Yes it does. And I find myself re-searching in Google about 30% of the time. But for semi-common search terms you get the result right there on the page, instead of having to click through to another page - and sometime something interestin

I would love to know exactly what group was surveyed and how the score is put together. Was it an opt-in kind of thing, so only passionate/angry people would chime in. What were the questions phrased as? etc... Traditional questions like "H

That's what I usually do as well, however: DDG: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=iirc Gives me an IRC server written in Java - which didn't expect to be of use for Tumblr; Interactive Illinois Report Card which doesn't make any sense. I also chec

Well, that just means it's a great time to get into that market. If had already become huge and spending was huge, there would be lots of startups focusing on china. Perfect time to start laying out some groundwork.

Ironically. That response got downvoted and I have no idea why.

HN's Karma score has partially helped me better understand myself in the social context. With time I've learned to realize which types of responses/opinions people generally prefer and how to word the same sentence so that it relates to peo

This depends on the approach you take. People don't generally like it when somebody tries to teach them something if they haven't asked for it. I've noticed that if you word your thoughts and statements more like a question, you'll get more

I was actually a zumodrive user before I was a dropbox user. I had taken a look at dropbox but the fact that zumodrive installed as a separate drive on my computer felt better/cleaner than it being a magic folder (with a space in it's name)

Ok, that's understandable. My default thinking would be: offer e-mail only notifications for free users, but you made a good point. Your target audience/market is obviously not the casual user/blogger type so it makes perfect sense.

Interesting. Why did you make the switch? I'd love to hear details about that. My thinking is that if more people are using the service, that also doubles as an advertisement if the users tell some of their friends, recommend to coworkers e

Nice. Good job guys. Interesting. They don't include a free/freemium account, only paid ones with a free trial. I have been wondering about this. I've always assumed the best business model is to offer a free plan for everyone that is not l

Great article. Mark is so damn smart. He essentially covered the same topic on This week in VC so if you like to watch a video of the same topic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNaZfLV-5SA#t=41m38s

That's a great argument. But I think his point was that from the VCs point of view that doesn't look like the kind of fast ROI they're always after.

Depends. Do you intend to build a content based site, an application or something else entirely?

Personally, if I was looking for a job and scrum/agile was mentioned in an ad, it would be enough for me to not even consider the posting.

Ask HN: How many of you are actively using scrum/agile methods?

...or big thing running yesterday, right? Take Facebook for an example. To me, Facebook seems like a pretty complicated piece of software. The concept isn't very complicated but there are so many features all over the place.

But the PHP guys had told us about the deprecation of pass-by-reference years before it was deprecated. I think that's a really good argument for portability and long term maintenance. It they would've simply changed it over night, I'd ha

Why the downvotes? I thought I was being honest. To me, the fact that I did upvote the link without thinking made me curious/interested. I didn't realize that I was so simple. I wasn't making a joke and I was sincerely sorry. I think it pro

I'm sorry. Guilty as charged. I voted it up as soon as I saw DuckDuckGo in the title. I didn't know I was this simple, but I seem to automatically upvote everything relating to DDG...

Nice, that's pretty sweet. (I forgot about the fact that it was actually Readabililty, not simply a rip off, sorry about that)

maybe, but first when I saw it I wasn't sure if there was a user called Booty that was exposed, or that there was an actual ass that was exposed (as in a picture of it).. I didn't realize until I checked it out that it was the user's person

I'm not a big fan or wordpress, however I have to chime in here. Wordpress has: - intuitive user interface - awesome iphone application(s) - vibrant community (actually much larger than - works out of the box - ease of usage

Sorry about that. You're right. http://www.google.is/search?q=define:submerge I'm not a native English speaker, so sometimes it's difficult to find the right word and something pops up in my mind and I think it's correct.

Cool. You're talking about their readability rip off (I use readability all the time). Does it also display the whole article on one page?
