Money is fairly tight, what is essential kit for someone starting their undergrad life? (UK, Mech Eng if it matters; a friend not me, I'm old as the hills; term starts in about 1 months time)

Is there a way that any providers use, a standardised way, to create a lot of new email accounts. I'm moving a few domains' email accounts from one supplier (Siteground, their recurring fees are huge) to another…

Should AIs own 'their' intellectual property? The UK government are currently having a Call For Views (CFV) [1] on the relationship between AI and IP (Intellectual Property) -- should AIs be allowed to own IP? A couple…

Google adsense sent me an email that looks just like a phishing email. It's all good barring a "Report.zip" attachment. No signature? Why are big internet companies still doing this? It's not as bad as the ones that…

Well I've discovered a moderator that I'd not seen before and that we now have collapsible threads. Is there anything else I've missed - is there a blog or changelog for HN?

Would it be possible - and useful - to tag stories in which the people who made the thing, are in the company, are named in the article, or what-have-you, are commenting. IMO those HN stories are often more interesting…

My father's Microsoft Windows 8 computer had the Windows 10 upgrade prompt as expected but when followed it said it wasn't possible to upgrade because his Nvidia graphics (GeForce 7025/ NVIDIA nForce 630a) was "unable…

If you call a company for remote tech support what would you expect to pay? (Or, what do you charge if you're on the support end of the call). --- Specific situation - my dad called me for tech support, I remotely…

Is HN for discussion? If it is then why are dissenting opinions, that are well made and not troll-like, down-voted. Moreover if down-votes are intended to indicate only dissent (as I've been informed), not indicate low…

HNsearch.com now redirects to an electronics shopping search. Presumably this was the goal when it was set up - to eventually use it for SEO by turning a massive bait-and-switch. Anyone got other examples of this…

For a time there were lots of number based captchas on ReCAPTCHA using sites - presumably for Google Maps - but now they all appear to be a random mixture of letters. I can not solve them. They're things like…

I've got a killer idea (!) and want to write my first app. What's the best way to do it. I'd like to optimise widest coverage for time spent initially. Which platforms should I target. It's to be a paid app for parents…

Social networks like HN are basically [usually benevolent] dictatorships. The users don't get to decide the direction or rules of the site. Then the question - are there democratic sites that let [force?] users [to]…

What software, or other methods, do you use to manage your client contacts and your sales leads. I find it difficult with to work effectively when we don't really have a holistic system for recording customer…

For me the site is sub-optimal without comment scores. Part of the usefulness of the site is in presenting what other people think about a particular topic and a quick way to ascertain that is to look at comment scores.…

We're getting a lot of submissions that seem to me as not especially focussed and more suited to a general purpose social site. I'm thinking that perhaps someone is submitting these as part of a "we submit your story"…

When a submission is upvoted by a suitable number of people, which could be weighted with a trust metric, HTTP addresses in the submission become proper clickable links. Currently someone comments the link after a…

The move from dialup rates of 28.8kbs to ADSL (broadband) rates of 2Mbps changed the internet experience markedly from being largely static to allowing streaming video. From mainly textual to a rich multimedia…
