Isn't stack overflow in the top 100 sites in terms of traffic? While it might not be mainstream, it's already huge.

Why do people think PR and coverage is so important? It's not at all obvious to me that techcrunch has anything to do with who actually succeeds, they really don't do real coverage of early stage startups- it's just PR Newswire plus trollin

What are these intensive graduate-level studies of which you speak? Because it's certainly not business school. Although if you could get in to HBS then drop out as soon as the tuition is due (not sure how this is structured) to go do techs

What this says to me is you're really not ready or wanting to do something else. Sure, there's some risk- but trust me, you probably underrate the risk of your megacorp job. Losing my lame but safe job was the best thing that ever happened

They rarely happen in the "stranger danger" sense, which is really the only way the physical strength is defining any difference between men and women, as opposed to the social power difference being the factor that makes women more at risk

Fend themselves off from what attack? Oh yeah, a straw (wo)man attack. How is your argument not part of "the culture that breeds feeling of ownership by men of women"? Simply spectacular invocation of rape culture arguments, not that I've e

It's like google wants to remind you what search was like prior to their participation. Webmaster forums are particularly funny example of this style of design which is almost aggressively search-unfriendly.

I can only imagine how many links facebook login has across the web from their widgets. Don't think we have to worry about them falling out of the top spot for that query, in fact if they did google would likely get a visit from the DOJ soo

Search term in domain name should not have as much value as it currently does. Along similar lines, I think link anchor text is way overweighted as it's fairly easy to game for commercial searches and not at all common for the type of "edit

People can switch to bing, but that doesn't mean advertisers can (unless they are trying for an obviously suboptimal choice). Only Google search has ad volume and broad scope sufficient for most of those spending the bulk of search advertis

This makes a lot of sense strategically- as an excel power user it's hard to imagine google docs really ever catching up with excel, but that's not how most people use office. Excel really is a fantastic product, and when used with the exce

It would, and I think their lack of action in this area makes it clear that google must not want to combat duplicate/scraped content. It's in their best interest (short-term, I don't know if it will be long term) to let people do whatever u

Anchor text seems to be a more reliable predictor of spam or bought links rather than page quality for e-commerce sites. It's unbelievable how much crap is out there. Great example with JCP for personalized jewelry, seems like there's no wa

The thing about golf is that practicing six hours doesn't mean you got six hours of practice- you need to play rounds, which take several hours but are only really ~30 minutes of "golf practice" at most...golf is interesting because the ath

Perhaps you're thinking about luck wrong: of course he did things, but people who are looking for credit are probably more likely to make wrong moves than people who are willing to admit that not everything is in their hands. Luck is way, w

i don't think this name is good for SEO since it's such a generic term; but it really shouldn't matter given the amount of money they have, and being a primarily mobile app. they're coming up 10th for "color" right now, while it's cool to b

I like that the past discussion and submissions are considered- but I'm not sure that the cross-posting is actually discouraging the posting of material that isn't genuinely new? Seems like it tends to encourage discussion in the new thread

While I'm quite glad you post the previous discussions, as I wasn't around HN when these were first posted - do you think "All have comments." is necessary? My initial thought upon seeing this is that you are trying to imply that we shouldn

I don't think unions would be necessarily happy with single payer- I wouldn't be surprised to see most (non-public sector, at least) unions cease to exist before long if single payer becomes a reality. Negotiation of benefits is one of the
