I'm using HackerNode for the iPhone, seems to be working.

Though I dislike the comment tiering (non-indentation / hard to track).

Any suggestions for iPhone?

On Android, Hacker News 2 has been wonkey with loading comments, but I love the comment layout.

Thanks! I'm the designer of the app. We'd love to hear any feedback you have, and we're taking everything people say on board for future releases. desk@brushedtype.co for any feedback or support!
That's not what the upvote function is for, idiot.
I wish that I had the karma to downvote you for relevance.

Like you said, "If you post some idiotic comment, and 1,000 people agree with you, that's quite a powerful feedback loop."
Two Techniques to Use Cognitive Dissonance to Boost Productivity
The reality TV show model is so profitable because they get free actors. It seems a bit much to expect those actors to pay to provide free content.
I did. The question was 'when did everyone become so entitled to getting something for reporting a bug' to which I provided a valid (or at least humorous) possible answer, i.e. since Knuth's reward checks became a status symbol.
It's a good exercise, but it's not something I would use as my starting point for car research.

- The landing page feels unfinished because most of the page is filled with greyed out icons.

- Once you pick the type of vehicle (cars), you have to navigate through 9 pages of car models. I know that there's a search bar, but it's not what users will see first. Why am I being given an alphabetic listing of cars? You may want to allow users to drill down further by car types, make the search more prominent, and if you have to provide a list of cars, order them by what you think the user will be likely to look at, instead of an alphabetic listing. At the very least, group them by manufacturer.

- Once you pick a car, the information is very sparse. Some pictures, some info about mileage, cost, and then an affiliate link to Edmunds.

The amount of information you get about a car after all that trouble is not even close to what car buyers are looking for. In the end, the only way to do research is to follow the link to Edmunds, so this entire website feels like a way to get affiliate revenue. If you are serious about the website, you may want to provide enough value of your own (Edmunds already makes it fairly easy to browse to the car you want, so that's not a differentiator)
Hey Hacker News, developer of the app here.

Thanks for the awesome response! The most requested feature is comments by far, totally understand it. Comments are a planned feature, and we intend to implement them as soon as we can. For now though the app is focused deeply on saving posts and links, so Hack Later still might be worth checking out, if you haven't already.

Also, promo codes are fun.

A shameless plug, but my app is brand new, free, and shows comments legibly. But the #1 feature: background refresh.

It uses new APIs in iOS 7 to preload the front page before you open it.

I spent 90 days learning (and implementing) how to get ideas for my next product by calling business owners in my target market and asking what they need to help their business. I now have owners waiting with money-in-hand for me to solve their problems. I'm spending the next 90 days pre-selling and getting the actual product wireframed for demos, then built, then scaling marketing while I sell sell sell...

TL;DR - pick something you want to do and immerse yourself in this. Every day take action. Learn only what you need to advance yourself forward right now.
Markup is the way to go, look at classes of buttons, divs and spans. Look for -lg or spans and stuff like that.

Insecure much?
I realize there's not a perfect solution. But in this case, the imperfect solution isn't even helpful. The events they can predict reliably are things already obvious to most people. And the events they can't predict are usually the ones that carry the most impact. What's worse, they give us a false sense of security, letting our guard down because we think we have the answers.

There is a better solution: Accept that most people don't know anything, and reasonably prepare for any disaster looming in the future.
Pretty large if you count mobile devices.
In response to your comment and the parent comment, from someone in InfoSec: security can never be completed in the way a product can be. It's an ongoing war, and sometimes your opponent gets the upper hand for a while. The problem with being the "good guys" in security is that you have to make sure every hole is closed while still letting the business run. It's easier to be the bad guy, because you just have to find one thing the security team missed.

Security doesn't exist without the business and the business doesn't exist without security, but the business tends to trump security for the sake of features and convenience. It's a very delicate see-saw, and all you can really do is trying to run back and forth from side to side hoping that the other end doesn't hit the ground before you can get over there again.

Attitudes like yours don't help a damn thing.

Hoon's Moronic Type System
Haven't tried Mavericks beta. Is there a management interface for saved passwords or is it just the plain old Keychain Access utility?

All this "iCloud Keychain" hype looks like just a sync functionality on top of current implementation.
I took almost 40 minutes, am I in the wrong profession? I figured out how to do all of them right away but I got stuck on figuring out JS syntax in a few places since I barely ever use it and felt like googling was cheating. I did use google on the last one to see how to check if something's an array. I even ended up checking at one point if something's a number by (!isNaN(n/4) && n+n == 2*n), and checked for being a string or not with if(s.length!=undefined) (I know that returns true for an array as well). Would've been a lot easier with something like Intellisense - coding without it feels almost like I'm blind, after being used to it. That and I thought alert() didn't work until I noticed at the end it actually sent it to the output.
Hey, developer of the app here.

