This page causes my browser (Chrome stable, Linux) to "aw snap" after half a second. What nasty JS are you running here?

This. It is impolite to link users to spammy wiki-scrapers, unless your post is: "Hey, someone made another spammy wiki-scraper!"

I am confused. The "Q2" on the x-axis makes it look like we're comparing half of a year's total to previous years' totals. My squishy human brain wants to put each point on equal footing. Edit: I see, the graphs are continuous.

I like to hate as much as the next HNer, but that chart says that Facebook's customer satisfaction went up this year. With so much actual badness to choose from, we don't need spin.

It's funny because it's unethical. With any luck, he'll get greedy and push the "reporting on companies I invest in" needle so far that it gets too noisey we stop reading (and posting everything he does on HN).

The first post you linked to goes on to say "We obviously did not 'pre fill' any fields without any user action." Is there any evidence you can provide our ridiculous INTERNET COURT that they did?

Sounds like a search problem. A thousand +1s for adding search.

Not only that, but you can make a post that has only one recipient. Private messaging is a special case of "I can send this post to specific recipients." Facebook's private messages exist as a separate thing in part because of how hard it i

This question presumes equality in other ways of our treatment of female presenters. You have changed more than one variable.

Invites have been open all day. I'll invite you if you don't mind being disconnected entirely from the social graph. Please add a way to contact you, or a link to a way to contact you, to your HN profile.

The conclusion is that there is no overlap? To paraphrase "A Princess Bride": You keep saying "It's No Contest." I don't think it means what you think it means.

This was my experience 6 months ago (I ended up using multiple firefox profiles for months because of it). Just tried it again this week, and I haven't run into the "derp derp derp one half of your accounts aren't allowed to see this"-type

You mean "who worked on Google+," not "who works on Google+." I was all excited to read a story about double agents!

A thousand times yes for search. It's like the electric company branching into book sales but lighting their bookstores with torches.

Hmm.. if only the makers of Picassa made a way for you to show a Stream of photos, text, videos, links?

Why do I need to install WhisperCore to use WhisperMonitor? Can I turn off this disk encryption stuff to try out the firewall by itself?

Flagged. Ignore the gauche of sending me a link to your service instead of the story for a second--consider your audience! Why would a HN user who clicks on a link to a story want to read your summary first?

Thank god for readability.

This article fills me with more warm fuzzies than anything I've read all week. I think every HN post needs to end with "<3". <3

From your blog post: "Unclaimed profiles are now NOINDEX. We’ve also changed profile URLs so that indexed profiles by search engines will start being de-indexed." Not true--your contentless scrape of my github project is the second result f

The link to my project is not clickable, and masterbranch tells visitors they need to sign up to talk to me. Classy.

Masterbranch scrapes github, pretends I'm using their site(masterbranch.com)

I needed to make play sound in a browser today, and luckily remembered this story. You have saved me a day of raging around the internet trying to get sound to play in browser x.
