But that's hard to record for the same reason that it's hard to get the community's opinion based on upvotes. If 1000 people read this page, 200 vote in favor 90 vote opposed you would say that the majority of people are in favor of Offer

No it's not a good thing. As far as whether HN should prevent this I don't know. I'm inclined to say that yes, there should be protections, but I don't know nearly enough about the issue to say. Potential Issues: (1) Maybe your comments we

For me (since there is no content generation) I just used my username. I agree with the creator that this method is worth trying since there really is no reason to need the security of a password. This solution eases the effort spent codi

I don't know what's typical but the best way to see if you're charging too little is to put in some bids for $60, then $65, and so on and see what happens. I have worked for a guy that was able to increase his prices nearly 25% (for new cus

I completely agree with you that Curriculum is an interesting, useful, and underutilized feature. However that is completely unrelated to what I said. Again, why do you make a submission with a title that you openly admit is link-baity, un

If you agree that the title is link-baity and it's your title why don't you change it? (Or for that matter why would you submit it with a link-bait title to begin with?) A better title would be something along the lines of Google CS Curric

The Wright Amendment [1] is a slightly different issue. IIRC the plan was to end all scheduled passenger service at Love Field when DFW opened. Southwest was started after the initial agreement and fought the restriction. Since then the

I assumed the 1% + .30 was on top of the merchant fees charged by the credit cards, which would make it not as nice for the merchants.

That was my first thought too but as I think about it storing the info in the cloud is probably better for me. Sure on a large scale if the company stores the data on your phone the data that company stores is decentralized; however look a