I tried out your app, looks awesome — congrats! Background refresh and comments are planned for Hack Later. Feature request for Pivit : I'd love if the web view had some controls (back, forward, refresh etc.) and the comments had some contrast, it's really hard to focus to a thread.

And yes, this is a shameless plug.

The app will not preload every time new items come in. This is a common misconception about iOS 7. iOS 7 schedules these apps to run very infrequently to save battery. Some times it will take many hours to do a background refresh.

Question for 'business guys' here -
How would you learn sales, or business, in 180 days?
I've been using 1Password for years, and until I saw the picture of everyone in their t-shirts, I had no idea that CMD-\ was the hotkey for the password menu.

Still waiting for seamless Linux integration though. It's one of my killer apps that keeps me on OS X, connecting via ssh to headless Linux machines or VMs, as opposed to using the Linux desktop. And yes, I realize that there are other password managers out there for Linux. The point is that I already have my passwords and many notes in 1Password, and anything I switch to would have to sync with OS X and iOS.

What tools are used to make the main prismic.io page?

I've been seeing tons of new-ish sites with the scroll down structure where it's like there are multiple viewing frames stacked vertically. Is this because everyone is using the same toolset/template?
It might not be a "broad foundation" but I think it is a "broad foundation to jump off of".

The foundation I jumped off of was being able to edit numbers in GORILLAS.BAS to change the size of the explosions.
nah. those will cost same/more than the already established beagle boards.

arduino will still be the popular cheap diy go to board. this is for projects that were impossible with the current one. so not making the original more complex, but tapping other markets
I've been a pretty hardcore PHP guy for 3 years now, and know exactly how long it would have taken me to do all of this: probably 200 days on my own.

My biggest issue is stuff like this. Take a look at the JS from day 1-8, then look at day 9.

Day 8: http://jenniferdewalt.com/more_drop_shadow.html

Day 9: http://jenniferdewalt.com/bouncing_ball.html

That's a pretty massive jump in coding proficiency in a delta of one day.

This has nothing to do with marginalizing skill, it just seems like there was some outside help here, and that should probably be credited.

edit: I see a lot of different indent patterns on the JS as well. That kind of points me towards n different coders with at least two different text editor configs, or a good deal of copy->paste from SO.
I use 1Password so extensively that the money I paid for it always seemed well spent, if not cheap.

1Password 4 is a big leap for me in terms of usability (vs. v.3): the mini application can be quickly accessed via a key chord, similarly to what you can do within a browser. Very helpful for things like VPN access, encrypted HDs, and other non-web softwares.

The security audit is a great feature too: it can tell you where you are using weak passwords, or even repeated passwords. If you have used the same password on many sites, and one of those sites is compromised, you might want to change that password elsewhere, or better, make sure you use a unique strong password everywhere; so knowing what sites could be compromised is a huge help.

If you want to feel safe in the web, 1Password's high usability and new features will help you get there.
Thanks, but I don't need you to explain the theory behind prediction markets to me. I agree that by forcing people to put money behind their predictions, they will be less subject to bias. But even without those biases, we're really bad at predicting the future. I suppose prediction markets might make accurate short term predictions for events which we already know a lot about. But the events that make the most impact in business, politics, and technology are inherently unpredictable. So I can't see the benefit behind prediction markets.

Furthermore: Nothing changes the fact that it's still gambling. You aren't providing liquidity. You're not funding a business venture. You're just betting on the likelihood of something happening. It's still gambling, and you might as well bet on horses. A great choice if you've got money to lose, but don't care for horses much.

I have a friend who talks about the flywheel model of learning. If, every day, you spend even 15 minutes towards your goal of what have you (aka, add even a little momentum to your flywheel), at the end of a year, you will have a lot of knowledge.
It's like being a paper tape Turing machine. Technically, you can do anything in the world. In reality, you're limited by how efficiently you, as an individual, can run back and forth writing zeros and ones.

Being a single founder isn't like building up a muscle that'll make you bigger, faster, stronger—there are world-level parallelism problems you can't accomplish alone (work and fundraise, work and promote, sleep and work).

Perhaps a better title is "single bootstrap'r." All you really need is to build something other people find interesting to get attention to attract validation to pull in other people who share your vision (who, since they are starting right after you, become defacto founders).

The single founder problem is more "Will you accept someone who is capable but hasn't found any smart friends yet?" and less "I can build a $50 million company all by myself. Just give me $100k. Please?"
To clarify, I was long past the COBRA period, out of work for quite a long time by the time I applied for individual coverage.

