Article gone :(

I think you should just accept how other people want to discuss things on the internet. If you can't handle the mainstream then find a niche were your own brand of 'intellectual' d…

You seem to know your way round words so I'd advise freelance writing. Submit a few articles to a few places that are relevant to your interests and fairly current. Naturally takin…

That's hilarious.

If someone else is cc'ed in then people feel pressure to reply as they aren't just ignoring one person, there's a whole other person expecting a reply. Even if that person is someo…

I got defeated by the paywall. What's the jist of the article?

personality =/= birthday Am I missing something here?

This is not a satisfactory experiment, at least from the article, which may be making the wrong conclusion from a study that doesn't make that claim itself. The problem is that the…

This is so dumb. If a business wants it's latest idea/product to be kept on the down low then you should just respect that. Don't get all high and mighty about it. A business is en…

Looks like it drew influence from Thunderbird 2 to me, as well as Serenity.

Make a website offering a free service that a moderate amount of people would use/could be convinced to use. Monetise via ads, and bam passively fund yourself for a few months whil…

This is what I was thinking, and since this guy said it, I gave him an upvote. Now I'm not sure if I'm making a mockery of the system or falling for it...

Uh, that's awesome. Actually really well laid out and visually appealing, and understandable. EDIT: ooh actually, could do with an option to remove/add the sliding time selection. …

The video of the flight just screams fake, it's like the uncanny valley feeling. You just know something is wrong with what you're watching. Almost there though, all very elaborate…

r/gaming in my opinion, very good demographic, they're aren't just PC/console nuts, but actual game enthusiasts who will have an interest in games across every medium they have acc…

Should be obvious but put it up on Reddit too, free marketing. Though it's kind of pot luck whether your submission will draw attention, although somebody else might copy your subm…

You just spam the same blog everyday, every few hours sometimes. Please stop, this isn't news anymore. I don't like to complain on HN as everything here is usually interesting to s…

Used to use Launchy loads a few years ago, brilliant little program, moved on the Executor http://executor.dk/ for a bit more power (keyboard shortcuts specifically). Launchy may h…

No car. Simply because the upfront cost was too much, fuel just keeps getting higher and public transport/walking has been completely adequate. Only time I've needed a car is when …
