Shalle··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.

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.
Shalle··on Ask HN: I have ssh, they have ssh, how can we chat?
open up a screen session and type whatever you want.
Shalle··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··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.
Shalle··on Ask HN: What IM services do you use?
Skype and IRC
Shalle··on What if there were a $1M bounty per new security bug?
Where would these freeware/open source projects get several millions from to pay as bounties...
Shalle··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.

Shalle··on The number two paid app on iOS is based on a $10 GameSalad template
looks a bit like the "Bouncer" game for Nokia.

Shalle··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··on Ask HN: Tools you use for remote working?
Video conferences: Skype & Blackboard Chat: Skype & IRC Productivity: Viscosity, Sublime, Tower, SSH, VirtualBox, Adobe CS6
Shalle··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.

Signup button broken :(
Shalle··on Hack this for 20 BTC
Is it possible to contact u at freenode or something?
Shalle··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··on Extracting passwords from Chrome
It's the same with every other browser, for instance...

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-rememb...

Shalle··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··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··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.

Shalle··on White House response to the petition requesting a switch to metric
Has this new petition system actually made a difference? Has the goverment actually listened to an petition and formed a law or proposition around it? This is what it's about isn't it? Not just make up some lame story about a fix that never going to solve the issue.

The imperial system is quite flawed. Measuring using yards, feet etc is childish and it's in my mind not logical anywhere.

10 mm = 1 cm, 100 cm = 1 meter. vs 12 inch = 1 fot, 3 fot = 1 yard? wut?

The metric system must be alot easier to learn as a child as well. Just my opinion.

Shalle··on Eurovision Song Contest won by Denmark
This contest has became a joke. Loreen who didn't just win last year. But got the highest amount of points possible and also the only one ever to get it. She had to cancel her conserts because nobody wanted to go to them. That about summarize the total of all crap in that contest.

The #1 ever, cant even host a consert.

Shalle··on Prevent users from sharing their login information
1 session per account is pretty useful, that way it's less likely users will borrow their account to other people. IP restrictions is another soloution.
Shalle··on Boy tries to rape mom, kills her, over Call of Duty ban
I actually don't even know what that amendment is good for. I haven't seen a gun in my life(except on cops) and I've managed to survive, feel safe. How many pistols per citizen are required for US citizens to feel safe, how many 10's of thousands bio/chem,nuclear weapons is required for US to feel safe?

Let's see the question in reverse at what point does weapons become more dangerous than protective for the society?

Shalle··on Boy tries to rape mom, kills her, over Call of Duty ban
Who gives a 11 year old a gun? I saw an thread on HN a couple days ago about if arms save (american-)lives. In my mind this is the logic, more guns = more bullets fired = more people dead. There are better ways to protect yourselves than using guns people. Anyone else agree?
Shalle··on ASK HN: FREE FOOD?
1. No I probably would not because of the hustles it involves. 2. No I not unless I was homeless and broke. And if so I would most likely only look for unopened things. Otherwise I might as well just look in dumpsters by myself.
Shalle··on [dead]
Should really watch out when eating MEAT ONLY. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scurvy
Shalle··on Ask HN: How do you handle sudden suprise scaling?
Sometimes good isn't good enough. I don't know what kind of community you run or anything about your hosting/everything around it.

Maybe it's time for you to look into some way to either invest yourself by loan or find someone else investing in it for you. If the growth is so exponential as you make it sound, this would end up in profit for the company and you either way.

Shalle··on Swedish Pulbic Service channel shows a show called "Men that net-hate women".
This show is strictly an ad for the feminist party in Sweden at the same time it's used to try to push the limit of anonymity online. Aswell as they put the responsibility at companies to moderate their Facebook "forums", in this case it was Hennes & Mauritz what about next time? Should the companies be responsible for cleaning up their Facebook chats/comments even to their not an IT-related company?

Shalle··on How I got to #6 on the Google Play Store, and why I haven't bought a yacht yet.
I think its more because you only got 1-5k installs. If you find a country where you can buy a yacht for ~£25k please tell me!
