Great article but it makes no mention of Michael Moschen, who many (including me) consider the best & most creative juggler in the world. Here are some mind-blowing physics that I think the HN community, in particular, would enjoy. htt

In one place on the front page, it says delivery takes 18 minutes. In another place on the same page, it says 20 minutes. Not that 2 minutes makes a difference, but the numbers should be consistent. I like 18 minutes because it sounds preci

Just a reminder that anyone can bid any amount for anything on eBay, with no repercussions. Source: I once put a website for sale on eBay. Bids went up to $10M. The press covered it like crazy. Turned out the bids were fake. For example: h

This looks awesome. Scared to put the Javascript on my site though, because it's unclear to me how the embedded Javascript will be able to differentiate me (the site owner) from regular users. I don't want regular users seeing the

Thanks to this article, today I learned that there's a name for the thing I have, "delayed sleep disorder." I became an entrepreneur at age 22 not because I wanted to change the world, but because I just wasn't able to w

Google could check if GUID_1.jpg is the exact same image as GUID_2.jpg. If the same, just show a cached version. No more tracking. (of course, email marketers would thwart this by making each image slightly different. google would respond b

I love this form. I can't stand credit card forms that split the credit card number into 4 inputs ("[XXXX] [XXXX] [XXXX] [XXXX]") because I can't paste my number in (the first box has a maxlength of 4 usually) Yet, for p

Unrelated, but this is the first time I've seen blog post on SequoiaCap.com. Can't help but think they were inspired by YC/HN (and the design seems inspired by Medium.com). I love it and hope more companies like Sequoia publi

Thanks. No difference yet, though scholarships accounts are flagged as such in the database. So we can treat them differently one day if we want to. Good idea about the picture. I was thinking maybe even a YouTube embedded video of me expla

Every time I see an emulator like this on HN, my mind is blown. Can someone explain to me and any other run-of-the-mill hackers reading this, how an emulator like this is made? I wouldn't even know where to start.

Tell the audience why they want it. Not what it does. And be specific. "Make smarter decisions and increase revenue!" does not mean anything. You could literally say that about anything. What does your product specifically help th

The purpose of these big rounds, usually, is founder liquidity. Snapchat could easily get acquired, making the founders (and early employees) very rich. But investors don't want them to sell yet. So investors buy a lot of common stock

I use ColdFusion (well, technically I use Railo) and I love it. I agree that the owner of the website here needs a <CFERROR> tag, which tells the server what to do instead of showing that big error message.

I love Railo. And I love the CFML language, which is what it uses. Railo is free (as opposed to Adobe ColdFusion - the other CFML platform), open source, has a great community, and does everything I need. I'm a speed demon in it. And t

I forget why I didn't use ffmpeg. There was a reason. I evaluated both and decided SOX was better for me. It's working well so far.
