   1. Awesome stuff. Keep iterating. 2. Honest feedback: Your category titles seem straight out of a topic modeling paper (see: David Blei). That is to say, as a fellow computer scientist, I get why they are what they are... but they're not ve

   I think that's because GV merely provides free texting without integrating other IM services.

   The inconsistencies in enforcement that appear, time and again, to give a free pass to heavyweight competitors have to be breaking a law somewhere. Isn't this what racketeering and monopoly laws are supposed to prevent? If any lawyers are o

   If I put aside how I'd prefer the world to be and accept it for how it actually is, I'm inclined to agree with you, bluekeybox. Here's a question for the self-taught self promoters on HN: Is there a good book that coaches you about how to l

   I've been using Scala full time for about 8 months now, and I've found it to be a very nice language. As someone who has never learned a functional language before, it took a while to get used to some of the language features that are more

   You can get frequent flyer points even if you're not the one in the seat? I always thought that points weren't transferrable.

   I'm in exactly that spot right now. So the question is, does it make sense to front the money and start advertising early, when the product is still not as featureful as you want it to be?

   Flying to Thailand and spending an entire week taking $18 flights back and forth between two cities seems like a pretty incredible cost to pay for First Class seats for a year. I suppose if I was a consultant and flew every week, I might fe

    I know many reports claim that many iPhone apps "steal" your private information. Beluga is the first iPhone app I've ever used where I've actually seen it happen before my eyes. I signed up for Beluga while on a ski trip with a bunch of fr

    I'm really looking forward to seeing this project develop. It has the potential to spawn a whole host of "webby" editing components.. As Rasmus aluded, in-browser editors aren't really tractable right now, but if everything about Kod but th

    What a cool idea. It would be a great community service if clusters of experts on HN occasionally got together at a planned time to collaborate on howto docs for various domains.

    Calling this an "open letter" seems like an abuse of the term. Or else they're taking themselves way to seriously.

    I was out of school for 3 years before going back to pursue a PhD. It can be done, but you're going to have to put in a lot of work the first year getting back into the swing of academia, and even more if you're going back to specialize i

    I agree. $80,000 a month in mobile ads is a lot of impressions.

    How does app-store SEO work? I sell some apps on the app store, but I've never tried to market them (and have pretty anemic sales as a result). Does SEO tend to be black hat (hire people to rate it?) or ad-driven?

    It sounds like a good story waiting to be told, not embarrassing. So many of our lives are spent following the path society has carved out for us; it's refreshing and interesting to hear about someone who had a desire outside of the mainstr

    Here's a "help wanted" post instead of a "for sale": I want to do a research-oriented tech podcast but I'm looking for a cool name. If anyone can think of one (and has the domain to match), I'd be willing to pay as much as I can scrape toge

    I was just checking out their other site, decafsucks.com. They have a pretty slick "scroll to the bottom to auto-load more content" feature like Slashdot. What's cool is that everything (tabs, ajax paging) is done via the anchor in the URL,

    I just downloaded and ran the project, and to be honest, I didn't see more UX work than what could have been done in an afternoon's worth of googling around for some templates.

    Because its unique, but not too unique. That's the naming suite spot. Just be thankful the trend isn't burrito flavors.

    Is the convention of beginning a reply with "This." a Reddit meme? I'm beginning to see this more and more and it always irks me for some reason. Isn't an up-vote on the comment the correct way to say "This."? Forgive the meta-comment, I'm

    It is nice to see the Pirate Bay people experimenting with models that enable profit generation but still give people free content.

    In order to submit content to be "Flattred", you have to become a paying member of the site -- a clever hook to pull in tippers at the same time they're pulling in content authors.
