He is widely touted here on HN and other places as the final voice in crypto and freedom and I also do not understand why. I cannot respect someone who does not practice what they advise others to do: >I understand that most of this is i

OPML please, I can't copy/paste/click 30 times before I decide whether or not I'd like to use this. The weird randomized string URL is a hard pill to swallow too.

SoundCloud is on my top 5 sites that I use on a daily basis, there really is no comparison for someone who listens to electronic music. The sad thing is that their only focus is on creators (subscribers). Customers who only listen to music

I personally dislike much of Drudge's race baiting, religous baiting, and a host of other things he does on his soapbox, but I check his site more than any other for news. No fluff, ridiculously fast load time, perfect balance of conte

Since you're posting your articles to HN, you obviously want people to read what you write. If you want more people to read your writing, then consider making it more accessible and easier on the eyes. People exist with visual disabili

I already browse at 125%. It takes 200% to get to a comfortable readable level, and that doesn't address full width sentences. Too much effort for a wall of text. Typography matters.

I wish I could read that article, but full-width sentences and tiny typeface are painful. The beautiful large typography and layout of Medium is one reason it's winning, despite its sometimes laughable content.

Using a brand's social media presence and audience size as a key metric in brand loyalty seems dubious, at best.

Love the approach of this article, but the design itself is problematic. The absurdly large fixed header takes up 20% of the page. Fixed headers, in particular large ones, are the herpes of page design. You're forced to always see it e

So when you're mad at someone or a group of people, you break their stuff? Why are we cheering for this? I'm strongly in favor of EFF, Doctorow, and others to shed light on what they did, but this the electronic equivalent of cove

My remark was certainly flippant. It was a gut reaction to statements he's made about a Linux machine as the best bet (see his interview with VICE), but yet he still primarily uses Windows. I think there's a lot to be said for tho

While I agree with his viewpoints, I just can't take a security professional (or CTO) seriously who uses Windows as their primary machine.

Rank 2nd or 3rd when logged in G+ and seeing your own post, it doesn't register otherwise. Another SEO and social expert moron. Nothing to see here, move along.

Although a silly comparison, $35 is an amount less than I frequently spend on a night out alone, or a night out with a friend, with little or no memories left behind. While more expensive than a used self-help book on Amazon, having a recor

What I resort to doing on bursts of high HN reading (such as now, at lunch) is to command+click each link that looks mildly interesting and go through a few pages. This site is too frustrating to use any other way, and for a community with

This issue isn't what need solving. The much larger problem is the "unknown or expired link" page. What year is this? Why are we still accepting an implementation detail as an excuse for an awful user experience?

Yes, you are correct. But going to college, or learning to code nights and weekends, or contributing to OSS projects doesn't pay the mortgage either. It's an investment. You do it in hopes that current work will yield a larger fut
