   Anyone can submit such a post, though I don't know if job offers are frowned upon, or even upvoted. Adding a fun puzzle/challenge will probably help though ;) There are also the monthly "who's hiring" posts.

   The Simpsons has joked before about being made in Korean sweatshops. But more importantly this is a big win for Fox. They get the cred for getting Banksy (whatever that is worth), and more importantly loads of talk & coverage for their

   Makes sense, thanks. Seems a shame that there is no reasonable way to invest in the companies which have good potential for growth and profit, but have no clear exit.

   There is an incentive to lace it with anything that will increase weight and not be obvious to the user. There was a news report in the UK a while ago about people adding glass (or something like), IIRC it was well substantiated.

   Capitalism, Socialism, Libertarianism, Anarchism, Conservatism, etc... these labels are now so confused and bereft of concrete meaning that their use is largely counterproductive. If you want to say something political, say it, don't stick

    There are services that purport to do that, at least on the web. I think the term is 'reputation management'.

    Likewise, though I haven't "got away with it", because I haven't succeeded yet. But I'll show him, oh yes. And then he'll have to amend his advice to "no single founders unless they're really awesome".

    Yeah I wasn't expecting that much from SU, but I think I can do better. Good point that I need to give more thought to marketing however!

    I posted this because I was curious what people thought of the Elance approach, as I am looking to get my homepage redesigned. I made an Ask HN if anyone has recommendations for someone on a tight budget: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?i

    Good point. I'm not doing this because it seems legally dodgy. What I can do is provide a direct link to the text recipe, where available.

    Thanks, someone hitting it pretty hard but I think it should all be cool now. I'm still debating the scrolling box. The idea is to have all the results in one place, but I'm considering alternatives. May A/B test this some point soon. Resul

    Thanks, I'll sort out the autocomplete. The idea is that it provides a couple of things Google doesn't. 1. All results in one place, watch videos from across the web in one interface 2. Exclusivity of results - you know its all cooking and

    Thanks for the feedback. The Gordon Ramsay error is due to a last minute change (doh). In the meantime searching for 'ramsay' should give you the right results [ http://cookblast.com/cooking/ramsay ]. Edit: fixed. Thumbnails are in the work

    Excellent, any chance the 'saved' page can get a little improvement also? At the moment it often just times out for me.

    Agreed, I made the joyous leap to Python from writing crappy PHP programs, in no small part thanks to Dive Into Python. It took me from curiosity about Python, to excitement and real insight very quickly, I haven't looked back since.

    The best trick is to batch it. Fill your freezer with tasty, quality foods which can be made in nice big batches: stew, casserole, bolognaise (which can be quickly converted to chilli), curry, dal, etc. All of the above foods can be reheate
