Hey, I've got MCATWriting.com and am working on a writing guide that I plan on selling. The site will be up soon. Maybe we could team up or do some cross promotion.

I can definitely imagine lurkers creating accounts to show off their latest project, so auto-killing posts from newly created accounts doesn't seem like the best way. Perhaps make it policy that all RMS submissions be text submissions expla

Hi Panos. My younger brother is in your class and I feel it is my duty to inform you that the kid has the creativity, work ethic, and street smarts to do big things, remarkably taking after his older brother. He's got my last name, and he

Ah ok. My bad -- instantdomainsearch said it was free, which is odd. Maybe someone jumped on it quickly. :P Few other suggestions: crazephrase.com completethisline.com linecompleter.com

I don't get it. Who keeps upvoting this meta-stuff? Are you all really that interested in another commentary or perspective on the dynamics of HN? Really ? And must we have everyone rush to the submit button or their blogs to write about h

I'm a first year med student as well, and there are a few other students/physicians on HN interested in tech; so you're not alone! Edit: What's your email address?

But I'm sure that didn't stop Jack and Jill from liking each other's statuses once they got home from the cinema to tell the world that they had just seen the movie. I don't think it really affected anyone, at least not Facebook's main demo

Yeah, I totally agree with Gladwell on this one. I'll go even one step further and claim that many to most of the people you see joining these Facebook charity groups do so almost involuntarily because their friends do. I was so irritated b

And by that same token, you lack the insight of what's really behind Digg. I doubt with the years of work they've put into it, tweaking algorithms, etc, that you'd be able to duplicate it in one weekend.

The problem I have with this is that you're extracting a formula (or non-formula rather) after the fact. It seems as if you lived your life like any other person, and things just eventually happened to you.

You certainly can make that happen. Psychiatrists see this every day.

A physician on the admissions board for a top 40 medical school told me the secret to their process. They separate each applicant into their respective ethnic background, take the top 5% of each pile, and then take a closer look at the indi

Can you FizzBuzz? If so, you're experienced enough to get a job as a developer. I am always so surprised when I hear that, and have a difficult time believing that's true. With only an extremely beginner's level understanding of Python, I

I noticed upon clicking that link that Twitter has broken my back button functionality. I get redirected to the Twitter home page, and subsequent clicking of the back button takes me back to pg's status.

Not sure if this exists, is feasible, or even possible, but: What about some sort of framework or markup for converting a webpage to speech? Edit: http://www.webtospeech.com is free btw.

It's more jealousy than anything. People hate the fact that someone their age or younger is living the dream -- Ivy League education, explosive traction, rapid growth, investors at your feet, multimillionaire, all during your 20's.

Many of the 'friends' you have on Facebook are anything but. They're all superficial and mainly virtual relationships you have with others you will most likely never meet let alone contact offline. I quit Facebook several months ago and hav

I've never understood why people tend to bring this up. If anything it shows that the misspelling was a more natural way to transcribe that specific string of sounds. Perhaps had the person who registered the domain looked up the proper spe

You're right, there is. I never said all institutions that claim to offer higher education are not scams or not free; some are in it purely for business. The University of Phoenix is pretty much 'open source' online education with a price t

It's funny, because even people like Zuckerberg eventually had to pull in experts with extensive educational backgrounds to help in developing the company. And if you look at any billion dollar company, those with degrees have played and co
