Fair point, but isn't the jam example also a product aisle with 24 varieties of jam? My current frontpage recommendations include around 15 laptops and 15 books - I can't possibly buy all of them - aren't they asking me to choose? If they

This sounds reasonable. But I've always wondered about Amazon.com's UI strategy in the context of choice - they always show me much more crap than I am interested in: on the home page, on search result pages, on product detail pages, pretty

I might not want to swap out Django with CGI, but I might want to use RabbitMQ-based distributed tasks in Pylons. Seems like a waste to write all that code from scratch. For Django users (and I am one), Celery is clearly useful. But a distr

Looks interesting. But shouldn't a library like celery work outside the context of a web framework? I don't see a reason to call this a distributed task queue 'for Django' specifically, except for the dependencies on Django's ORM and settin

Great list. I would also add a box for 'Core Values'. It might help, for instance, in computing a more accurate valuation of 'Fear' as a trade object.

They explicitly state they don't use SearchWiki to influence ranking right now. From http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/11/google-searchwiki-l... : "At this time we aren't using SearchWiki to influence ranking but it is easy to see how

Xmarks search is indeed a cool concept (much like delicious search), but I don't bookmark everything useful I find on the web - so bookmark-based search will never be quite as comprehensive. In a way, search engines already account for up-m

A user's SearchWiki rankings do not influence other users' search results. Yet. Till that happens, it's not really HN-style modding.

Amazon pays Kindle authors/publishers 35% of the list price (which is set by the content owner). The retail price is set by Amazon. Scribd's margins are clearly more lucrative. Smashwords ( http://www.smashwords.com ) operates a similar m

I know I am stating the obvious, but it's up there because enough HN users thought it was important enough. (my best guess would be misplaced national pride) If enough users find a submission objectionable enough to flag it, it will be kill
