Exactly. When it comes to using the term "passionate" when it comes to coding, I think of the term as relative , not absolute . That is, compared to most of those around me when it comes t…

I also feel it's technically redundant -- like you said, they will follow up regardless -- but I think I do it to just give a more inviting tone/closing to the email. However, I also used to…

Is this the same as "Let me know if you have any questions."? I often end emails like this, more as an acknowledgement that while I feel that I am clear, it may not seem clear to you, and to…

If he were really that concerned about prison sentences, would he have done this to begin with? Not being snarky, that's a real question. I don't know the minds and rationale of hackers. I g…

My argument is, this attention wouldn't even be here had he just kept quiet. I don't think he was clever enough to have foresight that a) this would get this much attention, and b) he woul…

While I think the right thing of Twitter would be to give the account back, they didn't really do anything wrong (if the story is to be believed). Hiroshima simply changed the account name, and l…

> didn't have had ANY interest in explaining how he got to it, besides creating a hoax to confuse and divert attention. Would the story have gone viral, though, had he just said, "I…

Right, but even key fobs are no better than sending a token to your phone. If this was to really get adopted -- by both the issuer and the user -- it would have to be easy. A bluetooth device would be…

These sites/articles that try to solve authentication by getting rid of passwords seem to keep forgetting something -- you still need a password/authentication to something else. If I sign o…

Cool site. Wonder why they don't link to the actual Google Maps Street View image. (Some of these make me question their authenticity.)

Thanks for joining to share that! Do you have a family to support? That's a big factor in how much risk I can really take. If I was single, I don't think I would have any issues taking a bre…

I could have written your post. It actually sounded like me talking. I'm considering finding another day job that isn't quite so soul-sucking, but I've been trying to do that for the pa…

Not sure this would work for me. I'm not a morning person, so getting up at 5am would not leave my evening "wide open for relaxing". I would feel like my time is shortened (rushed?) due…

Delegate the areas that you can’t do or don’t want to do so that you can build and launch your side-project. One of the biggest bottlenecks (excuses?) keeping me from gaining traction on my project …

It's funny seeing the attention these vehicles draw coming out in some of the photos. This is especially true on dirt streets in the middle of residential areas. Walk this one back down the stree…

According to Wikipedia [1]: Areas not accessible by car, like pedestrian areas, narrow streets, alleys and ski resorts, are sometimes covered by Google Trikes (tricycles),[2] snowmobiles[3][4] or boa…

A bit off topic, but I don't frequent CNET much, and was pleasantly surprised to see Sumi Das in the video and as the author of the article. She was a correspondent on ZDTV/TechTV, which I w…

I used CarWoo a couple years ago to purchase my current car. Before I was introduced to CarWoo, I did my own "no-haggle" negotiating by contacting various dealers via email. I think I contac…

> We are focusing on 4TB drives for new pods. For these, our current favorite is the Seagate Desktop HDD.15 (ST4000DM000). We’ll have to keep an eye on them, though. Historically, Seagate drives h…

This a good point, thus the +1 from me. I know when I originally started frequenting HN, I felt enlightened, educated, and sometimes motivated by some of the posts I saw. Nowadays, I feel overwhelmed …
