We're experiencing some missed communication. I believe that's because "how it should look" encompasses two separate aspects -- functionality, and visual appeal. My comment about helping aesthetics was specifically regarding border width. I

Now see, you just described me perfectly with everything you said except for that last part about how many pixels the border should be. As a programmer I'm great at all of it except border width type decisions -- which btw I don't think are

Hmm, good thoughts. I think you and I are thinking pretty much the same. Design is not art? Hmm... I think Leonardo da Vinci would possibly disagree with that. But maybe you're saying "design" is more mathematical in nature -- something eit

I was thinking of doing something like this. I'm glad to see the idea being nicely implemented. If I may, I'd offer a few suggestions which would make this fit more exactly with the vision I had. Let me know if you need any help. 1. The hom

Well, that's a good question, but it depends on whether you mean a graphic designer or a "user experience" person. A graphic designer can make most any site look nicer, but that doesn't mean the same thing as providing them with a better

(and craigslist has a design, it's just a different kind) Yes, I agree craigslist has a design. It's a functional design , the kind I'm great at. What I'm not so good at is art/graphic design. I could have built craigslist from scratch c

This is a great comment, but I'm still unclear about the intended meaning of "designer". Are we only talking about graphic/artistic design, or just product design? The two are not the same (IMO). For example, I'm a programmer at the core, c

lionhearted, you're missing the point. This is not a partisan issue. Please tell me things are not so divided in this country that people read partisanship into everything, even as far as HN. T.A.R.P. was started and passed under George W.

More than those two are quoted.

The source doesn't matter as I'm providing quotes from a range of well respected economists, including Nobel laureate Paul Krugman, and Christina Romer, former chairman of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers.

Here you go... Economists agree: Legislation Reid led to passage prevented economic collapse Excerpts: Krugman: Government intervention helped avert "second Great Depression." In his August 9, 2009, New York Times column, Nobel laureate

Plus, the "total collapse" argument was BS. Wrong, and many well respected economists will tell you you're wrong.

The bank bailouts appear to be widely unpopular. I can only guess this is because people don't truly grasp what was happening, or what the alternative would have been. My congressman was one who initially voted against TARP, and I communica

This is one of those things that makes me slap my forehead and ask why didn't I think of that. :) It looks good. The main thing I would critique is that it looks like there is a price barrier to entry. I'd change the 'Sign Up' button text t

I don't think the financial crisis would have occurred, at least not to the degree it has, without the problematic credit ratings of the toxic securities -- from major ratings agencies like Moody's, Fitch, and S&P. This from the article

I have an affinity for numbers, as I'm sure many hackers do, but the dual score doesn't look/feel right to me. Might we have the average show up only if it drops below a certain level? Possibly in red, to really emphasize the point? This

Er, I just signed up to page99test.com, and two "page 99's" in I think I'm hooked. This site isn't launched? Perhaps bloggergirl should do a "Review my startup" here on HN, because I already have feedback: I already want to read more than o

I'm not sure what answer you're looking for me to say. Networking is simply a tool, and like any tool it only provides the potential to be of benefit. But having the tool available is certainly advantageous. As for apathetic people I'm no

Yes, Facebook users did have that power. Whether or not they took advantage of it is another story, but if all Facebook's users decided to leave without a TOS change I bet they would have got the changes because there is no FB without users

Exactly the sentiment I was going to express. Thank you. There is a story I'm trying to remember that goes something like this: There were two abusive rulers looking out over their people, and one suggests to the other that maybe all the sl

I'm a L.A. native, and I had no clue about this. Great story! I found a video detailing the events from your links: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1442683884005576315...
