Re:New Amazon S3 Storage Class – Glacier Deep Archive on Thursday March 28, 2019 @06:52AM (#19510951)
The transfer fee for 1TB seems about $5 dollars when stored in EU, Frankfurt, for bulk retrieval (24hrs). Standard retrieval is $24 dollars (12hrs). If you'd compress all your files into one of couple zip files you will pay a tiny amount for the requests.

For those who might not know everyone in the industry: why not?

Yes, someone already built that: hackerone.com (I worked there)
Looking at their vacancies, getting hired equals an unpaid position with 2-5% equity. Maybe the landlord and local supermarket accepts equity with a 4-year vesting scheme.
Awesome little tool. I like the idea of drag&drop snippets, but every list snippet has a fixed number of items. Why not one snippet with the ability to add/remove list items? Moreover you can't easily replace snippets without keeping the current information. Lots of copy/pasting involved.

Hi Sam. Do you have any regrets when it comes to certain companies you turned down? If so, can you give any examples?

Care to share your techniques/methods?
Re:Show HN: Hacker News iOS app on Tuesday October 28, 2014 @06:36AM (#8520264)
I'd love to see the points awarded, comments on each item and a separator between each item. I personally love the HackerNode app, although that design is a bit outdated (but still better).
What if you don't have five fingers to work with?
Re:Lookback.io - See how people really use your app on Monday November 25, 2013 @10:06AM (#6794352)
Does the user need to approve the recording of your face and screen? If not this could be a serious problem when someone with a mildly-nsfw app (but acceptable to app store) decides the record all the naughty stuff their users do and blackmail them.

Yes, it's working.
Re:Get Shit Done: The Worst Startup Culture on Monday November 04, 2013 @10:54AM (#6669235)
The assumption made in this article is that startups with the "get shit done" mantra only say to "get shit done" when you're not performing. I feel like the entire article is based on a bad assumption..

Disney has to take responsibility for the actions of their third parties and contractors.
Re:Twitter Bootstrap on Monday February 11, 2013 @10:08AM (#5201126)
A lot of people give Twitter Bootstrap crap because everyone is using the design and they get sick of seeing the design on every website. A lot of people miss the whole point of Twitter Bootstrap. It's a design guide, it's for people to quickly create a website. It doesn't mean it's finished after that.

I think people shouldn't blame Twitter Bootstrap, but the people that are using Twitter Bootstrap. They shouldn't stop with styling and design after Twitter Bootstrap is implemented. They should make the design their own.

Note: I'm one of those people. Sometimes I make a design with Twitter Bootstrap at it's core, and not change the styling of the input fields etcetera to make the design not look like Twitter Bootstrap. But that's MY fault, not the creators of Twitter Bootstrap.

Re:Designer News on Monday January 21, 2013 @11:09AM (#5092030)
Great initiative but I do have some feedback. The first thing I notice is that the top menu is unusable. I have no idea what the links do, I only can guess when seeing the icons. The smiley icon is the most confusing.

The second thing are the icons besides the posts. I guess the goal is to help users categorize posts, with the current number of categories it helps. But when all posts match a category you will could have, in theory, 20 categories. This won't help categorize, this will only help confuse people.

The third thing is the text. The lack of dots between the timestamp, username and count of points completely confuses me. When I read the entire line, I will think that Benjamin F. added 3 points 28 minutes ago to the link above. When in fact there are a total of 3 points added to the link above, the post submitter is Benjamin F. and the link was submitted 28 minutes ago. Placing two simple dots helps users not get confused.

I notice a lot of designers want to design something visually attractive but completely don't think about UX/UI. This is a perfect example.

Re:Ask HN : What do you do when you feel like a loser? on Friday December 28, 2012 @08:38AM (#4977618)
I tell my girlfriend how I feel. She always tells me she's proud and I'm not a loser. Sometimes you just need somebody to give you some reassurance.

So go and talk to somebody you love.
