The comments and/or advice you're giving (and the tone you're using) are the type of things you say to someone before they decide to make the jump if you want them to think long and hard before making a tough decision. When you say it like

Angels/VCs are about return on investment, not making it easy for other other startups to compete with their portfolio companies.

If your definition of being a rebel means not being "part of one group or another", then I would speculate that the number of "true rebels" on HN is zero.

Does it matter? Most significant discoveries have little (if any) impact on the average person's life. The importance of many discoveries can take decades to become apparent, and are little-understood when they are discovered. And if that d

It has to do with ideal line widths for reading, not with Web 2.0. Having lines that are 1600 pixels wide is a nightmare for readability.

Somewhat of an aside: if you don't believe in free will, why do you think we should live our lives like there is? It seems a bit to me like not believing in a god but taking comfort in the idea of a heaven-like place after death; or having

Instead, let's fill the front page with posts about not filling the front page with Facebook posts. Soapbox posts telling the rest of the community what to do and/or not to do are way worse. Instead of a bunch of Facebook noise, we have Fac

It's awesome when anyone can make a living doing what they choose. But for practical purposes, I think most people think of "living off their start-up" as making money from things other than an individual doing contracts/hourly work; in oth

You were doing this from a browser and not an app? Some mobile browsers disable the file upload dialog, and there's nothing the site can do to get around it. I know it works like this on iPhone (and it's a huge pain in the ass; you'd think

The "thousands" figure is part of the bullshit. Clinton did it with about 1,300 people. That is far from "thousands". They talk about this in the article. And I'm curious what your experience and understanding of how that all works is to be

Agreed, but $5 million a day is a lot for you and your family to take a vacation. It is NOTHING when the POTUS is on an international trip. Anyone who thinks that is a big number relative to what it's for is completely out of touch with rea

Gotta agree here. OP is complaining that the articles are not free. After the explanation is given that they are free and require registration, that becomes the new problem. If these are issues the OP has, that's fine, but I don't think all

I don't disagree with you. I'm just not surprised. The goal of the site is definitely not to make it easy to see and understand everything that's going on and why. Features seem to be community-centric, not user-centric.

Don't assume you're doing anything wrong. Just because this technique works for some people doesn't mean it works for you. Depending on the task, I work best with two or three hour chunks of time where I have a lot of time to ramp up, get i

I doubt it's a bug. PG is probably just minimizing what's cached outside of the most current and/or most viewed submissions. If a user views it, then it gets cached (for awhile, at least). Just guessing though.

I know it's a YC company and that you're an employee, but why do you post three stories from three different sources at the same time that all say the same thing? Other than overkill, it fragments the conversion if one develops. Was there a

You're getting all worked up over two drama queens. You say "those of you" and "you all" like there's a huge group of Jason and Mikes out there, but I don't see it. It's always these same two guys going at it, so I'm not sure why you care e

Typically, someone wants work done, finds someone to do it, and they agree on what's getting done and how much is going to be paid. In this case, 100% of the risk is with the developer. Maybe someone else builds it first; maybe you don't li

Scary stuff? If he was really that scary I'd go as PG for Halloween and watch all the little future entrepreneurs wet their pants when they see me. Either that, or I'd float them a couple bucks each for 6% of their candy.

I totally disagree with this. If someone is going to put up an "Offer HN" post, it should be because they kick ass at something and want to share their expertise. The last reason should be because people with limited experience want to get

That sounds like a lot of bandwidth if you're not downloading any videos. Is there any chance there are background services (that you know of or that may have been installed by other software) that might be doing a lot of send/receive that

I don't think people pirate software because it's hard to pay for it and install it. I think they pirate it because they don't want to pay for it. Ninety-nine cent songs are one thing; $99 apps are something else entirely.
