What we've learned today: Most commenters on Hacker News don't know what freedom of speech is. They also don't understand, or maybe don't care, about the responsibility of society to protect minority groups. They also…
These open movies are great technical demos for Blender but I haven't been impressed with the writing. The stories have been flat, emotionless, poorly paced and lacking in any kind of mass appeal. I'd love to see…
If enough large games were released for OS X, even as a port, Apple may put a little more effort in. And yes, the graphics cards are weak (mine is an Intel HD 4000.) But look at the Mac Pro. They invested a ton on…
That's great news but I'd love some Mac support too.
This is just an ad for scoutzie. I've never heard of them and I'm sure the "top designers from around the world" haven't either.
I really don't trust Amazon having a monopoly on any market especially one I care about as much as books. While they still have competition, things seem to be going in their favor. Even more so after the justice…
I really like Brackets. And it's got some great plugins already. I've set mine up with a visual git sidebar, markdown preview, themes and a mini-map like Sublime Text has.
Really? I haven't used Basecamp in years (I work alone most of the time) but last time I did it seemed well thought out and stable. I have read "Getting Real" and have seen a number of their articles they've posted on…
That's not funny or educational or even interesting. It looks like jealousy or unfounded hate. I can't really think of anything 37signals has done to warrant this. They make good products and treat both their employees…
I like the design language Microsoft came up with for Windows Phone. So I bought a Nokia Lumia phone. I quickly regretted it. This was before Windows Phone 8 was released but we were promised "many of the features" with…
Concrete-jungle.org is just awesome. Just saw it on your profile. Really cool idea.
As a designer living and working in Atlanta I often forget how much engineering talent we have locally. I've been to the Georgia Tech campus for a few events and was impressed with many of the students (and former…
Short for "modern"?
I doubt somebody that gets upset about a small company protecting their idea with a patent (that he hasn't even seen) would actually buy software from them anyway. His example ("prior art") wasn't remotely relevant. So…
I'm confused, are you implying it's not okay for these criminals to be brought to justice, in accordance with various international laws, when their parent state acts belligerent and refuses to cooperate? These people…
I'm glad all of these threads happened. Now I know that Coinbase isn't a reputable company and I should never trust them with my money. All of these posts show the truth, even when YC posts things like this:…
> instead of seemingly believing that every feature Apple has ever added was brought down on chiseled stone tablets received on Mount Sinai :) My impression of Apple has changed dramatically in the past few years. I…
Isn't this just them trying to monetize online classes? I've read a few other articles that covered this topic and it seemed he was pivoting away from "education should be free" to wanting paid offerings. I know he has,…
I wish you well. Do whatever it takes to keep your family comfortable, regroup and get ready to fight again. In todays economy, we're all entrepreneurs. You don't get to keep a job your entire life like some of our…
I really don't know. I don't use a lot of Google services.
Could someone here please explain why this isn't copyright infringement? Aren't they taking other peoples work without permission, scanning it and making it publicly available? Also, presumably all of this works draws…

> I'm looking for a hacker (ideally a unix hacker) who happens to have some design skills. I hope you find somebody that loves your product to do the logo and don't have to fall back on the contest. Good luck.
I've wrote about this a few times on HN before. You guys like to downvote me every time I do but here we go again ... Good designers, the ones you want if this is important to you, don't do contests. We have families to…
