That idea is actually implemented - unfortunately you need to login to see it. Once you login (which supports OAuth & OpenID), under settings you can turn on the "Group By Company" feature. Yes, it isn't intuitive. We're overhauling the

I don't think you were down-modded because of hating BitTorrent, just your original comment could've used more... attention. Links & facts are great - vague statements aren't all that interested on HN and tend to be deloved. But you're

This kind of thread is exactly why I work at http://linkup.com/ - which is a job search engine that works by only including jobs found on company websites. Let me give a quick example of what that means: Twitter has 34 job openings ( http

From all I've seen, I would bring home these points: 1) Have a full-time job and do the startup on the side until you're simply not able to anymore. 2) Read, read, read about modern successes and failures. Studying management of the 80s doe

I don't think anyone has ever questioned Microsoft's ability to take on the competition - or even beat the competition as they did in the Netscape wars. Rather, I think we're permanently jaded against the IE browser not because of its techn

Can someone please do an analysis on how long the internet would stay up? That'd be the difference between surviving comfortably and discovering my inner-Hobo.

On LinkUp, we put together a search engine that searches job openings with all YC companies ( http://www.linkup.com/lists/Y_Combinator_Startups ). LinkUp only searches company websites for job openings (purpose being to keep out duplicates

I would say if you had launched this 3 weeks ago, I'd deem you kind of the hill. But in light of HARO's relaunch, I think I'd drop/halt development until you decide what features make you different & better than the new incarnation of H

I couldn't agree more. The point of the contest wouldn't be to see who guessed right, but to see if any of the parties are so far off with their estimates that they should be embarrassed.

I can't understand how anybody could release an Android app with no screenshots! I know we're all coders and not salesmen, but we all experience the frustrations of liking a project and skipping it because it gives the impression of being a

Who is going to take the lead in setting up an independent analysis for Compete.com vs Quantcast vs Comscore and see who has the most accurate data when compared to the raw web server data? I think the test should compare 20 1k, 20 10k, and

One of their funniest pieces of "buy your way into being adored by the press" is their reporting on the job search industry - http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2009/1/J... . But looking at Compete.com ( http://siteanalyti

Their bots have just become incredibly greedy, while Google is becoming very tidy. Despite a growth of content on LinkUp.com, Google has gone from consuming 8gigs of my bandwidth in September 2009 to being on track to use only 4gigs this mo

The beauty of IE is that once you've found a bug, there's nothing you can do about it. I gave up trying to bring the bug I stumbled across - http://crashie8.com/ - to Microsoft's attention after I kept hearing "oh, your HTML isn't valid."
