Search YC may not be a Hacker News page, it is still an important tool for me : http://searchyc.com/ I wish I had bookmarked along the way all those little tools built around HN... Which ones do you use?

Why would you use a capital letter for the second word? It should have been "Do it" in which case the problem does not happen. Strange that nobody seems to take this basic rule into account. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/C

Funny, I was rewatching old Irish "Guinness" ads this morning, especially the "Tom Crean" one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXf93CEI4t0 Sounds like the man who got the job!

I find your comment interesting, but I'd like to underline something : one beauty of the "Today you, tomorrow me" story is that it was a family of mexican fruit-pickers helping an american man. Not the same club. Not the same community. Hel

What about a new generation of viruses able to brick your computer using this technology? It also could be a way for Intel to kill old computers in order to make people buy new ones (Most people would think that their machines were simply t

It does take time into account : "This system can be quite addictive (at least that’s what I’ve found) so you may find it a good idea to set strict working hours. Stop dead when the time is up, and start again at the same place when it’s ti

Sorry, what I say was probably not clear enough. I agree with you, eye contact is a way to communicate something. It may be defiance (that's what I meant by "it might be linked"), but it could also be seduction, fear, friendly etc. And we c

It seems that the human race is the only one that does not feel threatened by eye contact longer than half a second. An accident happened in Rotterdam Zoo early 2007 a gorilla jumped over 4 meter of water to attack a woman who did look too

Not much interesting about me. I am happy not to have relied too much on Google for the last decade. God knows it can be difficult sometimes. Temptation is high.

Techno / electro. These often have the energy and rythm of machines, and it helps to keep a good pace. I especially avoid any music with lyrics in a language I understand, so it does not steal my attention. All in all, I want my surrounding

One strange thing that happened to me is when I had this dream (following some long and deep programming session) where the "reality rules" were very close to the logical spirit of programming. Suddenly if I had to reach a platform that was

Here on HN I much prefer interesting discussions rather than smarta$$ comments. However I think people overreact to your comment. It was a humorous answer to a sentence that was implying second degree, thus setting an "easy" atmosphere. Fun

I agree, I don't think we should mislead or trap users, but rather accustom them to boxes of information which are there for curiosity, "related" stuff (graphically different : smaller grayish text?), or at least some kind of placeholder (a

Maybe there is a way to get the best of both worlds : Not having ads on day one AND getting users ready to expect them. Why not reserve some space for ads here and there from day one, but fill them with ad-looking text (à la google ads) abo
