You could also have a context header on top saying something like "Join [User] on Nightweb" or "Hey, [User] is on Nightweb!" and then your website follows explaining the concept.

I don't think of it as "anonymous" networking, but more as a network that can't be controlled or brought down. Especially by relying on bluetooth and future, improved peer-to-peer connection technology, we could be free from carriers and IS

In this case it would have sounded way cool. But I would append js to any library developed in CoffeeScript simply because it's the target of compilation, and usable by any and all JavaScript developers. This isn't a library, but if it were

I've always wished I had had a sister. Most times I picture her younger, but Brian makes me reconsider. I wish I had had a sister like Brian's, and my best wishes go to him and family, this was a powerful piece and like a good movie it made

Cutting edge can be mildly innovative. Facebook is somewhat innovative in my scale; as far as I know they came up with the timeline and tagging people. But for me really innovative are Kickstarter, Twitter, StackOverflow. Companies that wen

I have been wanting to get into bioinformatics, but there's something I miss coming from webdev: the ability to create something over a few weeks. I don't mean I want to discover something new, and I'm not sure I'd want to get into research

I like the theme but indeed this article misses out on so many opportunities to make a good case. The innovators they are picturing are the "corporate innovators", which is different from the young kids disrupting markets altogether. The fo

Or the reset password form can simply say an email has been sent to the relevant address, regardless of whether said address actually exists in their database. I've always suspected this is how most of them work.

Well, if it is as you say, in a way it worries me more. Maybe they have declared all-out war in these terms before, I wouldn't know. In any case, if it isn't this time, for how long more? If nobody takes them seriously, the defenses will be

It's interesting how every other story on HN's frontpage right now seems to dwarf in relevance, compared to this. The full weight of a declaration of war simply stated like this stopped me in my tracks. And coming from a completely unpredic

I think the problem with a newsletter of design lessons is that there is too much game in town already, so it becomes harder and harder to pick and choose (except for people who know who you are, if you think there's a good market for that

I would pay for lessons in the context of design critique. Meaning, I have (attempted) to design something, you offer harsh critique bracketed by tailored lessons. I think you'd have a good market since a lot of devs try their hand at desig

No one needs an iPhone as a dedicated cellphone either (surely you can get any other low end device, and Androids sync to Google out of the box.) Moreover, the name 'watch' isn't misleading in that it's kept highly relevant to all you descr
