As much as HN hates NFTs, they could really help solve this problem. Decentralized online digital ownership is a great use case.
Re:Dear Moon – Space crew applications open on Wednesday March 03, 2021 @12:50AM (#26325236)
Very cool initiative. I’ve never heard of Yusaku Maezawa before this as well.

I’m sure lots of folks here would be interested, but is anyone else here afraid of launch malfunctions like I am?

Re:Team changes at Trigger.io on Saturday December 14, 2013 @12:29AM (#6904757)
As a customer the initial reaction was "oh shit" since we had just made a big switch to Trigger a few months ago.

However, having met Amir recently, I'm fully confident that he's made the right choices here, and that he has left the development of the company in good hands.

They've built a solid product, and my gut feeling is that things will only get better.

I'm getting an error page whenever I try to log in with my google apps email. Would really like to try the product :/
Re:Svbtle Funding on Tuesday January 08, 2013 @01:47PM (#5027680)
I think there is quite a bit of animosity and maybe even jealousy in the HN circle regarding Svbtle because of the apparently pretentious manner that Dustin Curtis launched and promoted it. However, it seems what he did is working out for him in the long run. Svbtle has also adjusted its message significantly since the launch to be more friendly.

Personally I would like to learn more about how Dustin used the situation to his advantage, even leading to funding.

Re:Bootup.js - cache and load static files from local storage on Friday November 02, 2012 @12:40PM (#4733459)
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this what the browser cache is for?
Re:Co-founder Memorandum of Understanding on Wednesday October 31, 2012 @04:48PM (#4724858)
I think it's a very good idea to have something like this in place before you start pouring your soul into a project. That said, I would recommend that any potential co-founders go and consult a lawyer instead of purchasing a template, since your particular situation may differ and a template might not cover all the bases or hold up in court.
Re:Google’s most advanced voice search has arrived on iOS on Tuesday October 30, 2012 @03:15PM (#4718987)
It's so, so fast, but seems to have trouble with accuracy, at least when I've tried speaking to it. It almost seems to decide on what I've said earlier in my sentence before I finish my sentence, which I'm guessing is lower accuracy compared to waiting for me to finish talking before analyzing.
Re:Backbone and Cloudant on Wednesday October 03, 2012 @07:32PM (#4610154)
Very cool, considering I've used Cloudant extensively with a Node server and backbone in the past. It's nice to see something that can talk directly with the DB. Though, could someone explain how I would implement permissions and security using this direct-to-Cloudant approach?
Re:Pricing is hard. We need your help. on Tuesday September 25, 2012 @04:00PM (#4572349)
It would be nice to have an explanation of what Keen.io does in the article. Actually, even after browsing your site I still don't have any idea what you guys do, besides collect data and visualize it. There also doesn't seem to be any indication of -how- you guys do visualization. It's hard for me to think about pricing for your service when I have no idea what you offer.
Re:STL Hackathon Canceled After Social Backlash on Sunday August 19, 2012 @05:42PM (#4405331)
I can understand, however, did you know that Svbtle is 'inspired' from http://drawar.com/ ?
Re:STL Hackathon Canceled After Social Backlash on Sunday August 19, 2012 @03:14AM (#4403469)
Just curious, why does this bother you?

Re:MixPanel tracking API down on Tuesday July 31, 2012 @04:05PM (#4319321)
Gotcha, I'm going to have to try this, thanks for the insight!
Re:MixPanel tracking API down on Tuesday July 31, 2012 @02:13PM (#4318785)
Really neat! I might be a newbie to this, but how do you get those client-side javascript function calls over to the serverside? I am assuming the client's browser is running the Mixpanel Javascript and that your events are serverside.
Re:MixPanel tracking API down on Tuesday July 31, 2012 @02:11PM (#4318773)
There are plenty of sane reasons, DDOS included (which seems like what happened here), since our digital world is built on physical systems that have limitations and suffer from external influences that can't be contained.
Re:MixPanel tracking API down on Tuesday July 31, 2012 @01:52PM (#4318666)
This is a great idea! Do you mind letting us know what your setup's like?
It might be pulling data from the PSD such as names of layers and comments
I wish I didn't have to pay for another app to uninstall other apps :/
Re:It's Playtime - Light Table Playground released on Monday June 25, 2012 @12:43PM (#4157302)
I find this to be a very efficient way to learn clojure :)
The earlier Heroku outage also brought down custom error pages. Our site was only displaying a 500 server error via nginx.

Wow, this has the best paper-flipping ui I've ever seen, kudos!
Is it even possible to build a search engine without external influences..?
Re:Show HN: Commandlinefu.com from the commmandline on Tuesday March 13, 2012 @04:08PM (#3700143)
Very cool. I would love to see some verification. If you're using one of the commands from commandlinefu, you probably didn't know about it beforehand, and who knows what it could do.

edit: Commandlinefu.com -does- have a point system that could help determine valididy, it would be great if the points could be retrieved by Fu, and if you could rate up and down within Fu. Still, doesn't help if a code is ranked 0.

Yammer isn't a ICQ/AIM clone, if anything it's a Facebook clone for businesses.
Re:How to Hustle SXSW for Fun & Profit on Tuesday February 28, 2012 @10:33PM (#3646290)
I like the way you write. It's straightforward and cuts the crap. I kinda wish there was more articles like this.
