di.fm used to be good; then they grew bigger and started charging (about the same time their music selection quality started to decline). These days I'll listen to MrsFudge Streaming Radio, which has the best music voting system I've seen:

This is a good way to find the wrong kinds of clever people. They won't be productive because they will be too busy putting their hours into their favorite puzzles.

Each one of us works differently, but I would say this probably depends more on your momentum at the present time. If you find that your productivity remains high, then you probably should push through the final week. However, if you've s

It sounds like you're in a mental rut at the moment. To get out of it, you will need to put aside the problem of 'finding your next startup' and focus your attention on other things for a while. Teaching yourself a new technology or worki

There is a problem with this. All developers are not created equally. It may take me 100 hours to complete a task a more capable programmer only needs 5 to do. In such a situation, I'd acrue more value than the next 3 closest developers.

By restricting registration, you cut off your community from potentially beneficial new members and ideas. While news.yc wants to keep the news quality up, I don't think anyone wants to turn it into an elitist club of people who 'got in on

Watts book Six Degrees is pretty interesting to read. There's a lot of good material in it that will leave you with lots to think about. It's a bit dense in places and could have used a better ordering of the materials, but I'd still reco

We're only in trouble here if PG and the others used to implicitly moderate traffic are likely to upvote those links. Otherwise, we can safely ignore them. Adding a 'report submission' button might be prudent as it would make the process

This is quite impressive technology. Now they need to find a way to get more than one heart out of a 'decellularized heart'. At that point, we won't have any more problems with finding organ donations.
