I try to tell people this all the time. It's a great source for information, just don't judge it by the front-page and definitely unsubscribe from a lot of the default subreddits. Up to about early 2011, I depended on a vast netw

This is great! I clicked all the way through to the end. Instead of 164 separate html pages I would have just 1 and used javascript to step through the panels. Could even lazy load the other images so initial page load is faster. But tha

I've found that when signing up for things, a lot sites don't allow the "+" in the email. They'll throw a email validation error. But at one point this was a good technique, I just think many sites have either don

how do you keep track of all the emails? and did you always do this or did you start at one point having to go back through a lot of old accounts to change emails and passwords?

Very good interview, I'm glad he did it. I wonder how well trained in fraud detection are the people who handle the calls/requests at hosts are. Also, why aren't hosts implementing something like 2-factor authentication, if

You hit it on the nail, at least for me. I love the post-apocalyptic film genre because it throws the current system of society under the bus and makes the characters focus just on survival and then a possible rebuilding of society in a wh

yeah the title is misleading. The "food stamps" part was when his family first immigrated from the Ukraine. So it was when he was a child and I don't know how long that lasted. But looks to me that his post-school adult year

Thank you, I was just about to mention this book. None of this is new and I can only imagine what he would think of the today's media. He died in 2003 and even though the internet was going strong back then it has greatly surpassed t

has any small/indie game developer here had experience with their license? I'm curious how much it'll cost to publish to a console system. Their website says it's a per-case basis and I'm not actively developing an

cool, this is more my speed. I don't really want to join a gym cause I get bored in them but I live in a city where I can walk or bike to work (by subway it's 30min) and I'll probably try and do stuff like that more often.

It's also probably why we read sites like HN, so we can feel like we know something others don't... or know something before others.

wow this all sounds so familiar and I wonder if this explains certain parts of my personality. I did Ecstasy A LOT for the summer of 2000, and then randomly here and there after that (now it has been a couple years since my last time). I

I'm trying to be optimistic about it. I like that they are going somewhere new with controllers. Already I can imagine those Y and B buttons not being easy/natural to get to. and of course not having at least one actual joystick

so can I pass Samuru a link to a particular Amazon product and it'll tell me how many of the reviews have a similar writing style therefore possibly being fake?

my bank tracks my IP and notices when I'm logging in from somewhere new and asks me security questions or sends my phone a code like Google's dounle-auth (which I use). And then it asks me if I want to remember the computer I&#x2

I would love to see them tackle t-shirts and dress shirts. I'm a tall (6'4") slim man and a lot of the times when I get a t-shirt there's so much extra material sticking out on my arms. I want it to wrap snuggly around

HackerMeter is an interesting concept. Curious to try it out edit: Logged in, I'm on the very first basic Fibonacci question and there's no support to submit my answer in JavaScript, seriously? I can understand not being to ac
