One thing I've found is that potential customers can visualize hypothetical products nicely, and can be quite responsive, especially if you are solving a pain point for them. So, for example, you're already underway with your project, but

From those guidelines: Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Politics are off topic, but I'm wondering if this might fit under the "interesting new phenome

Was the original post listed as an "Ask HN/Review" type thread which theoretically invites constructive feeback, or just a "check this site out" submission? I'm wondering why it went dead.

people here are very serious about everything I would change that to "people here behave seriously about everything". It's not that HN members themselves are serious prudes. I was a member of Digg in its heyday laughing right along with

I upvoted this because I'm for any change which can help fix the downvote problem, which I think negatively impacts a healthy commenting community. However, my preferred solution would be slightly different. I would rather have no karma awa

Very nice. This combines two of my interests, book writing and tech startups. :) First impressions: the homepage looks good, nice and neat, but doesn't communicate "what's in it for me" to the user easy/fast enough. You have a great video d

Imagining a giant heat sink makes me think of something pretty dangerous... I picture any part of the heat sink sticking out of the water (I'm guessing it captures heat from the sun?) which becomes hot enough to heat several thousands of ga

I'm no expert, but it's simple. You just follow the company until the day their stock is available on the market, and buy. An interesting IPO was Google's. Usually, Wall St. banks get first shot at buying stock initially before it's availab

Irrational or not, my opinion is that the world would be 1000% better if we could somehow create an economy that rewarded young people for doing research into antibiotics half as well as it rewards them for creating social-networking widge

I enjoyed reading it too. For the wisdom teeth extraction, when not going to sleep, a trick I used was trying to recall the details of the more positive points of stories I'd read to keep the mind busy and happy. It helped me, at least. :

But there are bright minds working on new antibiotics, energy efficient cars, cheaper building materials etc. Some of the best and brightest minds are also smashing atoms in particle accelerators, charting the cosmos, composing symphonies

Here’s a problem: Many Americans can’t afford medical care. Er, not sure where the author has been since the November 2008 election, but President Barack Obama made tackling this decades long problem a signature issue of his presidency, a

I see... from the article: Research at the University of California, San Francisco, had already identified the fungus as part of the problem. And several RNA-based viruses had been detected as well. But the Army/Montana team, using a new s

Don't you USUALLY read editorial type news on the site you know, instead of SEARCHING for it? Yes, probably. Do you seriously think that "research and shopping" doesn't constitute overwhelming majority of searches? Yes, I do think so an

by jeromec 16y ago
I'm sorry, but I still think you are thinking small. Let's assume the type of site or query is not shopping or research related where a user must scroll, click, etc. for the site, and it's news type editorial. You're thinking users will pre

Savvy brand marketers would probably disagree with that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyQjr1YL0zg&feature=fvsr But that's besides the point. My point is that a high quality content site will not have any trouble receiving click-thro

by jeromec 16y ago
Why would I (as a visitor) need to click the site if I see what I searched for right there, on Google screenshot? Because that's not how people typically interact with websites. If it was, the World Wide Web would simply be made of small

by jeromec 16y ago
No, you're thinking small. First, the full page shows including ads. If anything potentially more sites and ads will receive a view as users mouse over results. The difference is a user doesn't have to go to a page and be annoyed with pop

I'm guessing the info is currently scraped from the 'threads?id=username' page, but the title to each story is already there after the word 'on'.

by jeromec 16y ago
Not bad. You should add the title of the thread along with the user's comment to give context. Also please position the user's name to the left. Most HN users are in the U.S. where people read left to right. That way I can glance at the str

This presents quite a quandary in deciding which is more secure: a 16-character semi-mnemonic memorizable sequence, or a 128-character random sequence that must be stored on a USB stick? Considering that the record for number of decimal p

To establish reasonable doubt all the defense has to do is come up with some alternative way all of your facts can be true without Bob having the key. I can think of two from the top of my head. 1. Bob has mischievous friends, or worse, ene

I don't think he is necessarily lying. I can see the computer room story playing out as described. There were five people apparently in the room, all female except for one male. The female with the printer problem saw the "worker" female wa
