Re:Ask HN: What software do you use to take notes? on Monday April 10, 2017 @12:08PM (#14079691)
Personal notes in Evernote but increasingly taking team notes in Dropbox's Paper.

Seems like the way to solve this, without opening up market pricing for them. In theory, this would create a marketplace where supply outstrips demand.
Re:EMV Switch This Week Could Threaten Many Businesses in U.S on Thursday October 01, 2015 @11:41AM (#10311906)
I'm pretty sure the article has it completely backwards. If a retailer has a chip reading terminal, they aren't responsible for fraud. It incentivizes retailers to update their hardware, or face shouldering the fraud risk for chip enabled cards that they end up swiping.

surprised so few stopped. $60 for a canvas knockoff of banksy isnt a bad price, let alone an original.
Re:Create Cards via Email on Tuesday August 13, 2013 @02:59PM (#6207560)
Postmark is one I've used in the past that has an incoming mail API (in addition to outbound) that hits an endpoint you set with email data already processed for you, attachments included.
you'd be surprised how little you need to inflate these types of things to be comfortable. Often times you only fill it 60% or so so it has some give when you lay on it.

This is exactly why I love evernote. You can still set links between notes, and the search index across documents is amazing
we replaced Casper suite for Meraki's free MDM solution, has been amazing for us. Just recently started to test some of their AP's, and have been really impressed.
Re:Ask HN: Where do you keep your ideas? on Sunday October 28, 2012 @01:18AM (#4708222)
I keep an evernote notebook for ideas, and drop photos and various ideas into it over time. I revisit every few days to organize and cull the really bad ideas. The ones I keep returning to seem to bubble up to the top.

Somewhat offtopic - I really liked the digitized whiteboard looking drawings. Is that off a tablet, or a photographed whiteboard?
wasn't the C spectrum as part of this fine from the FCC based on 4g networks? IE how does this impact iPhone users?
Re:Google Fiber Plans & Pricing on Thursday July 26, 2012 @03:05PM (#4297953)
For me they charged the wrong card for my Nexus 7, and I wrote them to see about fixing that.

Exactly 10 days later I received an email about american express cards being declined, and that I should now be good to go.

Google is great, just not when it comes to human beings helping you.

I actually prefer the ads in certain instances. If a company is willing to pay per click, they probably have an offer that is compelling to me.

Re:Free 18GB Dropbox account now possible through referrals on Wednesday April 04, 2012 @11:39AM (#3798050)
Just recently did this for about $20 - I targeted dropbox OSX as my keyword to get only those downloading the software and it worked really well. Sitting at 24gb/mo free.
Re:How I built a Hacker News mobile web app on Sunday March 04, 2012 @10:04AM (#3662883)
The details are fantastic. Great work!
My understanding is free ones are not trusted/accepted by the browsers, hence to have something that isnt tossing errors at your users requires a small payment to a CA.

I've used positivessl from namecheap whenever I need certs, its something crazy cheap like $5

Any word on what operating system support? Would love to use this for an RFID system if it would support debian or something similar...

Re:Why the MBA 11 is now my sole computer on Friday September 30, 2011 @02:28PM (#3058063)
Agonized a bit and decided to run with a loaded 11".

Bought the new thunderbolt display to pair it up, so when I'm at home its amazing, but I can bring it everywhere with me and I don't feel like its too small to work.
