I can't tell whether you're just being tongue-in-cheek, or perfectly serious. I hope the former.

Whoops, looks like that hasn't been working for a year now. Which is probably the last time I used it.

The problem with that, is again, spam. How do you differentiate fake votes from real ones? You can do per-IP limiting, and probably other things I'm not aware of (please comment about them), but it's still pretty open to abuse I'd say.

Is there a niche for a mechanical engineer who can also program decently in this space? I recently graduated as a mechanical engineer, and have a passion for programming, so I've been looking for ways to combine the two,. But honestly, I ha

This is a really amazing piece of software, especially when you couple it with Sunflow rendering. You can get absolutely stunning 3D visuals whether or not you're at all artistic. All you need to do is define a few short rules, and you ofte

Instead of rate-limiting, there are two other options that solve the GP's concerns: the high water mark which controls the maximum queue length and the swap size, which saves messages to disk when the queue is full. http://ap

I just went throught gitolite's readme, and I don't see any reason why a lone dev might want to use it, since it seems to be built for managing teams with access control needs. Doing it manually for me just means (on the server): mk

About starting a business on F1: you can do it if you're on OPT and got your EAD card. Being self-employed is noted as one way to keep your status as an F1 with OPT (as 90 days unemployment means you're out of status), besides getting a job

After I started working on my idea, I found a firefox plugin with over 1 million downloads doing something extremely similar. And they had 12 guys with angel investment working on it too. Yesterday I found Google has a plugin to do it as we

Short of replacing the way toolbars work on IE now, I think the only solution for all the toolbars that already exist is for users to hate them as much as we do. Perhaps some sort of user education would help? But many people don't seem to

Submit it as a separate post to HN, with a catchy title and try to catch people's attention. That is, if you haven't done that already.

Make an app-store, but for web applications. You can fill it to begin with using affiliate links to existing web apps. Once you get a decent number of people using it, you can allow people with new web apps to advertise there, or charge for

I'd like to know more about what other ad networks were appraised, and why they were no good. I'm going to have to rely on ad networks for my own web app, at least for a while, and it would be pretty helpful if there was was decent customer

I agree about crowdsourcing > algorithms, obviously. Yeah, I'm planning to have a bookmarklet, iframe and browser extension UIs all available. The final UI is in no way set, and probably won't look exactly like the demo. Lots of people

Very interesting. I think it would be difficult to help create an internet presence for those who don't already have some, whether in a community or not. But in the case of disconnected blogs and other content, where a presence does exist,

We just started telling people about the site two days back via Facebook/StumbleUpon and I guess HN now, and we have just above 40 signups so far. Conversion is pretty low, but that's expected without any real content. Need to fix that, add

I think I'll be adding my demo to the home page soon, once I polish it. Otherwise, it can be pretty confusing. There is probably going to be more than one way to use it, but the main way would be a browser extension. A web toolbar is also g

I think you've done this backwards... problems that need solving tend to come with their own niche - the people who want the solution. I actually intentionally worded it backwards from the usual as a minor form of headline bait, which fai

Yeah, I had looked into their API before and it's a good option. Using tags to figure out the related links could give decent results to start off with. The results will be suboptimal though, as any automated approach would be, since "relev
