the way, I (as the author of the original post) am a huge proponent of hackathons and think your Lost and Found site is a brilliant hack. I just think the use of it could have been thought through a little more.

My apologies if my bringing it to the attention of the festival organizers caused you any grief - this was certainly not my intention (I had not known this was even a hack!)

Update: Outside Lands has taken the site down and will be fixing the issues. Apparently the information was added to the public site unintentionally.

Wouldn't using this app be illegal, at least in California?

Also convenient when we change our definition of "terrorist" and can reexamine the evidence with new eyes...

Yes, ours was used fraudulently the week before the breach was announced.

Great concept, but it's a bit ahead of it's time. We'll get there, but consumer-grade 3d printing is nowhere near unattended operation like this.

Stereolithography maybe, but additive 3d printing tech like the one shown in this video suffers from all sorts of issues requiring operator assistance - like the object unsticking from the build plate, and the head needing frequent cleaning. Unless this "vending machine" is manned, I doubt it could be useful/successful until technology improves.

Fun idea - unfortunately, at least in Chrome, the experience is broken. Buttons aren't linked up, only a few templates exist, etc.

Of all the relevant photos they could have headlined this article with, they choose this?

Google's phone service for business accounts is actually pretty good. I've heard they've been investing a lot in improving their customer service.

Spark have been excellent partners for us over the years at Sincerely. I'd highly recommend them.
