You need to divert some time away from pointing out insignificant typos and add something meaningful to the conversation.

Not related to the overall point, but I love this quote: "Apple products are great because Steve Jobs and much of Apple’s upper staff has exceptionally good taste." Come on now: dude knows his computer cases and his shiny gadgets, but that

I agree with what you're saying, but I'd be curious to know what the response to the program would be if terms started to move towards the funders and away from the founders. YC gets a lot of attention from their current terms, which means

A good feature for HN would be if someone adds a new account (one minute ago when I checked this one), submits some sort of trolling or moronic comment that gets down-voted a few times (which hopefully this one will), it should be flagged,

Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD. I think this is a terrible idea. Hack the system so the most deserving person doesn't win and give hackers a bad name in the process. Really...good...idea.

Maybe somebody could put up a poll about whether or not to ban polls about banning sites. If you don't like Jeff's blog, don't click the link. If the community likes the blog, it will get voted up. I don't get what the point of banning it i

To me, this is no different than Facebook charging users for features they already got for free. For example, "pay us $5/month or your feed items will always show up at the bottom of your friends lists" or "pay us $1/month or your news feed

And to all the non-Americans on HN -- myself among them -- please don't forget to post a reminder to your fellow countrymen/women on HN to vote if your country is having an election. I'm sure all the people who upvoted this post will be sup

I think the Facebook example is a terrible example. If that had been their business model since day one, then fine, they can do whatever they want because every new user knows what they're getting. But if they get huge because users are flo

Do you intentionally not allow IE users to view your site? I get redirected to http://www.shlomifish.org/no-ie/ when I try to view your site using IE7.

This is way too general for my taste. I'm a creative guy when it comes to solving problems, but when it comes to graphic design, for example, I suck. I don't need to try it myself because I don't even know where to start with that kind of c

I have no problem with the post itself; it's in your blog and it's totally relevant to your company. I just don't think it added much value in this forum without giving it context. If the subject was "How to use real-world data to sell your

I like the product and I know they're a YC company, but that was as close to a flat-out sales pitch as I've seen posted here in a awhile. Not the end of the world, but what was that REALLY saying other than RescueTime has a good ROI if you

Even if 99% of people are smart (or in this case, not dumb) enough to figure out a feature, that doesn't mean that you can guarantee that the other 1% will get it. I'm guessing this user falls in the < 1% category. Maybe it makes for a

No, I won't volunteer how I'm making it better, because that's not why I come to this site. If you want to relate it to HN and ask if my work makes it better, then no, it doesn't. My software doesn't feed starving children in Africa. But it

Are you KIDDING me??? We're all adults here and we all have varying degrees of understanding about what's going on in the world and we all have different levels of involvement in trying to make it better. I don't need that shit thrown in my

Meh. Whatever. If you learn online or learn by buying books or fall somewhere in the middle because you do both, you're still learning. Sometimes I just want something to read where I can read away from the damn computer under the sun. At t

I saw the title and thought it was someone bitching about HN content going downhill and leaving the site and was ready to tell you good riddence, but the actual post was a welcome alternative. Good luck! I still remember the drive home on a

Damn, 29 points (as of me posting this) just for saying thanks. You're some kind of karma magnet or something. Okay, now reply "thanks" to my reply and let's see how many you get ;)

Actually, I'll give him props for asking. As evidenced by all the technically sound start-ups out there with names so dumb and hard to spell that I'd have to TRY to come up with something worse, being smart and being able to build a good pr

If you're going to leave, just leave. There's no need to waste our time telling us about it. I'm not trying to be (overly) harsh, but I'm pretty sure there are far more people than just me who are tired of wasting time reading comments from

The actual title is "Toyota Announces Segway Killer". It's kind of like saying "Toyota Announces Apple Newton Killer".

This article is like writing about white and black and pretending that there's no such thing as grey. Ninety-nine percent of hackers/developers would have attributes that put them in both categories to varying degrees (by almost any definit
