As someone who helps run another volunteer tech nonprofit that relies on slack, is there a reason they kicked you off the free nonprofit plan? Asking to have a good backup plan for our community.

"Fix Claude's bug manually. Claude had a bug in the previous commit. I prompted it multiple times to fix the bug but it kept doing the wrong thing.
So this change is manually written by a human.
I also extended the README to discuss the OAuth 2.1 spec problem."

This is super relatable to my experience trying to use these AI tools. They can get halfway there and then struggle immensely.
A college hackathon organizer here (and former high school hackathon organizer). This is so useful. Dealing with high school/university administration takes up an incredible amount of time. When it came to reimbursements, my university took months to pay back student organizers who paid out of their own pocket to buy last minute items.
This is so great. As someone who used to run a Hack Club, it's so exciting to see this (would have solved a lot of problems for me back in high school).
Out of curiosity, are there ever plans to expand this beyond high school?
this is awesome. is this real-time?
Senior at the International Academy here (a public high school in Michigan). One of my classes uses Google Classroom.
I think that Google truly took a "Google Plus" look and morphed that into a website for teachers. I love how it has a clean and easy to use UI. The assignments are on a side bar, announcements are clearly displayed in a "stream". You can easily post a message to your class, and you have access to everyone's email (making it easy to communicate).
Teachers in my school have used three platforms. Moodle, Google Classroom, and Edmodo. Quite frankly, I have come to like Edmodo much more. They're identical to Facebook, but the layout is so much better than the alternatives (in my preference). Edmodo has truly thought everything out.
The Madison Block[1] has a lot to do with the growth startup-wise in Downtown Detroit. Also, there are more and more meetups going on. For example, Detroit Soup[2] is a growing event and calls people to join, pay $5 for soup, and vote on a project that will benefit the city (people present their projects). Even MHacks, the premier college hackathon run by students from the University of Michigan, was held in the Quicken Loans headquarters this spring. I have also been to a few meetups such as one from the Detroit NodeJS group, and the Detroit Drones group- the meetup groups are active and growing.
The city has had its ups and downs, but things are on the rise. Take it from someone who has lived near the city for 17 years. I think there are a lot of assumptions about Detroit, but there are a few things that are true: We have a 14.5% unemployment rate, a post industrial culture (culture of employees expecting to work for the Big Three immediately, instead of a culture of entrepreneurs), a financial problem, and poor Detroit schools (however the schools in suburbs are much better).
I think that the combination of a lot of opportunity, and recent support from people like Dan Gilbert gave Detroit a huge start with the Madison Block, and that is the reason that people look at Detroit and what is happening in the city now.
Being from Detroit, I found the map particularly interesting to look at.
Personally not a fan of the UI currently. However there could be a lot done with the itself- such as providing safer routes by utilizing the data.
I apologize. Thanks for the explanation.
Just gave the HN guidelines a thorough (and much needed) read.
Hmm, definitely didn't mean to submit it if it was already done in the past. I thought that if it was submitted previously then hacker news would automatically detect that.
These statistics were very interesting to see, and definitely not what I expected.
On average, I expected the number of "Show HN" submissions to increase dramatically, but it does not seem to be that way.
Possible reasons:
1. The "Show" section on the header bar adds too much- people want a simplistic view and the show section hasn't caught on as much as the "ask".
2. People are wary of submitting "Show HN" posts and sharing their work due to criticism
3. The guidelines set are restrictive
Personally, I think it will just take time to catch on. It would definitely be interesting to see these statistics with "Ask HN" for comparison.
My news sources consist of a variety of websites and apps. Primarily, I regularly look at Hacker News and find its content to be very interesting. Other than that, I use Flipboard, as I find the UI very appealing.
I also learn a lot from going on Facebook- as any news normally makes its way on the site.
Have these workshops been running for some time already? It's amazing to see stuff like this happening all around the world.
This is a really neat twist to Pong. Nice work! Did you open source it, by any chance?
I really need to see an analysis of Tim Howard and his blocking ability now.
I love the new look! A much better, refreshed design that was needed.
This was awesome to read. It's incredible to see such a growth in the hacker community- and a facebook community like this has definitely inspired a lot more creativity among young minds.
That is correct! I read that novel about a month ago, in my IB English class.
This is a great list! Also, check out this:

It's another really good list of courses :)
Is there any data available for acceptance to the program? If so, someone (or I) could run a T-test and find out if there is any statistical significance.
Ironic, because the blog is from a founder of A16Z, and Github was funded by A16Z.
Well, for one, Dropbox is claiming that it was not a hack at all.
See: http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/10/dropbox-offline-hacker-grou...
and also see dropbox's blog post, explicitly stating that it "was caused during routine internal maintenance, and was not caused by external factors"
Okay, true. I concede. It's nevertheless interesting.
Why do you think that? Please elaborate! HackerNews isn't supposed to be about trolling.
Personally, I like the idea and i'm going to use it. However, it relies on people downloading the extension. If there are enough people using it (which is definitely possible) then it would be successful.
What I have been telling my friends recently is to check out an online course. This one course named CS50x has been amazing in teaching people about CS and programming. So, tell them to see https://www.edx.org/course/harvardx/harvardx-cs50x-introduct... it starts in a few days and can be taken throughout 2014.
Hey!
Yahoo Answers is pretty interesting and it works on a point based system. Basically, the more questions you answer, the more points you gain. You also get points for "voting" on the best answer to each question (not as many as answering though). If the most people vote for your answer as "best answer" then you get 10 points.
That may have been a confusing explanation, but I definitely like the system (which keeps users engaged). And Hacker News does this as well with its karma system, although it works in a different way. Some of my friends are hooked on to this one chatting website (www.zobe.com), and it has a karma system as well. Basically, all the sites i've seen that have a point based/karma system are quite "vicious" as you put it (they have very consistent users).
I also forgot to mention- I also began recently using Quora, and i've liked it so far! Reminds me of Yahoo Answers but it definitely seems newer and fancier.
I'm interested in hearing more about the project you're working on! Please elaborate on what you're trying to do :)
I'm also a 16 year old high school student! I'm working on a website right now and i'm going to start adding projects soon. Regarding your website, my main criticism is the animations/transitions when you click on each tab (the page moves so fast-maybe slow it down). Otherwise, I really like your design-it's smooth and really refreshing to look at. You might want to consider changing the fonts though.
This is irrelevant to your website, but I noticed that you're from TJHS. Did you go to MHacks? I saw a few kids from that high school over there. I also noticed that you're involved with Pilot. I really want to get a hackathon started up here in Detroit, so we should connect.
I am an occasional Yahoo answers user. However recently, it has been Hacker News and Facebook for me.
I honestly wonder how they calculated the data for this. I was searching through the comments on that website, and one user suggested it might have been through phone calls to centers? I definitely would like to see some sources though.
I find it more respectable now that I see that Prezi actually posted a public blog post acknowledging their fault in their bounty program.
Still, I have to side with Shubham. They should at least reward him now.
