I almost did up until this submission. Flagged, in any case.

HN needs its own drama tv show. This is getting ridiculous.

I didn't know Zed Shaw and Gary Vaynerchuck had a child. It's always fun to see kids discovering the Internet.

Arrington has said that many who attended this event were friends of his. I'd think it wouldn't be too difficult to sense a strange vibe and that something unusual was going down. I've seen Arrington make some big claims (last.fm handing ov

He did quite a few things himself that didn't help the situation. Leaving the overhead bin open because he was in a rush is silly; it doesn't take more than 2 seconds to close. Telling the attendant to go ahead and call the cops is unnecess

I'd say the abuse is in the fact that Apple hasn't tailored their products to the horse market, leaving horses everywhere feeling unimportant and neglected.

Do you hold the same opinion when it comes to software? And by software I mean code you've spent months laboring over that you perhaps hope to make some sort of living off of.

I fully agree, and have yet to hear a solid argument in support of music piracy. Expanding your musical tastes and/or free marketing for the band are typically two very weak arguments, with the latter always unsubstantiated. If I copy your

Yeah, this is that "anchoring effect." If you tell someone that you think a pair of jeans costs $400 and ask them to guess a price, chances are they'll quote one around $400 even when the actual price is something like $40.

That's something I'd definitely be interested in. Just make sure that the connections are well-related and that I'll end up walking away with a set of nicely integrated facts. I said I'd pay $0.99 for it because it'd be a nice addition to m

Are you, or any of the other recent yc sites I've seen lately, finding Olark to be useful? Do you find that users are indeed using it to seek assistance?

"It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that these games are perfect for breaking the ice when you’re meeting someone for the first time, or to flirt with the cute girl who sits next to you in history class." Is this how people break the ic

I'm doubtful. Have you quadruple checked?

Some minor feedback: When search results are loading, I get confused by that general information image you have there showing a trip from San Francisco to JFK. For a split second, I think my search got messed up before realizing my actual s

Just wanted to wish you all the best. Nice to see some fellow Egyptians stirring things up!

One-liners claiming that DDG is the clear alternative and solution are hardly analysis.
653.
by kyro 16y ago
No, the solution isn't that obvious. Even with recent changes, regardless of who's copying who, I still much prefer Google to DDG. The layout makes it easy to traverse more results more quickly, and the typography and colors are a lot more

We'd also attract many tourists confused about whether they were on Hacker Island or actually on Reddit Island, worried that they had somehow arrived at the latter.

That comparison doesn't really make any sense.

Not sure how seriously you can take that critique when he/she thinks the magnifying glass is a magnet. :P

When you think of Google, Bing, Yahoo, Amazon, Zappos, Ebay, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, etc, what comes to mind? To me, nothing at all. They don't invoke any particular image in my head. They sound cool, often silly, and are recognizable, bu

I'm exactly the same way and it's been irritating me since I can remember. I think the issue for me is being so convinced initially that the idea I'm executing is my ticket to billionaire-dom, that by the time a product is built and the rea

Not yet: Max Klein, drop the Klein, replace with Payne (same character count). Max Payne was created by Finnish developers. Rearrange the letters of 'Finnish' and you get 'Fish Inn,' which is a dumbed down reference to the Hotel Redfish in
