I'm so glad this was posted on YC. Thank you! I'm glad this place is featuring the exact same links as reddit, digg, slashdot, etc. Woohoo copycats!

Easiest thing to do is to install Greasemonkey if you are using Firefox and then apply this script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25039 It allows you to block by site. Just add http://*nytimes.com./* to the block list. And add ht

Cool. I tried their plugin once before but couldn't justify the price. I'll try the new version though since I thought the last one I tried was nice.

I gotta hand it to cnn for coming up with a creative twist on the fact that Windows strangelhold is decreasing. "Hey guys, I know: Instead of the umpteenth article on how *nix or Macs are becoming more popular, why don't we do a related sto

Guy Kawasaki poses and answers this question in his book, "The Art of the Start" and his answer is "You should be so lucky to have the choice." That's all - nothing more. Take from it what you will.

First question: are you using source code control? If not, how many developers are on your team? If it's just you and you don't need/want-to use source code control, consider batch file builds scheduled as Scheduled Tasks in XP/Vista/OS.

#$%^ you, economist, for thinking we here at YC are stupid enough to fall for such obvious bait.

I don't even know what this question means. I wouldn't be surprised to see pg ignore it due to lack of substance.

I think it's fine to get inspiration as long as you aren't stealing. I modeled mine after amazon. I'm not a guru designer and I took what I liked from about five sites total to create my mashup. Take the ideas/elements you like and make the

A healthy dose of skepticism works well for me. I'm happy to share certain details with close friends and colleagues but less likely to divulge critical processes to someone who I meet off of craigslist. I will say that ideas are more sacre

I have to wonder why you are doing this - are you really planning on having so many authors that you need a technical solution for this right now? Massive book publishers need that sort of thing but for a startup it seems unnecessary and a

Pen and paper first is my approach. I like to do workflows and ideas on pen & paper with lots of bullet points and rewrites. I go off to a secluded, quiet area and turn off the cell phone/computer and then I just start writing in long h

Here's a corresponding YC link from today titled, "The best Web sites and books about advertising": http://www.slate.com/id/2191446/ . It's from slate.com so I doubt there's anything useful though :) I'm saving this as I'd like to see what

As a fan of pg, let me be the yang here and say, "Please don't do this, Paul." I like Paul's articles and ideas because I think he brings something unique and different many times. Wasting valuable neurons on something we all know (They got

I wish I knew of a place to post jobs for startups other than craigslist. I have a position open now if anyone is interested for a junior .NET/SQL Server dev. http://www.learnitfirst.com/Jobs/2008/JuniorDeveloper-01.asp...
