I guess here, it's the definition of need. Do you need to track your users every movement more than you need them to learn about your product?

Was using Opera. Tried in Firefox too. Neither worked. If the hyperlinks were actually hyperlinks, then it'd work.

Looks neat, but with all that javascript, I can't watch the videos or even see the youtube page, so even though I'd like to earn more, I can't.

Interesting. Wouldn't this also reduce the validity of this 5 minute IQ test? I suppose there could be physical issues, like poor vision or tactile sensitivity that would affect a test like this. So I wonder, perhaps people who can see be

I suppose the test measures the ability to differentiate details among items. I can see how this would be a sign of intelligence. If two people cannot understand how two things are different, then they cannot learn. Learning is about assi

I'm not advocating total awareness, though that would be cool and it is achievable according to some philosophies. I'm advocating the pursuit of an honest interpretation of the world. We know there aren't little trolls living in our walls

I'm not sure I like the idea of inventing external imaginary beings that grant us extraordinary powers for no other reason than it makes it easier to accept those powers. It seems dishonest.

Increase in wealth for whom? The upper class or the middle class or the lower class? I think qui bono is the central question in this issue. The wealthy in America benefit, but the middle and lower class does not. Research shows, as t

It will increase consumption in those countries, but not necessarily consumption of american goods. I think that money will benefit America more if it stays in America. This will happen if we employ more Americans who spend all of thei

This is a very biased article. The author neglects to mention that a very large portion of income generated by foreign born workers is sent home by those workers. The money doesn't stay in America to benefit the American economy. It also

I think the limit on H1B's will benefit large multi-nationals and harm smaller American based companies. I also think it will benefit the American born engineer. The multi-nationals like IBM, Cisco, et al have already moved many of their e

What's the obsession with constant growth? Why does wikipedia need to keep growing? It's not going to disappear if its user base stops growing. People will still edit. People will still read it. It'll probably get better if it slows down

I think you're wrong on this one. I think the OP is on target and your joke is an example of its validity. I also think your posting of typical responses is you establishing your position in the HN hierarchy. Since you can list all of th

I really do not intend to take away from the awesomeness of this announcement, but I am curious. How big are these companies? Bing Search (3,150 results) http://www.bing.com/search?q=avecora&go=&form=QBLH&#... Google (30,000):

Maybe they only paid $50,000 for it or something. When people see "Acquires, yada yada..." they expect it is for millions. If someone sees 5 figures there or even 6, they are disappointed.

This is the future of all websites. People now use facebook or myspace for themselves , why? Because storing that data on their own website is tough when trying to incorporate it with everyone else as well. The companies retain ownership

Google shoots first and doesn't ask questions later. I'm not defending google. I've been anti-google for years. I'm just saying why they disable the account. It's the easiest, automated solution to combat lots of problems like click-frau

It's because visitors from those sites are worthless. They may click on the ads, but they aren't going to buy anything and even if they do, the conversion rate is so low that the advertisers get mad at Google.

There's another instance of this where flukes infect ants making them want to climb blades of grass where they are eaten by cows. Here's a diagram of the lifecycle of this odd creature: http://workforce.cup.edu/Buckelew/dicrocoelium_dendr
