Not needing it is completely different from forcing a reason onto them.

Tons and tons of things make it to the top with no comments, I'm always curious as to why they are there and have 20 points (not sure of the accuracy of that) within 8-10 minutes but no comments. Though this is just a delicious linkbai

Off the top of my head? Allow people to charge for subscriptions to their feeds and take a cut. People follow you, you make naughty pics and send them out, people see them. There's lots of ways for the leader to play with the timing an

I'm not saying the valuation is justified but naughty pictures have proven to be a very, very profitable industry.

My thoughts exactly, perhaps better phrasing would be: Does our Society have a drinking problem?

Research and Concept Design can work too, who else has some good buzzwords?

On the flip side, Instant Video benefits seem to be getting better (as far as I can tell).

What's wrong with mayo? It's just eggs, oil, vinegar and a few spices. Seems pretty straightforward and far from an "abomination". I mean don't eat it as a main course but throwing some into your chicken salad shoul

I'm not sure if it's just my group of people or not but, since most of us are "cord cutters", we tend to discuss things that recently came available or had new seasons on Netflix/Hulu so it's new at that point

Shocked! I am shocked to hear that a major tech project with a hard deadline was pushed through at the last minute. Kidding aside, a selfish part of me likes things like this because it lifts the veil and shows me that plenty of other peopl

So they put it back and now people are unhappy a company didn't flat out say they made a bad decision? Spin is everywhere, startups seem worse than others. Every day there's something on the HN front page that's going to revo

I only go across the river to visit friends or go to the tomato fest and Vandy area for McDougals chicken. I live and have lived in the areas people consider solidly red, you'd be surprised how people vote. They just don't wave a

Quite insightful but no, compared to many other conservative cities and it's seems to be leaning away from it's conservative past. For example, there's still tons of churches but some of the biggest and most popular are the n

I more mean that it deviates from the normal southern views. It votes blue more often than not, is quite "metropolitan" and getting more so. Sure Williamson and Rutherford are about as crazy right wing as it gets with that many p

In general, Nashville seems poised to be a sleeper tech city. Cheapish (especially surrounding areas), lots of money (personal and business), liberalish, well located. Though crime rates leave something to be desired and it can be a bit bac

When you know one thing really, really well and it's a niche, it can seem be in your best interest to setup camp or form a tribe, or whatever...maybe not the case here but I see it a lot, DBAs specifically come to mind.

I haven't been able to get Chrome stable in the past month or two and gave up and went back to FF after trying a few different things. I've missed my old buddy Firefox, he's grown up a lot.

There's going to be the common blabber and hating on the usual suspects but polls like this tend to be good ways to bring up a general topic and let everyone discuss. Maybe it would've been better in a AskHN but at least here we

Just did the same thing, we're all in this together, though 7-8 yeas ago it would've been a straight dislike. It's power is growing, be wary.

It completely depends upon your interests, I'm subscribed to a number of music related ones though nowadays I'm wondering why I don't just go back to a message board like AudioKarma...

I like the specific mention of Agri-business. I'll admit to being pretty blind to it until a close friend went to one that is doing amazing things and producing very sophisticated devices. They're currently switching out the old f

Thanks for the response! I was kind of wondering if you'd had a lot of pre-release devs or not, I'm always curious at what point people release. I'm on what I'll call a floater business operations contract. It's an

Poorly worded title considering the context (or punny?). I can't be the only one who thought hyperlink, can I?

Off topic, but if you're in pre-release, how do you have enough metrics to say "most developers" pick the Coffee Shop plan or is it just marketing fluff? I really like the color scheme and if I wasn't in a "boring&q

Gotcha! And I'd like to mention I wasn't trying to be snarky (not to you, just in general). I've always had a pull away, out into a large unpopulated area and it makes complete sense that some people have the opposite. The hu

Depends, you can try and find companies in different business sectors and fill in gaps for each (with permission of course). The company pays with their list (and a fee to you?) which another could use. As long as it doesn't affect the
