Ultimately companies (the shares) are owned by persons and managed by persons. This is very fundamental to our (Western ?) system. Its nearly impossible to start a company or have a bank account witho…

I think the legal consequences would by far surpass any of the more practical aspects mentioned here ? Something of value NOT owned (ultimately) by a person of a government ? What if there is a flaw i…

Interesting they need HN to get actual help from a company like Stripe. It happened here before with other new, high profile companies. For some time already I am surprised how many of those billion d…

Add a capable person to your team who's sole task it is to find investors for the visioned expansion. Its a full time job, especially with such 'raw product'. A person to work out the n…

I think it is the same ? Some people think a spork sounds less offensive (more friendly) then a fork ? Also as a utensil (which these are both).

Seems not very legal... I am sure this is illegal in Europe. There are strict rules for how much one can use from another website (limited number of words plus max size one image). Google News complie…

How about adding a simple test to check if my router is vulnerable, instead of all the text ? Their website has a special security check section but that link is (conveniently ?) broken...

And discussed also about a year ago... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6970350

My personal problem with HN is all the different links with titles that half of the time do not really cover the contents. So I spend to much time opening links and wait valuable ;-) seconds just to d…

> Localizing your app's metadata (keywords, description and screenshots) is the easiest way to increase your downloads, and should be done as soon as you have optimised your keywords. David Ja…

Exactly the same as hotels ? Te me it seems somehow a standard hotel room anywhere in the world costs about USD 150-200 per night. Odd, because the costs of living varies a lot more.
So it might be mo…

Satire. Yes, in an extremely sad way. Because I cannot think of something that technology made possible and yet was not implemented. In one way or another, legal or illegally. So somehow I assume only…

War is not a game, no. But a lot of very successful games are doing just that ? I never play games (only table top ;-) but I am amazed how much money goes around in gaming. And surely this is a joke: …

Does not work in Firefox 32.0.3 on OSX Yosimite. Otherwise its interesting to see (in Chrome) that by far most transactions are in the US, with just a few in Northern Europe. The rest of the world not…

'The Bright App Builder for the Enterprise' 'Enterprise' and absolutely no indication of costs, so it must be really expensive. So the 'You' in 'Yes You Can' is…

The concept is already three year old and needed further development. Seems that did not happen. http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/09/29/the-art-of-solar-print...

Great article !

To me basically the question is: should the money be spend by private persons and corporations, or by governments. There should be a balance, but there is a long term tendency towards governments. Bec…

Works well for me too. And networking is the main reason I work 2 days a week at a co-worker space. I might even visit a another one once in a while to get a feeling for that place (and people !).
comment
Maybe add an option to filter on languages ? As a Go user I am just mildly interested in libs for js (as example). But I would be interested in passing some time flipping through the most active Go pr…

Did you know of goquery (github.com/PuerkitoBio/goquery) ?

You could sell this in a prepaid kind of way ? 30 webpages for USD 1 or something. So I would first have to buy credit and then each requested page is deducted from my credit. Assuming the user has to…

The main difference are the costs. WinLink is free but is only accessible with a Amateur Radio license.

One market you might not have considered: sailors. Out there on the water its very slow and expensive to be online. Any cuttings in data transfer have a huge return in less costs and faster replies. T…

Cool demo ;-)
Tried to bounce the head off screen but that worked out differently...

Simple and effective offering. I like the simple signup. Perfect !

So this is an ad for a online onemonth.com course... And it seems really YC backed: http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/05/yc-backed-one-month-rails-t... …

Yes, imagine all those people using Firefox instead of Chrome ;-)

Only in the US Store - funny, because its domain is European ?
