i heard that tesco was planning to put carbon footprint on all their product labels. has this been implemented? do they generally have an environmentally friendly or social good philosophy about them, or is this new? (my first thought when

I was curious about the no passwords feature so I started a page. I logged out, and then tried to create a page with the same family name. Wow- still valid. "username" isn't a limited resource. neat. passwords/usernames are rolled into a si

do you not believe that derogatory words exist? maybe you see no reason to be angered or annoyed when someone calls you names, but handling words maturely does not mean that you haven't been insulted. let's suppose there is an objective tru

while i applaud the general spirit of the blog post, cringely's examples don't exactly make sense. on the one hand he is admits to signing up for 'spam' newsletters to keep a pulse (is this because it's useful or more obsessiveness?). but h

snap. I guess the same could be said of "Emo," but programming has more of a history of (blithely) excluding females. I'm happy to see I'm not the only one who did a double take.

maybe it could be a preference. i personally run a greasemonkey script that not only opens links in a new tab, but inserts a topbar so i can vote and get to comments from the article page.

i'm on MA's state health insurance. i hear it would be pretty killer if i actually had a hospital visit...which to me defeats the whole purpose of health insurance. i don't care about the small beans for doctor visits. i just don't want to

to be successful one has to work hard and think. the trick is that anyone can do it. XYZ always seemed complex and unmakable to me. After making XYZ it seemed like the simplest thing in the world. After a while more and more things were mak

that's a good point, but i bet that could be resolved, too. i like the show_all option. the more transparency the better. we still want to be careful not to squander the resources of clarity and lack of information.

What do ya'll think of the voting part? A single ranking of companies makes sense if I wanted to throw money at someone, but if I'm volunteering I want to find a good match. That means a more personalized algorithm combing project missions

Thanks for replying Ramit. There are many things one could do, but you're at least trying one thing, so I salute you. I still think "I will teach you to be rich" is an odd domain name and motto, but I'll pass that off as part of the mysteri

this is exactly what i thought when i saw the title on hn's front page. the domain name smells of pyramid scheme. that said, when i went to the actual site it looks genuinely community oriented. this business guy seems both slick and busine

by using quotes you prevent google from not searching on the complete phrase. this is a better comparison: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=The+Triumph+of+Robe...

I personally find the problem of 'spam' or 'trolling' to be a small part of 'off-topic' posting. HN and digg don't have categories, right? So the on-topic material is quite broad. (Even better, personally, is permitting categorization such

slashdot has a neat karma system for evaluating, and thus altering visibility of, comments. If a user is active for at least some period of time, and that activity is not overzealous nor too infrequent, he or she is added to a lottery. Win
