   Reality TV; survivor, weakest link, etc. Vote the worst person off. Appeals hugely with democratic cultures. The more subtle ones I know of are related to prisoner's dilemma. However, it varies per cultural areas.

   #startups is the most popular subreddit for HNers. You'll find some dislike for HN though. Moderation/YC rejection issues mostly.

   Did you have extra costs due to more memory requirements? Any other costs? What about savings? How long did it take to train the team to MongoDB? Did you have a rollback plan if MongoDB is not good enough? What were your requirements that m

    It's pretty good UI to give more sparse so as to appeal to more general less technical population. Facebook was one of the early implementers. Look at kid books for an example of how long sparseness and largeness has been going on for. Does

    Google has many advantages. Being successful at implementations is not one of them. They also have many disadvantages such as lack of support. Be true to your customers.

    I'm referring to Tumblr's typo that did not render the PHP script and due to an include, it was displayed as plain text: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2343330 You can see some discussions within on how to avoid it.
