I had one article up on the front page for a while, and I am pretty sure no one else cared to submitted because it's on a really obscure subject, and I didn't bother getting my "vote ring" involved in it :) Though I am p

That's a pretty selfish attitude, no? You get a lot, or at least some, value out of the HN community, and yet you do not contribute to it in the way that really matters. Sure, commenting on articles is important, but it's also imp

Hmm, well the way I was imagining it, every new post will get the same amount of promotion, but it's true that it is random in that you never know who you are going to show it to. Some people might pay attention to the New Posts box, s

I feel that a lot of HN visitors do not at all check out the "new" page. How about another solution, where the front page shows a box on top with last 3 submissions from the new page, so that every new post get's at least som

Well, that's where the "intentionally" part comes into play. People who voted for the campaign finance limits or the ACA, were not seeking to limit speech. Not every law that is eventually found to violate the first amendment

Would you not consider active and intentional erosion of the very cornerstone of the United States Constitution an act of War against the union. Couldn't one argue that by undermining the very definition of what makes America America,

That's not exactly true, your freedom of speech rights are limited by UCMJ, especially under Articles 82, 88, and 134, but not eliminated. You still have a right to attend peaceful demonstrations and such. It is, however, shameful how

Yet another example of waking up in the morning (late night last night), opening HN, clicking on the article, and doing a spit-take of my morning tea. It's good that they overturned it, but it was LEGAL at some point to jail people for

That's not true, you can NEVER sign away your first amendment right. Your first amendment right protects you against government, not private action. If you violate an NDA, your employer has the right to fire you and to sue you for dama

Even in the limited example given there is a clear path of attack. An extension that is permitted to access mail.gmail.com can simply collect its target data and then email it to its self and delete the email afterwords.

You are right, Trademarked, you can't copyright names. It would be an easy trademark case to make though.

I moved from Chicago to LA and thought the roads were an amazing improvement. Nowadays I drive 25k miles a year in CA and I think the roads are mostly fine. Last year I went on a road trip from Chicago to Kansas City and back. I don't

What does the iOS Facebook app uses? Couldn't be core data based on the fact that they claim they can not normalize the data ahead of time. The iOS app is nice and snappy, at least on my phone, though it does take some time to load.

OP here. I actually updated the blog to add another picture of the Foldy Quad vs. H Quad at 45 degree angle[1]. At 45 degree+ it does have a nice aerodynamic advantage. Of course, even cooler would be to encase the entire midsection into a

I use the text reader built into the OS, due to my Dyslexia, so I guess I never noticed :) For me it's just highlight and press the key to have the test read to me, I have "Samantha" cranked all the way to the top speed. That

Like you say, in the end, the point is, Safari would be a much better browser if it's UI was much more customizable. Of course, that's completely against Apple's idea that they know how it should look, and if your opinion is

For a long time I have been trying to switch to Safari, but the UI just does not work for my use case. I really need tabs with site icons, and an address bar that goes side to side and does not auto center text. Are there any good alternati

Perhaps a solution to this would be a Kickstarter like anti patent troll site. Patent trolls usually go after smaller businesses at first, businesses who could not possibly afford to fight, even if they wanted. The site would allow a busine

That's true, but isn't the company making these devices? If they are making them, they must have someone capable of operating an x-acto knife. Also, if you are concern about an attack that requires someone to load code very slowly
