Ask HN: favorite HN posts?
I read HN in GoogleReader, so I often save some of the posts to the Starred Items. I wonder if you do the same. Please share some of your links.
P.S. I'm also looking for a HN post with a link to a huge multi-pages document describing how airlines set prices and handle tickets. It was very interesting and I'd like to re-read it, but I can't find it. Any help would be very much appreciated.

- mambodog 16y agoThe thing with those is, as you go back you'll notice a fair few that aren't nearly as interesting now, they were just topical/the right thing at the right time. Many of the truly great articles I've read on HN scored well, but not that well.

But the 'best' page is definitely a page worth visiting when you're looking for good stuff. some stuff I really liked: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1373046 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1373046 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1362423 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1362423 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1360065 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1360065 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1355977 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1355977
