I guess I don't really get the point of this. The whole idea of ditching points was to see if it could generate better discussion. By using this extension you are re-enabling points (even if only for a few select users). That re-enabling

I absolutely understand the need to choose good teachers over bad teachers. However, how much will the teachers' salary play into the selection process? I would imagine a teacher with 20 years experience gets paid quite more than a teache

Do you realize that when your only goal is to gain karma points the overall quality of HN suffers, thus decreasing the value of each karma point? All of your posts are just tech/startup gossip. Kinda boring, no?

This article is a joke, it's something I would expect to find on some tech/news gossip website. Is this what FSF has become? > so many sites — including TIME — use Facebook's user-tracking "Like" button, Zuckerberg is able to collect i

I wrote a webapp to handle your contact form. http://www.strikeform.com/ You just copy and paste a few lines of javascript onto your page and it generates a contact form, handles validation, and e-mail delivery. It's very basic, it asks

it looks like ec2 is messed up tonight. i am guessing reddit is trying to stay above water until things get sorted out.

The cost of writing 'Hello' in an email is very minimal, the cost of reading one of these greeting is also very minimal. The cost of being perceived as unfriendly, too-business-like, and demanding is just so high. It's not worth the risk.

seo matters - its hard to create an argument against that. certain seo practices, generally promoted by the firms claiming to get you to the #1 spot in google, are snake oil.

Someone got this working with ruby (rails). There's a gem/plugin out there that gets the file uploading/system working (I believe it relies somewhat on paperclip,etc). Sorry for being so vague, but I'm sure Google will turn up something.

No, but its getting very close to the gray area/fine line. If you are encouraging the user to click your link for some reason other than him being interested in the product - then it is click fraud. Example of click fraud: I get paid when

I don't get why everyone is so upset at Google here? The guy admits to committing click fraud and then gets shut down. As someone who spends a bit of money on adwords I am pretty happy to see Google is active in enforcing these policies.

I wouldn't worry about this too much. Google does a good job when it comes to spotting the difference between you and these guys. As far as serving junk content to that IP, its a waste of time. As your blog gets more popular you'll start

I've been using the nexus s for a few days and I enjoy it. The biggest problem I have is the lack of notifications. No blinking leds or anything.

Platform as a service architecture is so cheap these days that you can pretty much drop that sys-admin time down to 0-1% with very minimal cost.

there is a price point where we will pretty much take just about any job. if this job hits your price point, take it. also, not everyone on HN has glamorous jobs. you gotta start somewhere.

In general, any problem you are having has existed before. Any issues you've had during development other programmers have had as well. This is especially true for any popular language/framework/design problem. The programmers that have

This seems like a great way to request a new feature just because it gets you talking about it. You are going to tell your team, friends, and other users this story. Just by telling them about this a-hole customer is immediately going to b

doesn't really matter - since all of these services allow you to change the e-mail addresss in the future. i'd use whatever is most convenient, probably a general catchall @yourdomain.com

most private registrations will auto forward emails to the actual owner. try emailing the address the comes up in the whois. example: domain.com@private-register.com will forward to the actual owner.

looks very nice. 1) When browsing lists I like the spacing and big font, but I would also like to see all books without having to scroll. Like an easy way to take the list in. 2) Add more ways to login, maybe including your own system. 3)
