As you leave features out of older versions, those users will be unhappy and leave negative reviews. Can you elaborate on what you mean by this? It seems like you're saying users will be unhappy because they can't get new features withou

I wish the market made a distinction between "reviews from people for whom the app is working" and "reviews from people for whom the app is broken". Most apps work fine on my G2, and it's useless when the first page of reviews is filled wi

And then let me know where you were when you found it. I'm all about finding random marshmallows while I'm just ambling around.

I just purchased this book in both formats and I am giddy with excitement to read it. But I just have to ask... does anyone else think the swiss army knife on the cover looks like some kind of horrifying insect? SWEET JESUS GET IT OFF ME

Someone got jumped on for reproducing a work at a lower quality. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's objectively "lower quality".

This reminds me of a less developed version of the advice Leo Babauta gives in his short book, "Focus": http://focusmanifesto.com/ I highly recommend it. It takes maybe a couple of hours to read, and it's very dense with good ideas, sugg

The last paragraph is a Chuck Palahnuik quote! Seems like you got the mindset the author was coming from. :->

Ah yes, someone definitely posted it before me. I did read the entire thread, by the way; I just missed that link at the end of the long post.

You might be able to do a quick happy medium by generating a "vanity url" such as bit.ly/sneaky-affiliate-link or something.

"Poor comment" is very subjective; I think that people are downvoting you not only because they disagree, but because of the type of argument you made: you imposed a value judgment on a certain kind of decision-making without really backi

Are there specific techniques to learning it, or is it just experience? For example, do you have to be very familiar with the specific weapon you're using? Does "visualizing" help? Are there tricks or points of reference that you use to

I have always been amazed by knife-throwers' ability to calculate the amount of revolutions between their hand and their target when throwing. It just seems like one of those things that the human brain couldn't possibly calculate correctl

If we were only allowed to post stuff that was universally true with no exceptions, HN would just be an "iPhone news" outlet. ;-)

It reminds me of the "alpha male/beta male" thing that leaks out of 4chan occasionally. Sometimes it's just not as easy as one or the other!

Am I the only person who just can't figure out whether I'm an "introvert" or an "extrovert" no matter how hard I try? I hate small talk (and love Smalltalk), but love meeting people. I value unfiltered honesty, but prefer effective commun

I am an adept computer user who is also a moron. It stands to reason that there are also very intelligent people who are not very good with computers. I believe this is what the author was getting at.
