   Facebook usually just gives the sites extra data and it makes it easier for people who just want one click sign in (at least I think that's why most people do it) but I agree with duiker101 in that you should offer an alternative. Also the

   LOL I was recently told by someone else that there should a separate option for Leave of Absence vs Dropped Out as some may or may not return whereas dropping out indicates no intention of returning. They were also careful to note it so

   If people really wanted to stalk someone, they can do it outside of HN although I've seen a thread on this in the past so I know what you're referring to but it's usually very unlikely. That said, I'm using my real name LOL

   It's a hybrid. MPG wasn't my primary consideration although it was definitely something I partially considered. That said, I wasn't really looking at diesel cars. Wasn't really shopping around for different types of cars either actually. A

   I don't agree that people were following the herd. If I genuinely disagreed with a comment, no amount of others upvoting would change my stance. To me, it was just an easier way to filter comments worth reading (or at the very least start f

    Building something isn't the problem whether its a side project or a scalable startup. Having front end and back end capabilities is great but what you really need is marketing skills. Build a badass product but suck at marketing, you proba

    I agree with this. There are lots of talented developers out there with public resumes available for view. The problem isn't necessarily what's written on their resume alone. It's a combination of factors. That said, I think its more valuab

    In regards to your first comment, just because Apple makes their own iPhone and iPad cases doesn't mean they can't sell cases made by other vendors. The metaphor here is even if Apple adopts its own internal NFC system, that doesn't mean it
