Based on the number of upvotes your submissions get, I would just step back a while and try to understand what the community likes to read. You're really thinking about it all wrong. Don't limit yourself to 1-3/day. Limit yourself to partic

You made an account 18 days ago and you're posting 10-15 posts a day? Maybe you should try to get involved in the community a bit. I consider HN a place to talk about news. Not post it. You post it if you happen to be the one who found some

I think the "Unknown or expired link" error page should be a detailed explanation of the issue. If it will never be fixed, maybe we could at least get people to stop asking about it.

A Forbes article has to sound really interesting for me to deal with their website just to read it. They also break the back button and screw up my history. They really are a shining beacon of user abuse and should be known as an example of

I'm using linear algebra in a CRUD app. In short, the app generates a lot of math problems. I use some of the more basic aspects of linear algebra to do this. Matrix equations, etc.. Linear algebra is used extensively in certain types of so

It's great to see this on HN where there are literally fonts as low as 7pt being used... Everyone keeps saying that it's fine as long as zoom functions correctly. Well it's also fine to use a font size widely accepted as readable. 7pt? Real

There are going to be some really good mock testimonials created for this service. They'll probably look like an eHarmony commercial but they'll say really funny things about how great their divorce was and how everyone should try Wevorce f

I'm not sure what the issue is here. I bet checking and scoring based on a combination of grammar, spelling, and a rough relationship to the topic at hand would produce pretty good results. Further, if you feel you were graded unfairly, the

Doing statistical analysis in MATLAB won't require your girlfriend to learn how to program. She'll most likely use a MATLAB toolbox that provides a graphical interface. The most she'll probably need to know is how to create data structures

What am I missing? If it requires knowledge of recent news, I've been travelling for the past 2 days and have had very limited access to the world outside of my own head. So far my investigation has lead me to the bottom of mailboxapp.com's

Not sure if you can still get it but about a year ago I bought an Asus U56E. I think I paid about $700 for it at the time (probably pick it up cheaper now) and I think it matches what you're looking for. Good design, high quality constructi

I love that kparikh, wittman1984, and pmichailidis show up every year or so to submit and comment on the Lightspeed announcement and then disappear. I understand what they're doing it and I guess it's fine. I just find it very funny.

I think a good discussion would be whether or not you should use an all-cap font or not. I already disagree with peeters. I hate the idea of copying something I see in all-caps and pasting something which could be any combination of caps an

I can't imagine what advantage a short intro to python/django could possibly give you in trying to hire a developer. Do you already have partial implementation of your idea in python? Given python, I can see why you're interested in django.

You want people to pay $10 for nothing in return. Usually that sort of thing is reserved for charities. I wouldn't buy one of these just to line your pockets. I would buy one to support a cause I believe in assuming enough of the money went

I think the issue is that most people won't search for the exact phrase [oil change coupons] which has a US search volume of about 3600/mo. Your 'broad' level search shows anything related to 'oil change coupons'. The issue is that the othe

Looking at Google's keyword tool shows that the search volume is 1.) low (~3600/mo) and 2.) highly competitive. I'm not sure how well this is going to work out. To most shops, coupons are probably more about loyalty than new business. They

I've made deals with restaurants/bars/chefs/etc before and one piece of advice I can share that could be a huge help is to find an 'insider'. Not sure where you're living, but in certain scenes (food towns) there will be an abundance of foo

I think you need something you can charge for immediately, like eduardordm said. I understand that you have a marketplace of sorts where two parties must meet prior to a transaction but it's very unclear what it is you're doing. The fact th

I'm not sure anyone would confuse those things. I just think eventually, employable people will be greater than the number of jobs to perform. In a world where you've always received money, food, etc as a result of your contributions, how d

This makes me wonder what a world without jobs will look like. Will a good quality life, food, shelter, money, etc just be human rights?
