Just finished Zero to One a few days ago. It's pretty much Peter Thiel's talks summarized into one book. Not really an 'action' book, more of a "here's what a different view of the startup world is like" (

Conversely, ask yourself the opposite question: what will happen if AJAX voting were enabled in HN? - votes will be counted immediately, the number increase. Then what? While this is good UX, would this be helpful in the entire context of H

Check out Fork the Cookbook[0], which uses such a thing. The main complaint (about 10 each week) is that people expect to have only one password. It's not really as user friendly as you think [0]: http://forkthecookbook.com
