There's nothing wrong with profit. I think how we measure it needs reform.

It would be, but having honing in on a specific set of characters is easier than trying to figure out which one is the summary sentence.

Maybe opinion pieces do. The news, I'm not so sure.

I like TLDR for being able to cmd+F to it quickly. In a well written article with an abstract or a good first sentence, I still have to find the first sentence. With a TLDR, I can jump to that section quickly. I know this sounds like the he

I'm looking to make a simple Gist like application that tracks revision history as well. It's for a specific use case, but I'm sure it could apply in other places as well.

I may have missed it on a quick glance, but how does this stop recruiter spam?

I've never had to call or email Amazon though. Not for retail anyway. Just getting into AWS and we'll see how that goes.

I think this is just a pattern with companies that have high numbers of employees. Facebook is just as inaccessible. Although I suspect that it's hard to troubleshoot Facebook to begin with since the particulars of their product changes so

Maybe too much, but how about a `txt` or `email` command to send short messages to contacts?

I know HN doesn't believe in a comment where an upvote will suffice, but the first thing I searched this thread was for "pull request" and by golly, I think they would be a great addition also.

Not sure about traction/usage of either, but Bandcamp shows up over and over as the other big contender. ReverbNation sometimes, but ReverbNation is too much clutter for me.

I don't like the slider. I'd prefer a boolean :) or :(. Other than that, this is great.

You should change "Less Options" to "Fewer Options". It's one of those things that if you know the difference, you can't stop noticing it everywhere.

This is difficult to maintain for shared group experiences though. For example, I went on a group trip in 2004 to Europe with a group of strangers. I became friends with a few and interacted with many. Sure I could keep in touch via email o

calling it 'our special club' makes me really uneasy on many different levels.

Making the answer hard to deduce/calculate is only one side of the difficulty. The other side is making the question hard to decipher. I don't think the SAT has any questions that are as straightforward as your example, but I could be wrong

The "obviously wrong option" often turns out not to be as wrong as I first thought.

Knowing an absolutely incorrect answer to every question is difficult to ensure. It leaves things up to chance since you cannot prepare for the exact questions you get. On the other hand, knowing all the correct answers is perfectly doable.

Woops, my lottery was supposed to refer to people who can get the lowest possible ("perfect") score. Looks like I can't edit my comment now.

This reminds of me playing Hearts on a PC. You can try really hard to get a good score, or you can get the worst score possible and win the round[1]. I didn't read the whole article, but it was pretty clear that to get the lowest possible s

I'm curious if anyone else is curious about the distinction between automation and delegation. It seems like a better description of OPs life hack is the latter. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but if you take the universe or the world or

I'm not in this situation myself, but I know that people who are not citizens / don't have permanent resident status have far fewer options if they want to work in the States.

haha, looks like 5 people reserved it so far. No one gets anything if 100 people haven't reserved one in 21 days though :)
