It might work, if there was a nominal cost to creating an account. It would be better to take the recommendation engine of netflix. Just throw it on top of reddit and charge a fee for tailored recommendations. Now that is something I would

This crowd needs one more question: How many "I know the answer, but can I find a flaw in their code" questions did you ask?

Are you getting annoyed by the "I just achieved basic competence in this task, and here is how I did it" posts? If so, you are not the target audience for them. There are very few experts, and almost none who are able to explain t

I found myself getting into the same old dull routine, purely out of habit. So I wrote a 5 year plan. It forced me to think through what I wanted to accomplish in the next five years, and what made me happy. Every five years or so, I revisi

I had all my meta-data in one database, but it got corrupted and I lost it all. I now prefer adobe bridge / adobe lightroom. They update the metadata in the photo file itself. Not sure what they offer in terms of client programs.

Beautifully put, but I respectfully disagree. It takes discipline to exercise regularly. It takes effort to try something new that seems appealing but unfamiliar. We are old, and I think we forget how hard it was to crawl and then walk.

why is it that when I share my experience of what has worked really well for me, someone tells me I'm wrong. Because most folks only comment when they disagree. And most folks on HN are disagreeable.

You should spend some time watching folks use your site. Sit down with a few friends new to this system, and silently watched them use it for two minutes. Get them to think aloud, and ask questions when they are silent to better understand

I would say 80% of people on here have shown a little lack of awareness and judgement at least once on HN. Have you ever posted a joke that might offend? Have you ever linked to one or more past projects? Are you aware that you can not dele

Fewer children are cycling and walking to school. More children are being dropped off at school by car. More cars and less cyclists ultimately results in less safe conditions for cyclists.
