Sure, this rule will filter some false positives -- but on the whole it will surely give him a more interesting (and easy to evaluate) set of ideas.

I see this as evidence that no matter what change you make to a community website, some people are going to react against it. I half expect to see a facebook group: "One Million Strong Against The New HN!"

Not everyone lives in a physical community with enough (or any) potential co-founders. So, the next place to turn is one's virtual community. You can at least get the same initial trust of a HN user the way PG does: by their submissions, c

Based on my experience just this morning, yes. And don't neglect Javascript, either -- no matter how hard you try, you're not going to be able to avoid needing it. glances at copy of Simple and Direct on bookshelf Learn HTML, CSS, Javasc

Well, he's a personal branding guru, and "Gary Vaynerchuk is ambitious" is practically a summary of HIS personal brand, so at least in this case it helps him.

Camtasia Studio kicks the crap out of all the free products I've tried (Wink, CamStudio, some builtin Windows Media thing). It's easy and produces small, high-quality output files in just about any format you desire. I plan on trying some o

when you're writing HAML, you're programming more and marking up less . . .If you like programming and you don't like writing markup, then the advantage is you have more fun. I second that. I used Sinatra and HAML when I wrote Feedstompe

I didn't know about these -- I'd like to support it if I can find a way in Ruby. I'm looking into it.

Thanks man. I've been encouraged by the response so far, but also nervous. Let me know if you have any problems -- it's worked on all feeds I've tested except one: the friendfeed 'best-of-day' feed, which is both voluminous and heavy on h

We do have them, but a lot of people either don't notice them or would prefer to buy from a person. We also sell lesson packages, redeem special discount vouchers, do will-call, and answer questions. However, I do wonder sometimes if the o

Actually they are cool with it. Me and one other guy request the slow windows, everyone else hates them. He does consulting for restaurants, working up business plans and processes.

I sell lift tickets at a ski resort. Some of our ticket windows are not at the main resort & get about 5 customers on a slow day. Last week I built this: www.feedstomper.com I also get to ski for free at 3 of the top resorts in the U.S

I've evangelized various social webapps to my friends for years: Friendfeed, Tumblr, delicious, etc. Posterous is the first that I've seen immediate understanding, adoption, and excitement among them.

We're not really quite up to the task of "allowing" this or that to evolve just yet. (See drug-resistant strains of bacteria, the annual flu-shot crapshoot, etc)

I'm not proposing we optimize right now for this eventuality. I'm pointing out that the "PR gimmick" is something that actually has to happen at some point . That's just one obvious point at which it has to happen. Your somewhat glib res

You're at least partly right. Some treatments would plummet, some would remain expensive. We really have no idea, the market is so distorted and the perfect system will always be subject to debate. In my opinion, we can't ever have a true

Believe the FUD. In the U.S. an appendectomy can easily run you $20,000, and this is one of the most common non-elective surgeries. Then look at car accident stats and the cost of trauma care. Then look at new cancer incidence rates (there

Over some businesses it does have absolute power, in the Orwellian sense (absolute power == the power to kill). Many people would argue that it's the fault of those businesses for designing their business to utterly depend on a high organic

Not sure why you got downvoted for that. It's true -- and we've already been approached by a charity about that possibility (that's separate from the option to donate upon cashout). We're excited about this use case -- though like some oth
