No, it sounds like picking winning businesses. Big difference. Warren Buffet has said that he's a business picker, not a stock picker.

Agreed. Apple does this all the time when presenting new products. Of course it's the best/lightest/fastest version of the product. Why would they release a new version that is wor…

When I visited wikipedia today, there was a small widget that let me set up a monthly payment. I have never donated before, but I liked the idea of a small monthly amount so I sign…

Does anyone know why Chrome uses   (non-breaking-space) before and after inline tags such as anchor and italics? This behavior causes lines to sometime break much sooner than …

Does this technology require clear skies/do clouds block the laser?

I hope someone will step up and create a canvas-based html editor to embed in web-pages. The current solution using contentEditable has lots of cross-browser and cross-platform iss…

"An historic event" is wrong: An is the form of the indefinite article that is used before a spoken vowel sound: it doesn’t matter how the written word in question is actually spel…

I agree, but sometimes it makes sense to have a specific order. For example, it makes sense to get history questions in a chronological order. Maybe you should be able to choose. R…

I use ClueMe to refresh things I want to know. For example, after reading on HN that there is a ISO-standard for storing sexes in a database, I made a short note that I repeat regu…

Nice app! I'm not a designer, but I think some of the buttons look disabled. In particular, the "Mark group as read" has gray text on gray background with very little contrast.

I need a favicon. Will you do it for ten bucks?

The first book I searched for (Guns, Germs and Steel) shows up in the auto suggest, but not in the search results. Disappointing.

I like Workflowy. However, I'm used to jumping between words using ctrl+arrow keys. When I do that in Workflowy, I'm taken a level up or down. It's very hard to get used to.

The author doesn't mention what I think is a factor: a good name. I think its a portemanteau of instant and telegram. The word "telegram" has a old school charm. At the same time i…

I agree. It's good that you can change the default, but the default needs to be better. Design matters.

Number 2: I don't think high-end restaurants want to show images of their dishes. For some reason it does not seem classy. Perhaps that's not an issue for the low/medium range.

When Dalai Lama received the prize in 1989, the relationship between Norway and China became ice cold for a few years. Then everything went back to normal. Presumably, that will be…

I use a program I created called ClueMe ( http://www.clueme.no ). If I want to remember something I create a question or a note and add it to a list. Every day I repeat five to ten…

Does anyone know why they won't release full books on the web? Seems like the demand would be strong.
