Yeah but does anyone link to efreedom question pages? And SO as a whole must have way more inbounds than efreedom, surely?

How does that happen though? efreedom must be doing something special with SEO to get higher than SO given that SO must have huge page rank score.

The more you earn, the more you spend. You could re-write this article "struggling on $250m a year" - the yachts, mansions, family trusts etc take a MASSIVE bite. I dunno how they get by.

Ah yes - I forgot to mention. To add insult to injury, there's no CD - a proper copy or "recovery" disc. Pretty common in the UK these days, certainly for budget systems.

Apart from the well-documented benefits of Ubuntu/Linux over windows, for me there's now a matter of principle: a machine with pre-installed windows is generally stuffed with bloat-ware. I recently bought an Acer Aspire with Windows 7 start

I have little doubt that AT&T failed to mention that calls would cost $5/min. Anecdotally, I have an english friend who moved to California for 2 years a little while back. He was sold a UK-calling plan at some dollars / month (much mor

I'm glad someone else feels the same way. My angle is: these ads expect people to give up all their personal details, without revealing any of their own. I'm sure they miss out as a result. (One posting sounded almost spammy - "we're the ne

I forget where I read it, but apparently the Voyager command centre is a couple of terminals in the corner of a computer room at JPL that have a little sign stuck on them: "Please don't touch - live voyager mission" or words to that affect.

I have to respectfully disagree. The docs of just about every java library or framework I've looked at or used have been extensive, detailed and complete.

No, I never noticed that. It's weird how everyone in the startup community hates on java, when it's probably the most popular language in use today (source: SO tags) - far outstripping trendier languages like ruby, python, erlang, go, or th

Although a vacuum is devoid of physical matter, it's not actually empty. In fact a vacuum is host to a seething "ocean" of virtual pair-production (a particle and it's anti-matter counterpart locked in a feynman loop) giving rise to the "Va

I've noticed quite a few times on HN that people demand a new site/startup have a ToS - or they wont touch the service with a barge pole. That always struck me as a bit strange too. Particularly in the HN/startup community, I don't think ha

Interesting product. Care to share any details on the backend? Presumably a lot of crawling was required to get content? And what were you using NLP for - to understand the context of a keyword/filter match?

To be honest this sounds like a pretty typical gig. When you're rushing to get code together short cuts get made - paths get hard-coded, documentation doesn't get written. Your gripes seem fairly minor. Not sure how something compiles in ec

Thanks for pointing that out. Does this mean I can access a .onion address from within firefox when I've got the Tor plugin enabled?
