Shalle | 10 years ago | on: If Sweden and Germany Became US States, They Would Be Among the Poorest States

Not quite sure where these numbers were pulled from but the median Swedish salary for men are at $40482.89/yr and women at $36687.6/yr, the median of that is 38585.24 in total. Not sure that I can trust anything from this article.

Shalle | 10 years ago | on: The earth is flat! WTF?

I've seen religious freaks all over the net promoting this. But seriously? Once who have ever say in a plane have seen that the horizon isn't flat. It's curved. And if the earth were to be flat, how would the satellites stay up? Wouldn't possible to orbit something that's shaped in that way. But then I guess space travel is just bogus according to the religious freaks as well.

open up a screen session and type whatever you want.

Shalle | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why are phones getting larger?

I agree, the phones should still be phones and not tablets. If a customer want a tablet - buy a tablet. If they want a phone - buy a phone.

On the other hand what Apple made with the 6/6+ is a decent solution even though personally I believe the iPhone 6 to be slightly too big as well. Had to purchase a silicon case just to get a firm grip when holding it.

Shalle | 11 years ago | on: What it’s like living in the coldest town on Earth

Sounds just like the 10.000 other cities near/over the polar circle. And seriously, you don't keep your cars running 24/7 there are block heaters although this sounds like a very undeveloped place. Are you sure they're not Eskimos and ride around with their sleds? Eat what they hunt(there for frozen)? I've lived in areas where there was -30-45c for months straight and sure plumbing froze unless u let the water drip. Cars hard to start unless you use the block heater. But the rest just sounds like plain bullshit.

Where would these freeware/open source projects get several millions from to pay as bounties...

Shalle | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: Free screen recording Mac app that uploads while you record

Know a few of these features already been mentioned, but after trying it out...

The upload proximitor gets stuck, so it's not possible to start another recording unless you restart recordit.

The player doesn't scale it to fit on screen, unless you use full screen.

The possibility to delete what you have uploaded would be great. And possibly password protect it.

looks a bit like the "Bouncer" game for Nokia.

Shalle | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Has anyone used Flippa.com for domain sale

I've used it a few times, but some of the buyers are less serious and look to rent the domain and so on, which ends up in the ending the contract basically when ur ad expire, ending in you without a sale.

Shalle | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: Dead simple photo sharing

The layout for "Allow others to add photos to this album?" option doesn't seem very natural. Personally, I first tried to click Yes to toggle it on/off took me about 10s or so to see that it actually was 1 yes and 1 no button, naturally I thought it was 2 different settings.

But yeah might just be because I'm so used to iOS but who knows.

When I try to get a full-size version of my picture after uploading it I get an error message:

"We're sorry, but something went wrong.

If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.

Shalle | 12 years ago | on: “What’s a Browser?” – Remembering the Non-Tech-Savvy User

This is interesting, many of the people I talk with believes that the browser is "internet". Which makes me giggle a bit inside everytime.

Shalle | 12 years ago | on: Extracting passwords from Chrome

It's the same with every other browser, for instance...

Shalle | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Jailbreak Apple TV 3

It's a mixture of both I guess. While I want XMBC etc. I also would want the ability to do what I want with my own products.

Shalle | 12 years ago | on: IRS Exposes SSNs in Database of Public Tax Filings

Don't really see why this would be something to actually care about, many countries publish SSN's publicly.

Shalle | 12 years ago | on: Hospital creates bidding war by posting pricing online

I can't really see how charging this much to ease people's suffering is humanly possible. Sure Surgery Center was a lot cheaper than the rest, but even that is still expensive. For example, if I want to gosurgery center and get an brain/heart surgery, I'd be looking at possibly $500 in overnight fees but not really anything else.

How is anyone inhumane enough to start a business like these hospitals? Any medical care should be available to everyone. Breaking a finger shouldn't cost $2805 either. Countries like USA think they're superiour but yet they do not help their fellow citizens. If they would drop the war on the rest of the world(incl their own) they would probably afford to provide free medical care as well.
