I use wvl's extension (hckr news), and it's awesome, especially the "new comments highlighting" feature.

For a "sole proprietorship", is it necessary to register a company at all for doing what the OP asked (starting a website as a side project), or can he just do it as an individual and just pay taxes on the profits as regular income? PS>

In that case, also recall that the "net impact" that he has already had on the world economy in terms of jobs created, sales taxes on products sold etc. is probably much larger than whatever you would tax his income "fairly".

You actually own a AK-47? Out of curiosity, why?

No need to apologize since it was an honest mistake :) I have seen the wrong spelling used at many other places as well....not sure if they are always typos, or if some people are genuinely mistaken about the name.

It's Gandhi, not Ghandi. Sorry for nitpicking, but I hate to see the name mangled of someone I respect a lot.

Why would you not be able to say no (with appropriate reasons) to "misc bullshit" requests online via Rentpost, versus doing the same on phone/in person? Also, wouldn't receiving payments online rather than via checks/cash be easier for you

Why do you need a Twitter account to be an alpha user? I almost signed up as an alpha user, but this pushed me away.

Alright, based on your previous karma, I am willing to try this out. My $5 is yours :)

Just because it is posted here, how do you know it's not? The poster might have been duped himself.

Ironically, if PG does respond to this, his answer might end up unseen below the fold :)

The article links on the right are scrolling down too fast. A couple of times by the time I read the headline, and was ready to click, the article was gone. I didn't see an obvious way either to go back to something that just went way. You

How about adding some sort of a feedback mechanism to search? For instance, when I search for something, maybe some way to mark a result as spam and optionally relevant? The obvious problem is that spammers would attempt to game the feedbac

Wouldn't have worked , in the same way that emailing Facebook and others, instead of releasing Firesheep wouldn't have worked (since they haven't fixed it even after Firesheep has been released, it's unlikely they would have paid much atten

Love the design.....if the original author is reading this, did you do the design yourself, or hire someone?

Agree, even a simple button to remove stories permanently from our individual views would help a lot. If PG doesn't want to do that due to performance issues, maybe one of the useful Chrome/Firefox plugins out there could add that at the br

I agree with your view whole-heartedly. I think most* of the violations that you mention are done to foreigners (not just visitors, but also those who are working here on visas like me). And this population is not a part of the electorate.

More commonly (in NYC), I have had cab drivers request me to pay cash if possible as they have to pay quite high credit card processing fees.

I am a user, and love Flipboard. How do you monetize it? I would have willingly paid for it.

My site isn't up yet, but I would use this service, and be willing to pay for it as well. If you are an expert in this domain, maybe you could have a cheap automated testing suite, and then offer a consulting service to help fix the securit

That's a very good idea. I would go further and tell the candidate that I don't know the solution myself, thus hopefully putting him/her at ease and making it clear that I am more interested in the thought and design process, rather than fi
