Thanks for the feedback. We agree about the pics and had been toying with the idea a little. We're working now on a way to integrate some into the landing page.

ed209's Feedback. I haven't thought much about the concept, so I won't comment on that. Regarding the design, it doesn't really say 'dinner party' to me. A good way to start is to look at google images for 'dinner party' http://www.google.

I think Interview Street ( http://interviewstreet.com ) handles this now. If you click on "jobs" in the banner at the top of HN there is a link out.

I had to report LinkedIn as spam in gmail because no amount of unsubscribing would stop them from spamming me. I have an account already but they refuse to leave me alone about it. Their tactics for most things are just sleazy. They only se

Yea, that one is particularly bazaar. It's probably gone now. They just crop up and vanish randomly from what I can tell. Duly noted on the best practices advice. I should have initiated with an example.

I would do this if I could subscribe to particular categories. Special:Random is just too random for me. It rarely hits something that I would actually read. A subscription modle like stumbleupon would work well.

My current start page is google with instant on. But, interestingly, it used to be mint.com. I became very addicted to mint for a period of about 3 months. After that initial phase, I never used it again. Maybe I burnt myself out.

[edit: actual explaination and not just an example]The following is an example of what doesn't make sense to me. Although, I realize that this could be explained by flags that I'm not aware of. 47. Ask HN: Does anyone use Opera browser? 3p

I commonly refresh the page and get a nearly brand new list of items. Most of which I read weeks ago. I'm just wondering if it isn't some sort of feature meant to give a second (third, fourth, nth?) chance to items which may have been pushe

I think the whole idea of an aggregator is that some users will prefer the new submissions and some will prefer the aggregated results. Neither is best but the "new" section is required for the model.

This article is horrible. It is one of those "X Most _blank_" lists that are only meant to grab attention and bring in the ad clickers. Relevant/accurate content was clearly an afterthought.

I fully agree. A lot of people grow up in a religious bubble (I did) and sometimes it requires bold statements to jar them into doing a little introspection. Defaults are powerful and it takes something equally powerful to cause a person to

Seems an unnecessary clarification to me since it doesn’t add anything. I’ll admit, however, that I am particularly fond of his boldness because it’s a good way to create awareness - which I think is his intention.

Should we call them rationally impaired? For Dawkins to continue with the conversation, there had to be a way to refer to the collective and the interviewer already used the word, "stupid". Why stop the discussion just to reassign the group

When I was looking at it, I felt like it should be something like, "Find the airports that matter". It's easy to say and it's what I actually want you to find for me. I don't care if you're finding airports I've never heard of or if you're

I prefer to dress as if I may be presented with an opportunity to take a nap, in which case I will want to be very comfortable. Seriously though, I will likely wear shorts and a tee-shirt.

Because I'm at work and can't use my preferred browser (chrome), I am forced to know nothing about the site other than the creator’s appreciation for internet memes and the sites apparent need for canvas support. You should really make sure

Looks great. I love the subtle rainbow effect on the left side of the header. Those little things are what usually impresses me the most because they're so subtle I'm surprised anyone ever thought to do it. I think the message is perfect. T

Currently at work so I'm using IE8. It seems to be completely unusable. I hate thinking about it just as much as the next guy, but it's probably wise to support at least 2 versions back for IE. I recommend keeping the landing much simpler a

I think some people are just inspired to build things and know that a dependable team is necessary if they want their (eventual) idea to have any kind of chance. Similarly, I was inspired to write songs, but the type of music that I wanted

It's actually up to you whether or not YC made the right decision. If you stop now, they were right to not accept you. If you keep pushing forward, you can make them wrong. If you push forward and get some traction, they might realize their

Your right. But holographic wills will simply be carried out by the survivors unless there's a reason to involve a third party like a lawyer. That's why in almost all cases, will do not need to be official.

We're doing a similar service so we've looked into it a bit. We found that as long as it isn't contested, nearly anything counts as a will. If your will is likely to stir things up among the beneficiaries though, you should definitely get a

This is why I decided to make one of these. I wanted to do it, but I was too worried that it could go wrong. We're doing this but without the "keep-alive" emails. You just sign up, and we know when you die. This unfortunately limits us to t

There are a surprising number of services that do this. No one seems to have gotten any traction though. We decided to make it a video service instead of an email service. We're actually launching our version this friday. If you read this a
