> I'm not convinced. What if the upvoting really is representative of a large number of the users? My bet is that up voting is definitely representative of a large number of the users, but that many are voting out of support for Ron Pau

So the obvious question becomes: How does version 2 of social news prevent this? How does/will news.yc deal with it? For the sake of argument (though it may be true anyways), what if we assume the Ron Paul voting is totally organic? What if

When I see non-idiomatic Ruby code, it tells me one of two things. The first assumption I make is that whoever wrote the code is not a Ruby programmer. That's usually the case. I've been using rfacebook lately and this is definitely the c

Where I come from (UCSB) we had a different take on the nomenclature. The game the article describes was called "Beirut", as the article notes. "Beer Pong", by contrast, was much closer to an actual game of ping pong, paddles and all, each
