Many of the results are 'No such user'. Add 'karma' to the end of the query to get a more accurate guess: around 11,600

I know it's really out of the question because of the amount of additional load it would create, but in some ways I'd like to have a more personalised home page. If I could just configure it with a: -objective-c, -java, -hotz, -raises, -acq

My main problems with HN of late are twofold: 1) It seems to be becoming a blog aggregator for the X, Y and Z 'celebrities' of HN. If I wanted to read all of their blog posts, I'd subscribe to their RSS feeds. Do we really need EVERY one of

One of the valuable ones that I can spot is daz.com, "Daz" being a popular Procter & Gamble brand of soap powder (at least, in the UK): http://www.dazwhite.co.uk/ - I'd guess they'd quite like the .com for their brand.

Also, the title is misleading: he got threatened with legal action, not sued.

Reminds me of the creepy Twitter bot I set up a couple of years ago (which is still going): http://twitter.com/reboundfinder The account got a mention on MSNBC; I have no idea why.

Exactly this; I'm thankful for the warning about biases, but this poll won't be used to impart any real advice - it's more about setting the scene with some anecdotal evidence; i.e. the fact that people have voted in some numbers for a vari

That's a very good point - I should have maybe added "Freedom" as an option (not necessarily 'financial' freedom, but more flexibility in lifestyle).

Why have people downvoted fletiz's response to -1? I don't necessarily agree or disagree with it (I'm staying neutral in this discussion), but please - stop downvoting replies that you disagree with. This response, as far as I can see, was

True, but this DOES look like a five minute project. I just screen-grabbed their large logo, put it into Photoshop, reversed the colors and reduced it to 16x16, and it looks almost exactly the same as their icon - no pixel-pushing required.

We've been traveling the world since May 1st 2010, and have used it wherever we can (Vancouver, Melbourne, Thailand, ...). It's a great idea, love it, and don't want to say anything too negative (it has far more going for it than against it

This is a valid point, but I think it's changing. I spent October to December in Japan, and the iPhone is HUGE there now (whereas a year ago, I didn't see one). I'd guess that 30% of the people I saw on the train used an iPhone.

Agreed. It would be interesting to also see 'average characters per word', to see whether this has DECREASED as the number of words has increased - almost a 'dumbing down', so that the title can still fit into the 66-70 character Google lim

Thanks so much - I knew I could rely on HN'ers to find these things. I'm hoping the Rogers one is a one-off (we're just adding it this morning), but I'll double check all of this. Thanks again. EDIT: just fixed the 'TED' (company doesn't ex

It picks up on any Twitter/FB updates that we can measure a discerning 'sentiment' for, so although it's limited to companies/brands at the moment, it could certainly be used for other things.
