For the fifth time on HN: Manhattan is the most dense housing in the US. The vast majority of Americans and most visitors to the states don't live in anything comparable. Further, unless you live in a prewar, lots of housing in Manhattan

Neighbors two blocks away are simply nothing like neighbors 2 inches of pressboard and a couple two-by-fours away. As for permanent neighbors, call the board or your landlord. Either should happily fix that problem for you.

Or people who live in the most dense housing in the US deciding they don't want randoms, particularly people from out of the city who often aren't aware of just how loud they are, frequently moving in and out as neighbors. As a former and

Wait, seriously, they didn't give you a kindle? Email them back and tell them to send you a kindle when they get serious. In fact, one of each model for testing. I have no idea what your app does, but they are going to be, if not already,

"Wordpress gets to define what is derivative." No. The combination of US law and wp's license decide what is derivative.

If you quantify, your raw pv numbers are free to you and to everyone else. I believe, but am not sure, that the privacy controls are granular enough to allow you to display eg visitors but not pageviews to the world at large. visit, eg, h

Cascading is nice, don't get me wrong, but you still know you're writing MR. And you're still far more involved in the details of getting data to and from than I would like.

I'm dubious. I don't use reddit, but I just skimmed the site. You're totally right, reddit has done a shit job allowing people to advertise. That being said, I have some experience with monetization, and forum traffic, dominated as it is

There are benefits to the business from good customer service, beyond word of mouth: I mostly buy things from newegg, amazon, zappos, and jcrew when given a choice, and don't even bother to comparison shop, because my time has value and it'

So is Texas. And yet, they haven't experienced anything like the housing bubble as experienced elsewhere. So your point is?

Stop getting your lies from Fox news. You're completely and utterly wrong. For starters, Fannie and Freddie had their share of the mortgage market plummet during the bubble years. The loans they've made performed much better than other sy

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. First of all, the "extraordinarily lenient" treatment is nothing like lenient if you happen to have a second mortgage, which was pretty common during the crisis. Second, banks can and do w

I don't think the gene arose in 40 years. Obviously it didn't, since the man is more than 40 years old. Instead, I think it's a gene that arose via happenstance and is suddenly much more useful.

Seriously? We're discussing warez sites on HN now? Half you people would throw a tantrum if some site published 0days or shared logins for your webapps. But it's OK if it's just someone else's books?

I don't know where your reading of the law is going wrong, but I know that isn't true at all. For example, our coop did not allow subleasing of rentals.

There will never be a hostel. That's why it's important to go to zoning board meetings / your local planning council. Just skim the meeting notes once a month and if there are new businesses opening near you, read what they are! In genera

The knowledge that there is huge variance in productivity level of programmers is kind of useless, because we mostly lack the ability to reliably measure true productivity. Similar to advertising: "I know I waste half of my advertising dol

That's because adobe are assholes. Don't think that avoiding/subverting user intent with respect to cookie management is anything but an intentional feature and selling point.

Wow. How on earth do these people not sack up, tell their boss to diaf, and walk out the door? Because honestly, if you allow people to use you like a punk, stop whining when they do. At will employment works both ways. It's not that I n
