Yeah, maybe there is actually truth to this [dead] post from earlier: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=608963

That is assuming pg is included in the count. I haven't looked at the code so I'm not sure if pg is classified as a user or something else.

In the end, what it comes down to is that you want something (which I also want, except for limiting new members) which is personalized. I couldn't agree more. HN is too general. There needs to be a way to customize, and only a client-side

This is exactly one of the problems. People downvote because it is how they feel not because there is any logic to it. Unless the negative points reaches threshold, it is suspect. Downvoting should also consist of a comment as to why. Wh

First, the emphasis was on the lack of a basis for the comment. But to answer your question, it depends on whether you think something that may be borderline absurdity adds some kind of value to others: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=

I can see how this will result in politicians being flooded with a lot of emotionally-driven comments and rants and therefore be less productive than some coordinated effort which has a backbone of reasoning. So you may want to consider a w

I'm not making such an argument as you are claiming. My argument is that it is absurd to make an assertion without a basis . The assertion about loopt was such an assertion. (To satisfy your model: 1. Google is coming out with a new produc

Exactly. Why would they buy Alpha? Here you have two powerful companies, Wolfram and loopt. Google has interests in technologies similar to what these two companies offer. They didn't buy/license loopt's technology, so why should they buy/l

Didn't the article discuss cloaking? Even if you did optimize the time and keyword, country would be intensely difficult.

What's your point? That they must buy one startup in each area in which they are interested? They don't have to buy anything.

You would have thunk Google would have bought loopt, too.

I wish this weren't FORCED on us, because there have been times when I'd like to simply reply to some benign thread where people are asking for information, and then get back to work. The best solution would be to put a chatterous widget on

It was popular from the start. You cannot correlate any release of a feature to this subjective shooting through the roof to which you are referring. Or, if you can, I would be interested in seeing the data.

How much would it cost them to pay someone to research this information? Probably it would take up a few hours a week. So maybe something like 3hrs / week * $20 / hr * 4 weeks = ~$240/month. And don't hesitate to give them a widget linking

Be more observant in your daily routine. Analyze everything your friends and family say and don't overlook any problem they may have, because it could become your idea and something people want. Just ask questions and listen and something i

Ah, ok. I told a business exec I knew I was doing a startup and he recommended a company in the Pittsburgh area which would "grow your idea" for 51% (i.e. control of the company). When some suits are in control, it would seem that it is no

That's not true. SEPTA has token kiosks. There are at least three of them at Frankford Station in Northeast Philly. (Though I wouldn't hesitate to agree Philly needs to upgrade to at least a magnetic card system.)

Just like with C, there are definitely talented coders out there who can make PHP behave correctly. Sadly, they are a minority. Many of them move on to other languages and frameworks. What does that mean? I'll take the compliment, but I'm
