Great description of CBT. For anyone who's not ready or can't afford to go to a CBT specialist, check out MoodGym - http://moodgym.anu.edu.au/welcome .

Jesus, another no-revenue Silicon Valley social startup acquired. This madness will never end. Congrats, though, Thomas.

Can you elaborate on your experience with Udacity? I've taken the Codecademy javascript course, and while I came out of it with the absolute basic fundamentals, enough to where I could play around with the language myself, I wish they'd gon

If your entire business is based on searching another company's already searchable set of data by using the apparently ingenious method of prepending a "$" to search terms, and you've raised $8.6 million knowing full well that at any time s

Yeah, well, I'm constantly hooked up to an EEG headset that is programmed to recognize, within .03 nanoseconds from onset, the specific electrical wave pattern my brain triggers when I've got even the smallest desire to browse HN, flipping

I'll take this opportunity to kindly request that someone build an alternative to gTalk and Skype for video chatting. The forums for both are filled with complaints that do not ever get answered. Both products are huge resource hogs – gTalk

Dave, just curious, did you properly capitalize and punctuate this or did Svbtle do that for you?

I think where you and I differ is that I don't believe that people who use Craigslist are under the impression that their data will be indexed/used elsewhere; I know I've never assumed that, and I'm willing to bet the same goes for the ever

This is a pretty black-and-white issue for me, and I don't quite understand how so many are defending Padmapper. Much like the arguments for pirating music, it all boils down to weak justifications for taking something that's not yours. I g

I suppose it could handle some tasks that apply universally to one type of email message from a given source, but not for most that involve highly personalized/sensitive information – bank statements, scheduling appointments, etc.

Really nicely done. I think this is a huge market that extends beyond just conferences, but also the next generation of youtube stars, popular podcasts, bloggers, etc. The idea being that anyone out there with an avenue to market to their a

First thing I thought of when I read the heading Actionsteps was being able to tailor actions specific to each email. For instance, you receive an email from Twitter saying someone's following you, and you're given the options to either "fo

I think that works in theory, but you have to look at what will draw users to care about applications. If the network effects aren't there, there's no reason why a user would be drawn to using a given application if the underlying service j

by kyro 14y ago
I can't help but feel that you're severely underestimating the network effects and momentum needed to make a service like this useful to someone. If Twitter had a price barrier, I doubt they'd have 5% of the user base that they do now. I ge

While I certainly understand the frustration being felt (I purchased the app and was hoping for push notifications), I'm sure most people here would've accepted the offer. With all that's been written on how little developers are making on

Very well designed app, so congrats to them. My only gripe and what's prevented me from using it as my main email app on my phone has been the lack of push notifications. I'm really, really hoping they implement that in an upcoming release.

I don't think the author actually said self-affirmations will lead you to success. If anything, they'll help improve your self-image and confidence, and put you in a better position to seek out opportunities. Your convertible analogy doesn'

I think it'd be appropriate here to mention Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Its purpose is to attempt to change the way we view ourselves by learning how to properly interpret events. The "you're a failure" bit really hits hard with me as it'

A lot of you keep asking what it is that Yahoo! does, which is a valid question, but you're forgetting about what they own and what they could do with their properties. If there's one word that ties all of their more popular services toge

Interesting acquisition. Perhaps Dropbox is moving more in the media center direction with their mobile apps, which are currently rather bland lists of folders and files. I could see them creating a much more interactive mobile interface to

It depends... For a bootstrapping startup trying to ship: not much. For a brick and mortar business looking to help establish their web presence with a mobile app: quite a bit. And often times it's the latter category of clients that pay mo

Ah, so like Dribbble. No doubt there are more than 20 awesome designers out there, but from a client's point of view, I would think the zero-sum nature of a top X list would do a bit more to ensure that the designers are worth their weight.

by kyro 14y ago
Really nice. My only suggestion would be to show more designs above the fold – perhaps make the current image rotate with a few others. Do you say 444 because that's all you have signed up currently, or are you restricting it to that number

Yeah, hospital-acquired infections are huge. In fact, they're a huge reason why we have so many aggressively resistant strains of organisms.

I was a bit conflicted about whether I should post those links. I figured it'd be no different than people purchasing site templates. In any case, I'll opt for being transparent and stick to the initial intention. Links removed.

This is a critique I had with the other HN redesign: I don't think making a submission's point score front and center is a good idea. You're making it important, even more so than the actual story is by placing it on the same line to the le
