omidfi··on A speed camera app for phones might save lives
Multiple sources say speeding is the main cause. One source disagrees: drivers who love speed :D
omidfi··on A speed camera app for phones might save lives
It’s not a solution even slightly close to the proper ones you mentioned for sure. It might just give visibility to the problem and prove how common ignoring speed limits is. It’s a stretch but if drivers feel anyone with a phone can see they are irresponsible drivers might change their behavior.

Thanks. For Trello as an example, I can see 95 employees on Linkedin. I couldn't find any breakdown by role, but anyesy that number is somewhat helpful. Max 95 developers then

Good pointer, I got a friend working at a vc maybe he knows something.
omidfi··on Ask HN: Is it possible to use Google search results like startpage.com does?

omidfi··on Ask HN: Is it possible to use Google search results like startpage.com does?
Yes, it’s possible to use Bing. But I don’t like the results. That’s why I’m trying to find out how startpage uses Google.
omidfi··on Ask HN: Any software companies whose product is good for planet earth?
Indeed it is hard.

But maybe by relative comparison we could rank them somehow?

For example, some supply chain management software that reduces food spoilage at super markets, might be better for the environment than one that just increases online sales?

Thank you for your insightful comment.

Yes the pattern is the same, more often than not developers feel the same pain developing things that breaks UX, as the users who use them

No this time it's serious and aims to improve our lives :D But actually it's a good idea to add that in one of the sections. Thank you
omidfi··on Ask HN: How can I improve my written and spoken English skills?
Language learning is a lifelong effort. My advice is accepting that point and giving yourself time.

More practical advice, pick a TV series you enjoy and watch it ten timea. My pick: friends

Thank you :)

For the Show HN part, I didn't know about it.

- should be easy to add. - browser API for audio is still not the best it can be, even getting the simple recording to work was very difficult. But I'll look into this too. - Yes recording will stop after 10 seconds. I can add a note. - No but it's needed, I'll add the report abuse button.
