In my opinion, the way dropbox did it was not good. My bank gives both you and referrer some gadget when you are referred. Makes sense because I know what a gadget is. Dropbox gives you 250 extra mb. Yeah, but I (the person being referred)

Give me an idea what to do. If I have to prove all my stories, it limits the types of stories I can write. This story, for example, I could not have written, because the person may not want this information linked to him. I have the choice

Nothing spectacular - I don't subscribe to blogs or forums or newssites, just to news aggregators that allow some form of voting then only read the highest ranked stuff.

Information is mostly just noise. The actual useful stuff comes rarely, so I try as much as possible to minimize the external information I get that is not important - for example, the news. The news are mostly totally unimportant and irrel

I will integrate this into my company panel such that when there is a new sales report available, it does this. Notifo remains my favorite YC service. Unpretentious and useful.

I don't think anyone is trying to convert you to Islam, and whatever your thoughts on other religions, I believe that we should all show respect to the believes of other people.

What about "hate speech"? This is forbidden by the laws of the U.S. The U.S is not an "everything goes" place where you can say what you want. The only difference is that some things are culturally inacceptible to say, and so are protected

That argument does not work. What this is equivalent to is the U.S passing a law in the U.S saying that Saudi Arabia should start serving Alcohol. The prophet comes from Islam. Without Islam, there would be no prophet. If you are going to u

I'm not concerned about the group that threatens violence. Obviously they should not do this, and the country that they are in makes this against the law. I am saying that South Park should have respected the culture initially enough to not

But surely you understand that making fun of somebody else god is not eroding freedom of speech. Rather, you're just provoking someone else for no reason. There is a lot of censorship going on in the world, and a lot of real things that you

What I'm trying to show is this: It's easy to see the flaws in another person or another culture, but it's much more difficult to see it in your own. Everybody has their own weird things that are annoying to other people. But when you're go

Is abstaining from calling a person a "nigger" eroding freedom of speech? No, it's simply a sign that you recognize that it will cause another person distress. Not showing the prophet on a screen is not eroding freedom of speech, because th

Those are not 'laws'. The people who kill anyone else for whatever reason will face the laws of the land and have to deal with whatever punishment that entails. Nobody is under an obligation to pay attention to another countries culture. If

Different cultures is not about food that is a bit more spicy or that smells different. There are real differences that, even though they may not be important for you, are important for many people in the world. We are no longer living in p

This is very confusing! By default add 6 apps on the first page, which the user can then customize and change afterwards. Only after I had an app on the first page did I understand what the service was about.

Get over this A/B nonsense. That is not an A/B test. An A/B test is not some path to riches or some rigorous way to prove something scientifically - it's an unimportant way to prove a hypothesis when you have a very large user number. It's

This is the epitome of hypocrisy. Google censors Nazi stuff in Germany but refuses to censor Tianamen Square? Nazis have a right to free speech as much as any chinese person does. If you obey the law in Germany, then obey the law in China.

Michael Arrington is so anti-yahoo that I find it difficult to read his articles about yahoo without wondering how much of that is just personal animosity. Foursquare SHOULD sell. 4sq is going to become the friendster of the space. All thes

Well, this is totally not relevant to non-U.S users, but great to see notifo progressing. This is one app I genuinely like. You know what's missing? Google wave and email notifications.

I really don't see a point to RSS. I use it to subscribe to a particular forums category, but that's it. If I want to get a persons blog post, I add them to my 'Tracking' list on twitter. Most people don't write consistently good stuff. And
