HN has been pretty disgusting the last few days: the level of schadenfreude here has hit ridiculous new highs. It seems that every time a story breaks about a successful company, a bunch of envious and disgruntled people come out of the woo

Interesting. I'll take a look at the links you just posted. Thanks.

And you effectively copied the way 37signals structured their pricing page.

Nice going, guys. As a med student, this sort of stuff really excites me. It seems like the government is willing to incentivize the adoption of electronic mobile technologies in clinical practice. To all who are making quips about the $44k

I'm sure they wouldn't employ someone who reacts in such a hot-headed manner so quickly. Keep in mind this is the first time this has happened to them, that they've probably never been placed in this sort of situation before, that they most

I was with you until your last paragraph. You're not a "crankpot" if you're pushing for rigorous scientific research and transparency. Yes, there are currently identifiable alleles that indicate specific diseases or predispositions, but the

Google's whole goal for G+ is that it's supposed to be modeled after how life really works – circles, hangouts, etc. The picture sharing is not how things go down in the real world. When your aunt has goofy pictures of you at family gathe

Then I suggest you become a recluse because what you want just does not happen in the real world.

This was great, Patrick. I've been going through a hugely eye-opening period of my life where I'm learning lessons that your article echoes. The largest of those lessons are: A) Your main obligation is to serve yourself and to allow yoursel

I'm really looking forward to trying this out, and here's why: With Facebook, I felt as if I was on this huge football field with all of my 'friends.' I could lean in to whisper with a friend here and there, or even put on some face paint a

As pleasant as your experience was, this shouldn't be taken in any way as justification for the procedure. I'm not saying that's what you're trying to do; it's just that I can see people reading this and saying to themselves "Well, what's t

I believe the flag option here is most appropriate.

It is almost always option 2. Unless it is a company offering cool new tech and/or directly targeted at hackers, I don't think I can think of even one large company that owes its success largely due to hacker/nerds as early adopters. Hacker

What the heck? Are you seriously doing this for promotional purposes? It's stuff like this that causes others to develop ill feelings against you.

Everyone who is against this needs to understand that these are necessary preventative measures. What is stopping someone from replacing their testicles with 2 cherry bombs whose wicks are then threaded out the urethra? Wear some tight jean

You know that giddy feeling you get when you think you've struck it gold with a genius idea only for that excitement to settle after you've given it a bit more thought? Yeah, well, it's that same feeling people get when they tag all their f

Jesus, 4 weeks? That's awesome. I've been learning on and off for a few years now, and have recently buckled down to finally get something done. What are some lessons you learned for building your next project? Also, it seems like you've go

Well, although that's one step better than blogs that completely lack a link back to the product, I don't find backlinking the actual blog logo to be all that intuitive. Often times I see blog logos that are variants of the actual product l

I tend to feel the same way when I see bios end in a cutesy fact. It's quite cliche now.

What is your point?

Yeah, I forgot about that one, which is by far the most annoying. Often times I have to scroll down a page just to get to the nav buttons. Down with lightbox!

I don't mind it if it's snappy and the image loads almost instantaneously, which is what I got when viewing this demo. Typically, with javascript, I'd have to wait a few seconds for the loading-wheel to spin until the image finally loads. N
