The first two bullet points are basically the same one, and not a panacea. Outsourcing still requires management. These people aren't your employees, but they're still working for you. You've essentially outsourced the HR administration alo

I do wish that if, say, GitHub is down, people wouldn't post a link to GitHub that won't load because GitHub is down . If people want to post a link to a GitHub status page that provides more information, then fair enough. And if people ju

Do you feel that it is a problem? Would it be a problem if you had a platonic friend (of either gender) who was much smarter than you?

Comments with so little value that they get downvoted already cost the commenter karma. Most posts that have not reached the front page yet do not reach the front page at all. Comments on pages that do not reach the front page have much les

"AirBnB for spouses" sounds like wife-swapping at best, prostitution at worst.

Asking people to self-report their IQ will give you misleading results. I'd expect people with embarrassingly low IQs (in comparison to those IQs that are reported) to be less likely to comment. I don't remember ever taking an IQ test... bu

When is this from? The article is undated. I've no idea whether "Wired 11.09" means "the November 2009 issue of Wired" or "the September 2011 issue of Wired" or something else. The copyrights at the bottom are dated "1993-2004" and "1994-20

There is a theory which states that if investors ever do manage to accurately model and predict market behaviour, the markets will vanish and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is a further theory which states that this

Where have you got your "5% of them make a claim with average cost £5000" figures from? Are employee costs included in the £10 million for misc fees? I would think you'd also have to make an allowance for fraud (both in terms of write-offs

Sorry, I don't understand. Why will Australian fans continue to pirate now that the show will be available legitimately on ABC's website 50 minutes after UK transmission? Yes, watching it on a PC/tablet/phone is not the same as watching it

Time zones. BBC America can show it on the same day as BBC1, and it's a few hours later. If ABC was to show it on the same day as BBC1, it would be several hours earlier. This might merely be embarrassing for the BBC, or it might cause a po

Flagging is supposed to be for spam and other submissions that don't belong on HN. It is not supposed to be used for downvoting things you personally are not interested in. So it sounds like you abused your flag ability and it got revoked.

How well does that front page convert? It doesn't say what it does (I'd guess it's a simple todo list app from the tickyboxes, but can't be sure).

It would help if we knew what UK Google's real profit was (as opposed to the accounting profit (loss) it (doesn't) pay tax on). e.g. I expect UK Google pays a lot to license various Google trademarks from an offshore Google subsidiary. How

I'm not sure what you hoped to show with that link. It gives me 11 results for “mdn”, one of which concerns “mDNS”, and at least one of the others is from the Mac Developer Network. At most 9 links from HN to the Mozilla Developer Network

Could someone please change the title to make clear that these only apply to the Mozilla Developer Network wiki, and not general purpose URLs. Not everybody knows what MDN stands for.
