I'm interested to see how HN avoids its eternal September. I'm optimistic. There's more than one way to go about it.

Same thought here. I don't see what the point of pulling in my delicious data is if you don't actually do anything with it. If that were a big help I would just open delicious up in another window and type out the tags I wanted.

When the title explicitly declares the content of the piece, the content should adhere to whatever format is implied. I'm looking for 10 actual ideas that I can scan through, not 10 witty headers like "Get Off the Couch."

I rarely give my password out in that way, and only ever if it's a well-known service. It's foolish to do; that implies that it's foolish to require.

I second that YouTube recommendation wholeheartedly. I clicked on it wondering if it was the Ira Glass video, and it was. Very helpful.

It's easy for a programmer to cover higher living expenses in NYC because tech jobs pay well here. If you quit your job to make a go of it with a startup, you had better start making money quickly, or your reserves will be depleted before y
