I think this adds on nicely to hackrtrackr which appears to only be useful for geo-locating yc-readers. This looks to be built much more to satisfy that "community of people who can pick each other's brains" need. A more blunt assessment..

I think this will work out great for them. Somethingawful.com is one example of a site which has a pay-barrier to it's forums primarily for the reason to keeping out trolls. Now you may have mixed opinions over the nature of things discusse

Anyone else find this article really useless without being able to see the screen shots in higher resolution? I am interested in the UI improvements, but I won't be told about them. SHOW me.

The irritating thing about that argument is it comes with the built-in implication that you already know something else (Windows/OSX/whatever). It is basically complaining about learning-curve, right? The other irritating thing is it usuall

Philosophically I am with you, but the site design seems to make it feel 'dirty' to me. I really wish it broadcast the ideals your blog post is rather than broadcasting a cockroach and dirt. I am curious what kind of features exist to comba

You are right on the money. It all comes down to the best shave for YOU. It's worth experimenting. After all if you are going for clean-shaven you are going to be shaving about once per day. 365 times per year. Thousands of times before you

I love seeing facebook connect buttons because it means I will be logging into a site without touching my keyboard. This is a big win for when I am on the couch.

" We make idols of celebrities in our generation but what of the past generation or two." Consider the insane amount of people who are considered extremely influential in their respective fields/disciplines/arts only AFTER they pass away. I

Off the cuff solution: Require accounts be tied to a real identity (provide driver's license #?.. No I haven't thought about legal/privacy repercussions) and introduce a post-date rating system. Sprinkle in some sort of staleness algorithm

Strangely enough this post has caused me to decide to give D another wag.

This blind date idea is really what interests me. I think profiles create two issues beyond the ones you already pointed out. I am pulling these examples from my experience on OkCupid. 1 - People don't give fully honest answers to personali

Hopefully it will reach a critical mass sufficient to allow sites to REQUIRE a flattr account to see their content. Note that this is different from requiring a subscription, since you aren't forced into donating to them. But you are forced

"This checkbox alone, with that particular title, helped increase their successful application conversion rate by over 11% – an increase of hundreds more applications a month!" Sounds like it is off the application page, but if the wording

I second this! I wrote a post ( http://goosey.posterous.com/the-good-news-is-you-dont-have-t... ) recently about this development strategy. It has many advantages beyond the "you don't have to worry about hosing your laptop" one, for sure

It is for this very reason that I update my profile regularly, even if insignificant ways. I actually have a Google Calendar to remind me to do it twice a month. This can be great for your career. If you don't work for a itty bitty startup

There must be something wrong with my brain in that the design of the page and the framework make me finally want to really give node.js a try. I find this happens to me a lot. Anyone else find themselves picking their 'meats' based on the

Really great idea, but most advanced whiteboard cleanup software includes perspective correction and things like that.. As far as I can tell this just is a color-scale modifier and sharpener. However the idea behind the service, whiteboard

I have read Flow twice in the last few years and while I considered it an important work that has shaped my perspective of personal psychology immensely I never understood Flow on a logical level. For me the 'idea' of flow made sense, but I

The question in my mind is if 7-zip has a good multicore implementation for compression/decompression. I recall that the multicore implementation by the original gzip author increased the speed on a 4-core machine by something like a x3.75

Not sure why you are getting downvoted so much. I had the exact same thoughts after reading this.. "Uhm, so we have a new post script?"

"In the class of 1970, only 20 of the 75 students who began the class finished it due to its difficulty." Now I am curious if either BG or RS successfully COMPLETED the course (and hell, while we are at how well they did!)
