News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I think differentiating the pro and max is a big part of it, but it also seems like they're trying to spread out the benefits of the switch to 3nm over time. I would expect performance cores and bandwidth to go back up next year to maintain steady performance increases year over year.
This has been a recent phenomenon, that as of yesterday started gaining public acknowledgment.

What was supposed to be a quick first iPhone project, turned into many months of hard work. So tired, happy, and relieved to have this out in the public.

Thank you for agreeing with my original comment. night!

I'm not defending the DMCA. Did I mention it? I pointed out that DM copied other works I saw previously on dribbble. Adding information to the discussion, that spawned more threads.

"What exactly is the point you're trying to make?"

The links are in the original comment. Isn't that what we've been talking about?

Layervault didn't design that clock. There is no logic, just the definition. You should look up "common knowledge" and "public domain."

If you recall apple is paying $21m to license the Swiss Railway clock design.

Yes I didn't say they were in copyright violation.

Here is the definition of copy.. "A thing made to be similar or identical to another."

The worked linked to was not original. It is similar and identical to other designers work.

False analogy. Comparing design work to carbohydrates is a thin argument.

Here is the definition of copy.. "A thing made to be similar or identical to another."

The worked linked to was not original. It is similar and identical to other designers work.

I am not affiliated with layervault, none of the work linked is mine.

Here are a thousand other ways to design a clock. http://dribbble.com/search?q=clock+icon

Here are the icons in question. http://i.imgur.com/xDDULcG.png

Also, the Flat-UI guy also copied other artists on dribbble. http://cl.ly/image/3Q181w0b1u2K

From http://drbl.in/eXkk, and http://drbl.in/gmsD

I'm not saying these are in copyright violation, merely examples he has copied prior work.

Thank you for bringing this up. It's often looked over from those not experienced with mental illness. A close relative has been affected by mental issues and is too paranoid to get help from it. She's still well enough to talk to me and remember who I am, but is so far in another reality that there is nothing you can do to help. It's a terrible illness and for a lot of people it's all downhill.

Wow brilliant!
Re:Tim Cook's Freshman Year on Friday December 07, 2012 @09:34AM (#4887015)
I've always read at the center of the page while scrolling. It's what I've noticed most everyone my age doing. Maybe it's generational, I've only been at this since windows ME.
Re:Tim Cook's Freshman Year on Thursday December 06, 2012 @05:06PM (#4884087)
Why are you using page down? No scroll wheel, old habits, on a laptop?

Its something I've never used and have never thought about while designing, seems like a lot of websites are ignoring it as well; fb, techcrunch etc.

I believe it is a continuation of the joke. Mimicking the look of w3c standards. It's also interesting to point out they are using google analytics

No. they shouldn't have IPO'd, their products are mind draining, they shouldn't even be a company. This whole thing is a big mess.

It's in tune with most of the other startup blogs that hit the front page. HN is a great place for entrepreneurs to lobby for their co's.

Ugh the site blows on mobile. It loaded an article about a Greek journalist instead. Why can't people be happy with a regular website.
Serious. Looks like they went for the hot new app look which doesn't makes sense if you're just consuming content.
Re:Show HN: We open sourced Lockitron's crowdfunding app on Thursday October 11, 2012 @11:05PM (#4643699)
You're right about the new policy.

A Better example would have been.. http://gofundme.com/

Noble projects but the company isn't as successful with general crowdfunding vs kickstarters creative market.

Re:Show HN: We open sourced Lockitron's crowdfunding app on Thursday October 11, 2012 @08:19PM (#4643401)
I think they thought this through. They probably realized they couldn't own all of crowd funding. Wouldn't it be weird seeing a "Fund my new convenience store" on kickstarter. Instead they do own creative projects, which is brilliant because that's where innovation happens.

What if he did have a big launch, with an app for android and a web version? What if it was a big failure and he lost more money than he made? Would that have made sense? This is a new product that he is testing the waters with. He chose the quickest and most effective way of doing this.
Has anyone had success using Dwolla? I love what they are doing and I tried to get behind them, but adoption rate is nil. If the sign up process was less of a pain I would feel better getting clients on board. It seems like they are just winning tiny battles like this just to stay in the press.

They don't actually know where it is, they're just quoting NASA to jump on the page views.

I haven't noticed any big changes the last five years I've been using it. Other than the whole google facelift its been the best finance tool I've used. Maybe I haven't noticed any new features but what would you be talking about?
