Definitely the worst article to ever hit the #1 spot on HN. It looks like yesterday's WSJ editorial must have hit a raw nerve with a lot of HNers, and this makes them feel better. I'm okay with quality HN articles about politics. It's just

When it comes to advice: Wise men don't need it, and fools won't heed it. And those who want it the most, like it the least. There's plenty of fish in the sea. Life's too short to waste it with people who can't/won't return your affections.

I've been a customer of theirs for most of the last ten years. They used to be quite good. However, my recent experiences with them have convinced me that I will need to find a new provider when my certificates expire. With Thawte, you'll p

Recent technologies have allowed us to do almost everything using a screen. Unfortunately, all that extra screen time often takes a heavy toll in ways people are loathe to admit. http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-10446874-71.html http://

Only the first slide was visible when viewed in Firefox 3.6.3 and Chrome 4.1... It's Hard to believe that something so unviewable made it to the front page of HN.

Today must be April 1st. 25 dollars a month seems a wee bit overpriced. I wonder if YouTube could get away with charging that much for the millions of videos that they offer. In any case, at $25 per month, I would love to learn what percent

I'm sure you're smart enough to make changes that will boost the level of civility, and not reduce it. At the moment, the biggest reason not to zing someone with a cheap shot comment is the fact that you will soon find a negative number att

It seems that several different people at Google did plenty of communicating with Ron. What we have here is ( NOT ) a failure to communicate!

Why was there a big drop in crime for NYC in the '90's? Sometimes just one man can make all the difference. From Wikipedia: Rudy Giuliani served two terms as Mayor of New York City... He was credited with initiating improvements in the cit

In large parts of the USA, there is only one (or fewer) decent Internet providers. It's hard to let the free market decide when there is no real competition.

This is a nice affordable piece of hardware, but I'd have to imagine that most of the biggest ISPs (e.g., Fios, Comcast, etc) would not allow you to basically run your own web services via your home internet connection. But, if your ISP all

The essay's author is bemoaning the fact that 99.9% of the people in online discussion groups are all kvetching and no action. It may not bother you that "everyone's a critic", but it seems to me that any attempt to label this essay a failu

Not sure why such a poorly written opinion piece got submitted to HN. The author compares health care systems with the frivolous example of an old shoulder injury. A common form of cancer would have provided a much better illustration of th

Thanks for the prompt response. I gave it another try, and was surprised by how many hoops I had to jump through to get things working. There has got to be an easier way. People want this sort of thing to be "dead simple".

This is a great idea! However, when I tried your sample site, and clicked on this link: http://www.launchset.com/user/admin/linkaccounts/ I got this error message: "There was an error while handling your request."

Absurd? Ludicrous? Okay, maybe it's a bit of a stretch, but if you look at Microsoft's long track record of harming consumers, I wouldn't bet the farm against it. http://www.ecis.eu/documents/Finalversion_Consumerchoicepape...
