Ask HN: What's your favorite bookmarked HN thread?
- zdw 16y agoI really like this one: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2158116 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2158116
- ComputerGuru 16y agoOh that's mean. So very mean. So very deserving of an upvote, too.
- jacquesm 16y agoActually, if enough people submit their favorite threads here it might very well turn out to be true.
- jacquesm 16y agohttp://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1327632 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1327632
- bigsassy 16y agoThis was a good one. The conversation was from an article titled "Double Your Price (no, I'm not kidding)": http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1639712 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1639712
- patio11 16y agoI get a lot of value out of HN, but the biggest wins monetarily have been advice regarding consulting, often across multiple threads. Two favorites which stuck with me enough to be Googleable: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1225179 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1225179 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1191094 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1191094 Comments rather than threads picked because they stuck, but the contextual threads were also good.
- amerine 16y ago+1 for both comments. Some of the best advice ever given on HN.
- jonp 16y agoAlso interesting to read patio11's comment (via the first link) on "salon scheduling" in light of launching Appointment Reminder.
- bryanh 16y agoI'm sure we're all guilty of that. X idea gets in our head. What a silly idea!. X idea sticks around. X idea still sticking around. Maybe X idea isn't so bad...
- patio11 16y agoThat was at my last week at the day job. As I recall, I posted from my Kindle at godawful late following hellish overtime, dinner, writing the first page of notes for AR, and checking into a hotel. I think I was still calling it Notiphone then. Notifo launched a week or so later and I scrapped the name. I'd check the notebook but lost it in America in October.
- DenisM 16y agoWoohoo, my post is Patrick's favorite! If you only you had written a book, I would have immediately demanded an autographed copy! :) Ah well, please stop by when you're in Seattle.
- zaveri 16y agoWhere to look to learn UX/Design http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1768358 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1768358
- JamesDB 16y agoCheers for that. Hadn't seen that before.
- chegra 16y agoHN Brag Thread http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1200959 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1200959 It provides a good introduction to what others have done.
- klbarry 16y agoThis thread is pretty great and inspiring.
- SupremumLimit 16y ago"How do you come up with new project ideas?": http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1916801 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1916801
- solipsist 16y agoInstead of taking the usual 10 seconds to read each comment, it's now going to take 10 minutes (assuming you skim through the entire thread each person links to). I'm definitely holding onto this super thread, though, as it may well become the unofficial threads of threads.
- jacquesm 16y agoI've stolen your 'thread of threads' name for this page and have added an entry to the HN faq under the header 'the best stuff'. Hopefully that will get people to keep coming back here and add more to it.
- solipsist 16y agoThanks, I feel honored to have the name added to the HN FAQ. :)
- patrickk 16y agoJason L Baptiste on "How to become a millionaire in 3 years?": http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1447467 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1447467 I actually printed this out for reference, the only time I've found myself doing this.
- simonsarris 16y agoP versus NP for dummies: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1605415 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1605415
- keenans 16y agoComment thread of pg's "Startup Ideas We'd Like to Fund": http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=250704 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=250704 and "Ask HN: Industries Ripe For Disruption?": http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=475736 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=475736
- amattn 16y agoAn excellent comment by nostrademons on how to be an expert programmer: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=185153 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=185153
- pushtheenvelope 16y agoThanks for pointing this one out. I was aware of many similar approaches, but having them expressed so succintly really drove home the point of how to use them and progress through them on a particular 'bug' or project.
- jacquesm 16y agoAnother item for this thread, not a HN thread specifically but more like another version of this one: http://remembersaurus.com/askhn.html http://remembersaurus.com/askhn.html It's a curated list of the best 'Ask HN' threads collected over many years, first by Gabriel Weinberg, now maintained by Michael Fairley.
- profitbaron 16y agoThanks! This is a really great list
- rbxbx 16y agoLots of great (consulting) advice in the "Why I bill hourly" thread. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1880096 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1880096

- jseliger 16y agoA Hacker's Guide to Tea: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1934051 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1934051 . I stopped drinking tea because I would sometimes like the taste and sometimes not without being able to sort out why some was good and some was not. Now I understand and can reproduce consistently good cups.
- wallflower 16y agoMy all-time favorite News.YC comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=121413 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=121413 About the success of failure from fiaz
- jacquesm 16y agoWhat a gem. Thank you for that. Not only for the insight in it but for the bravery Fiaz had to write that all out.
- tokenadult 16y agoIn the threads-about-HN category, pg's comment from 1078 days ago that upvoting to indicate agreement and downvoting to indicate disagreement with comments has its place on HN. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171 I am aware that since then pg has been thinking about ways to refine the commenting system or flagging to make sure that the right incentives occur on HN to encourage worthwhile threads and comments to those. Kudos to the OP here for asking all of us to look up good examples of worthwhile content on HN. Now the way I "bookmark" HN threads is by sharing the submitted links, with a hat-tip to HN, with my Facebook friends. Seaching the links I've recently submitted to Facebook, I see that an HN thread about science books http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2110042 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2110042 was quite useful and well liked.

- turar 16y agoIs there a way to save/bookmark HN threads under my HN profile? I see "saved stories" under http://news.ycombinator.com/saved http://news.ycombinator.com/saved, but don't see a way to save anything there. The only other option is to comment on something and then have it available under "threads", but that sucks. Sorry, I'm a newbie around here.
- sharadgopal 16y agoif you upvote a story, it gets saved under your profile.
- turar 16y agoThanks, awesome.
