I saw this once and was immediately turned off by the videos. Not only is it harder to go to a specific place and look at things again, but as someone with hearing problems, videos without captions are an immediate deal-breaker for me. I re

With this in mind, (price) scalable-CDNs are a good idea. Don't spend a lot of money up-front when you're not sure you'll get the traffic to merit it. I'm glad I didn't, because my site got all of five hits from HN... though, granted, it's

How is this different from just running a poll on HN? No analysis? I would have at least liked to have been able to see how many people voted for the various other options.

I know this isn't going to be a popular stance here, BUT... I was really glad to see this, especially "Make things. Help people. Be happy." There are so many stories about financial success/failure, exits, and investing here on HN that it s

gmail, hands down. Not only do I use it for communication, but I also store a lot of notes and cross-computer bookmarks in the form of e-mails to myself.

Immersion. Listen to Japanese music all the time, watch lots of Japanese things (all kinds of things). Just hearing the language will help, even though it all sounds like gibberish. Your brain will start to sort out the sounds and accents b

I would have said Notepad++ until I found Sublime Text 2 ( http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-2-new-... ) here on HN. A big shout-out to you guys. I completely intend to buy a license when it comes out of Alpha.

It's not just teachers, but any popular media portrayal of someone being successful: the magical teacher, the genius investor, the miracle comeback kid, etc. You have Billy Madison, The Rookie, Kill Bill, The Karate Kid, all of these films

I'm currently trying to self-publish my (non-IT) ebook on Amazon, Lulu, and Barnes & Noble through www.branchrock.com. Here's my impression: 1. Lulu is the easiest to work with. They accept the widest variety of files, don't require any

The name sounded interesting, so I visited the site, but I have no clue what it's for. I noticed, in order: 1. A Cory Doctorow quote about killing noobs. I'm a noob. 2. Ten blog entries to help me learn to use the site. I still don't know w

I went to look and I don't have a clue what's going on at that site, which means I don't want to sign up. I don't know what Google isn't interested in and what you "might as well" try. "Might as well" doesn't make it sound like you're all t

I never really message people who are offline, whether it's on MSN, AIM, Skype, or any other instant messenger. I may have something I want to tell them or show them, but if they're offline, nine times out of ten, I just don't bother. So wh

I had the same problem -- I posted a "Tell HN" that bombed, but that was probably because I posted it on Saturday morning on St. Patrick's Day weekend without realizing it. There are definitely ways to game the system and post at times that

I scan them sometimes; they're all over the place here in Japan and it's easy to scan them on my phone.

It would be really nice if I could middle-click "details" to open palettes in new tabs, or favorite palettes to come back to or even compare in a grid view later. I'm also really confused about the swatch download. It tries to download as "

I bake chicken wings and drumettes for a slow, but low-fuss dinner. Cover with salt and spices, rub in three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, bake on aluminum foil for 50 minutes at 190 C. In those 50 minutes, I can clean my apartment

Donate blood, donate money. Narita isn't even running flights and transportation out to that area is untenable at best, foolhardy at worst.

4:00 am JST, had a 30 second quake that bashed my head on the wall and woke me up. Edit: I'm from seismically-inactive Pennsylvania and completely not used to this, even after four years. It took me a while to fall asleep the first time sin
