jzworkman··on Show HN: PhotoKlash – Apples to Apples meets SnapChat in my new app
Thanks for the feedback. We tried to keep the slideshow more focused as a tutorial of sorts. But adding the user side of why you should play and what benefit you get is a good idea.
jzworkman··on Show HN: PhotoKlash – Apples to Apples meets SnapChat in my new app
Hey everyone, I am the lead dev for this app. Let me know any feedback or if you have any comments.
jzworkman··on Florida shortened yellow lights to increase red light camera revenue [video]
If the "all-red" time is increased to compensate, then the time before someone else goes does not decrease. However, if they are just decreasing the yellow time, and keeping the all-red the same(making the total time from yellow to opposite direction green shorter) then I agree that safety has been lowered to increase profits, and this would be super un-ethical.
jzworkman··on Petition to make unlocking phones legal again passes 100,000 signatures
Your point number 1 is a little naive. Money and interest groups drive policy. While the poor may have just as much vote in an election, the power to change policy generally is focused on the interest groups that most support that politician. So while people may not "vote with money" policy is very much money driven.
jzworkman··on Cards Against Humanity: Results of "pay what you want"
Makes me feel better about just paying the normal full price of $25 to get a copy for my brother. The game is just so great, and definitely worth supporting.

Just thought I would comment here because I can't on your blog. The link to follow on hacker news just brings you back to the blog post.
jzworkman··on Why I love having a geeky boyfriend - this is the surprise I was given today
Got stuck on trying to type out answers for the binary clue, yay for viewing page source ;)
jzworkman··on Halo 4 Beats Halo 3
Was this really worthing of linking? It is a two sentence article saying "Halo 4 launch 15% better than halo 3" without any data to support the claim. Instead maybe you should have linked to the actual article.

Why are you posting here? And what context does hacker news have on this?
jzworkman··on Ask HN: Seeing posts from 100 days ago within the top 125, anyone seen this?
I was just surprised that all of the posts #110-120 are from between 7 and 111 days ago. I have usually not seen that old of posts breaking the top 125 like that(I thought the algorithm was supposed to target new posts)
jzworkman··on Ask HN: Seeing posts from 100 days ago within the top 125, anyone seen this?
Yea I just think it is weird the algortihm is picking up an article from over 100 days ago, and showing up in the top 125 posts.
jzworkman··on Ask HN: Why do I see links that are over 2 years old in the top 100
I will grab a screen cap and a link the next time I see it happen. One point to note is that I have only seen it happen when I am not logged in(say if my cache gets reset and I forget to log back in right away). I just tried to find some today and was unable to do so, but it is always interesting when I see a link I swear I read about years ago boasting as a new technology and then notice the link was actually posted two years ago and somehow found its way back into the list.
