I've been trying to learn to code (I'm a designer) for a while now. I've read books, played around with making things and I'm now taking the JavaScript course on Codecademy. It taught me: var functionName = function() {…
The science is never done. I hate, HATE, hate when people treat science like we already have all of the answers. > and GMO foods have decisively been shown to have no health impact. No, the studies done thus far, with…
I'm not sure the point of this article. She didn't spend much time attacking specific myths. I see so many people these days running to defend these giant corporations and their processes from creating food as quickly…
(Haven't used this account in a while, not sure if it's shadowbanned. Hope you can see this.) No matter what you think of Apple, or Google, and their respective ecosystems, I'm curious what people think of Samsungs…
My son is extremely allergic to wheat and milk. We have to carry an epi-pen with us everywhere. He swells up, including his face and throat, when he comes in contact with these allergens. It's cost us thousands of…
I don't see how news like this really belongs on Hacker News. Perhaps reddit or slashdot. It's really just circlejerking for Android fans and Apple haters. It provides no new or useful information that would be of use…
Dan Pallotta wrote an article titled "When My Business Failed". It included a quote that explains the Apple/Android war perfectly: > I've learned that the adage about innovation is true — that at first, people say…
I guess I'll be the voice of opposition here. Unlike a lot of you, I live in Georgia and own guns. My family, friends and co-workers also own guns. I currently only own a small 9mm handgun. I'm licensed to carry it…

I've tried a few. Nothing too exciting. The 3rd party software kind of ruins the Android experience. Google can't do too much about that. I was far more impressed with the Windows Phone actually. I also liked webOS and…
My point was if we're supposed to root for a winner (which is stupid), it hardly seems impressive to use an article like this as your argument. The reason so many care about these numbers is they want to use them to say…
You're right, I am an Apple fan. OS X has done amazing things for my productivity since I switched and I've done a tremendous amount of "creating" on the device people say is only for consumption (the iPad.) When my…
So, the iPhone is almost even in sales with the entire Android ecosystem consisting of thousands of models, many of them cheap or free to consumers. Am I supposed to be impressed?
Time to turn off the talk radio, buddy. People can't get jobs that don't exist. The people on unemployment, disability or other government benefits didn't conspire to ruin the economy. They're just trying to feed their…
I know I'll get a lot of shit for this but good riddance. I hope it never comes back. I've felt this way since I found my stolen accounts posted on Pastie and they ignored requests to take it down.
No topic has made me more disappointed in the Hacker News community than this one. It's frustrating to see my livelihood attacked by the very people I try to help every day. It's not the "big agencies" that spec work…
This thread is the perfect example of why I don't participate on HN as much as I do other communities. HN has great articles but the FOSS extremists run the comments. 1. Repeated articles proclaim: Android overtakes the…

I see no evidence to suggest Apple is trying to kill Flash. It looks like a bug. Due to performance issues, security issues (on a closed platform), battery life issues and finally, issues of building a strong and stable…
For those that didn't read the Ars review: Apple has done major security updates in Lion, including the use of sandboxing. I suspect the OS isn't giving Flash permission to directly access the hardware. If true, Adobe…
I'm very surprised by the reaction here. I always viewed this community as open platform advocates. Windows 8, which seems to have a new touch UI layer and ARM support, is far more open than Windows Phone 7. My…
That was very difficult to read. It was more of a rant filled with rambling generizations than a coherant argument. And what an inflamatory headline. I've read it twice and I'm still not sure what he expects to…
Kids aren't for everyone. For that matter, neither are marriage, startups or traveling. The only difference with kids is there is no "undo" and you can't quit. If you don't want to live a selfless lifestyle, don't have…