Is the Operation Engineer job available as a remote position within Europe?
There's no evidence of that. This theory just comes from the Bitcoin community's desire to make DPR into a martyr. Its not as if he was particularly sophisticated in covering his tracks in the first place (a lot of the things he did were facepalm worthy). Occam's razor -- he meant to take out a hit, and was just stupid.
Or it may not even refresh at all. From the docs, it seems like it's a pretty intelligent API that optimises itself with usage.
Also, do people try to influence the outcome itself? For example, couldn't you ask: "When will X person die." And then someone could bet a huge amount of money on it, and then go kill that person?

Public safety to me means guaranteed housing, education, healthcare, and sustenance.

Arguably stretching "safety" I would also include prevention of the concentration of power (i.e. wealth) and exploitation by capitalists (i.e. those significant portion of the real assets of the world).

Everyone wants public safety, even Anarchists. It is a nothing statement. Beliefs vary in how to achieve it. Most libertarians* would want public safety to be outsourced to private sector so it supposedly would be ruled by a free market.

*To be clear, I refer to the people (mostly from USA) who call them selves libertarians. Whose beliefs have only superficial similarity with historically Libertarianism.
You can sync your passwords across multiple devices using DropBox. It will work with IE, FireFox, Chrome and Safari.

It will also allow you to share passwords (via Dropbox) between Macs and Windows machines. It can generate strong passwords as well.
Windows and Android functionality. I use a Windows computer for some limited amount of things, and it's invaluable for me. Also, if you use Dropbox syncing, the Dropbox folder has some javascript magic that makes it work as a web app (decryption happens client-side).

On the other hand, the new keychain access will have direct Mobile Safari integration.

I can see how this might be useful for some people. Personally, I have my savings account on line and they allow me to just make any number of "sub accounts" that I want. So I have used that before to create sub-accounts to save for specific things. I then set up automatic transfers from my checking to that savings account. The most successful one was a "new car" fund. Once my old car was paid off, I continued to make the same payment amount to the "new car" fund. It helped me maintain my habit of making a car payment while helping me save for the down payment. Worked like a charm.
Also, instead of Patent trolls there would be (even more) lawsuit trolls.

I think it's an okay way to start to learn to program. It will likely get you to a point where you are ready to really learn, especially if you approach it with curiosity, determination, and the willingness to experiment.
Despite the fact that raids were continuously happening, local governments were enacting bans (meaning immediate financial ruin) and certain dispensary owners were facing decades in prison...I'm not sure what the legality of the situation has to do with either of our points. The size and scope of alternatives is directly related to the success of the primary institution. The users will certainly not be happy about the situation, but barring major developments in the coming weeks, it is clear that operators and users have decided the risks are acceptable comparable to the service. Pointing to the landscape of alternative services at the present moment does not indicate how users will migrate and how site owners will propagate in the face of opportunity. The California industry is comparable as operators, while facing smaller penal punishment, faced the same financial risk and zero anonymity.
Good point and that is probably the reason for releasing 1Password 4 now. I have paid for 1Password for too many times and I'm jumping off the wagon now.

Why is this better than setting up an alarm?
I see there is no information about cost. Are there any plans to charge, and if so what would you charge?

Maybe a $25-$35 year plan would make sense depending on how often the wakeup calls are needed.
Ask HN: How does WhatsApp charging work?
As far as I can tell, WhatsApp (for iOS) lets you have one year free, and every year after that for $.99... I thought Apple didn't allow for free trials, but isn't that technically what WhatsApp is doing? I'd like to know how they get away with doing that, and could any app do that?

thanks!

"In a way good programmers make it more difficult for younger programmers to notice these things, since an elegant design might reflect innumerable man-hours of careful decision making and improvement but it works so well and so smoothly and with so few parts that it can seem almost trivial."

"[W]hen we see code that doesn't have a big clanking WTF in the middle of it, when we see code that seems to make intuitive sense, we don't tend to ponder the optimization and tradeoffs that went into it. But in truth those can be just as deep and just as profound for ordinary looking code as for obviously clever stuff. That goes double when you only use the software."

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

I want to write more, but in those two quotes you've managed to articulate something that I've been thinking about quite a bit recently.

Good software doesn't seem good. It is invisible.
Measuring terrorism in number of historical attacks or body counts shows a lack of understanding of the goal of terrorism. I'm not saying terrorism attacks itself is the source, but the fear of terrorism (which is still essentially terrorism).

Terrorists attacks probably aren't accelerating (domestically). But politically in the last decade, it has been the source of the accelerated militarization of police [1], extreme border policies such as the TSA follies and the elimination of judicial check on executive power [1].

All signs of increased totalitarianism and all directly connected to terrorism.

I view it as form of protest / civil disobedience. And of course PR.
People who create and invent, hackers have tons of unfinished stuff. If you like it do it, you don't need a reason. What's wrong with coding for the sake of coding something. From time to time I go back and look at my old code, sometimes I re-learn things I'd forgotten or see better ways to do them.
