   I totally agree. Lately, most of my submissions get retitled to the on-page title, thereby removing the reference / context to HN. For information the original title was from SBs tweet, here: https://twitter.com/sgblank

   I'm not a redittor, so forgive me, but is this supposed to work around the problem where so many "Show HN's" don't make it onto the front page?

   If you can describe projects in the language of HN as opposed to Flippr, you could do very well. i.e. For a SaaS project I care about the problem you are solving, the market you are addressing and what you know about it, MRR, LCV, churn, an

   The Kickstarter page [1] doesn't lean heavily on the anti-PRISM angle, so I think the title is misleading. In this case "Anti-Prism" means (not cloud but) USB attached HDD storage! [1] http://www.kickstarter.com&#x

    Even more than that, the US has most of the best military hardware on sale. If you want to be able to buy the weaponry to compete in todays world, you pretty much have to buy it from the US (or it's closest allies). That's a very

    There's actually nothing new in this leak. Pine Gap [1] and HMAS Harman [2] were discussed on here a couple of weeks ago. Really what we're seeing here is the current generation of Echelon [3]. I'm not saying it's OK, fa
