Constitutional protection of the freedom of speech is all fine and dandy in theory. You might not end up in jail, but you can find yourself in court, which, for most, is an excellent deterrent of voicing their opinion. Aside that, once peop

"If you live in a nation with rule of law and wide ranging protections of freedom of speech like the US there is no need to be anonymous in the vast majority of cases." Sorry, but my irony detector is broken apparently. Do you truly belie

"Maybe that will eventually mean sincere advocates will end up having to blog more with their real name and photo to be taken seriously." Isn't this exactly what "they" are after? Once that happens, there won't be any need for such armies.

It needs some polish: The tags should not be above the "tag" label. "Like" should be on the left of the article title (similar to upvote here). The line underneath the title should be vertically aligned with the title. "Welcome" should not

The number of upvotes you get should be a good indication of the difficulty, perceived or otherwise.

Perhaps an indication of how much time tgrep currently spends looking in a sample 70GB file would be of interest.

The BBC needs to make visible cuts in places where the British (anti-BBC) press accuse them of providing services that they believe should be provided by private companies.If the site doesn't vanish the press wouldn't see it as a real cut,

But Astia does not give you money. Y Combinator does, on top of offering everything Astia has to offer. Oh, and YC also pays (a part of) your ticket to the US.

To chime in, sports odds arbitrage is a great investment vehicle for smaller funds. One can also kick-start the process with some bonus bagging...

The obvious issue for me is how to arrive to that list of potential problems in order to be able to later benchmark a solution/product idea. Randomly brainstorm? Focus on areas i am passionate about? Professional domain? All of the above? M

An interesting take. Even though the "just do it" mentality has merit, the crucial issue for me is identifying a startup area/idea that solves a real problem that real people are willing to pay real money to have solved.

"Correction, the vast majority of users will not be able to explain that they feel a responsiveness issue, but they do indeed feel it." That sits well with me. Upvoted! It is true that "clunkiness" is a valid complain, but i've always attri

From my first hand experience in FPS gaming in non-amateur settings the vast majority of average users will not be able to notice a (say) 50 ms difference in UI responsiveness. I covered that when talking about network latency in my previou

Google Analytics might indeed be the old man in the room, but it's free. Real time analytics do matter when things get viral, but that kind of service comes at a cost. AFAIK there is no free product (as in online service ) that provides su

I like it and think it might be useful! Perhaps integrate it with Facebook (as an app) so that you can amplify it's social aspect. The design is great too. One minor gripe is that i was served the German language version by default. Unless

Most excellent writeup! The whole set of posts (when they are ready of course) should be the manifesto of momentum surfers. For me, the moneyshot was: "One-click checkout. This was as easy as painless for the customer as it could be. There

It's a bit of a paradox that the head of the page reads "BookShrink - summary made simple" when, further down, the user is told that "this will not generate a summary of what you type in. [...] Summary is something different." I find it con

It could have been a better read. It doesn't actually tell if the girl in question used SEO/blackhat techniques to rank his name. My feeling is that it was not an act of gaming the image SERPs, it was merely a byproduct of MemeGenerator's S

I can't put my finger on what exactly turned me on about such a job listing, but it did (no pun intended). Any places for amateur fetishist porn stars (Perl)?
