College roommate. We named our two-man agency after our old college apartment.
They archive chat messages so that you can search through them later.
Some money would be saved by eliminating the current welfare system and replacing it with UBI.

I saw this article [1] and it seems like something I should do? I show up in a lot of those directories if you search my name. I've heard people say that doing this only "validates" that my info is real to those sites. I've heard the same thing about unsubscribe links in emails, that clicking them only confirms with the spammer that you are a real person.Is there any evidence to these types of...

I'm in the process of moving away from my gmail account and would like a personal domain for my email and website. I already own firstnamelastname.com, the problem is that my first and last name together are really long and I'd like something shorter, for email especially (i.e. [email protected]). I'm thinking of getting lastname.co since lastname.com is taken and the guy won't give it up (funny...
Everybody has a price. It is hard to take a promise like this seriously this early. Hopefully I am proven wrong.
How do they know what specific items were purchased? Is there any way for a consumer to see their own data on that? Also, seems like there would be a lot of false positives as I don't consume or use everything I buy with my card.
How'd you manage to get that domain name? Did you have to buy it off someone else?
This has worked for me too. I take a 45 min nap everyday after lunch. It helps split the day up into two parts where I am fully refreshed for both. Some of my friends find it odd that a grown man takes a nap during the day but it works great for me.
I like the update, looks a lot better. It is the small details that keep me using Chrome's dev tools. For instance,
- why can't I drag and drop DOM elements in the inspector?
- Chrome's autocomplete seems smarter. If I go to edit a style and I type `li` Chrome gives me line-height, FF gives me lighting-color?
- I prefer the color highlight when you hover over DOM elements in the inspector, I can see the box model in Chrome but just a dotted outline in FF.
FF's tools do seem to get better and more robust with each update though.
Startups don't last long so it'd be pretty fitting for a show about them to only last a season or two.
Holding and speculating is a valid use case for BTC. Many people see it as an investment and don't use it as a currency so it's not absolutely false.
If you are going to use coinmarketcap, at least filter out the non-mineable coins, Dogecoin is in the top 4.
Yeah, the 24 hour rule seems a bit excessive. I see a lot of Show HN posts where the OP will respond to questions that users have about the particular thing they are showing off. The OP now needs to hope that a 1000+ user is continually monitoring their post in order for them to quickly answer any questions others may have.
The posting delay sounds like a terrible idea. Say I spend some time writing a very long comment to a not so popular thread and hit submit. Then I notice that someone replied to another comment of mine and had a question or something. I can't reply to him in a timely matter since I used my one comment already. So do I need to go and delete my newest comment, reply to the person who responded to me, then go back and re-comment the one I initially did? This sounds very silly.
Agreed. This will only work to increase the echo chamber that is HN. Any type of debate will now need to go through the HN elite. I really didn't have a problem with the current system, any obvious troll comments were always downvoted out of sight. I rather see any unapproved comment and make up my own mind on its "worthiness" instead of someone else.
Society? People have always wanted to know who Nakamoto was in real life and would consider creating Bitcoin something of note. Any news story about Bitcoin in the past couple years have included something about the mystique of Nakamoto.
Reminds me of the tea party protesters that had signs like: "Keep your government hands off my medicare!" at Obamacare rallies.
I would love to see MtGox given a bailout. So many heads would explode.
Marketing. If you want people to use your tool, they need to know about it. Gulp has a website, a Twitter account, people writing about it, etc...
I don't see how having a Bitcoin wallet app makes them unsafe. There are plenty of non-mainstream apps in the store as well.
We managed dozens of clients at a time and one of the biggest compliments we get is on how easy it is to use Basecamp. Really looking forward to the new ideas they have in store.
If you are using HTML tables for layout then you definitely aren't using the right tool for the job. If it isn't tabular information then it doesn't belong in a table.
Maybe they should put the date at the bottom? So you still see it, just after you've read it?
This would be cool. I wonder if you could easily hook in the Github diff. Though that would require a static blog version controlled in Github. And it wouldn't be too visually appealing.
People were saying the same thing about Bitcoin a year ago.
