If we're not able to attend but would like to submit our resume to the YCombinator companies, is there a good place to do so? I'd be tempted to submit my resume via the application…

Where does this nonsense come from? I can't take being silent and just flagging anymore. This is exactly The kind of story that made me stop reading digg then reddit... I really do…

Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed by the "7 degrees of hacker news" story stretch.

While interesting speculation, I don't understand why we've frontpaged this story on a community site generally focused on technology, startups and hacker culture. I'd love to see …

Have to agree. In general, as much as I like most of these alt stories that have been posted to HN lately, I came to HN to escape this sort of posting. I'm sure we could expand the…

Minor quibble from my 1st impression: Not really into the signin / signup form. From a usability perspective it just seems like it deviates a lot from what most users are familiar …

use it yourself , "eat your own dogfood" or however you would like to describe it. That's the most important one for me. If you're not using it to solve your own problems then what…

Agreed. You really need to read the CL TOS and make sure you're working with CL to use their data.

Your tough-love approach "...that's life, life is not fair, deal with it" is completely misguided and naive. I certainly hope that if you ever have children you don't use that mind…

As someone who works on a project with a team of dedicated engineers under fairly strict code guidelines including code reviews, I can tell you from experience none of these factor…

It would be an interesting legal case to say the least, especially because they do not indicate that they will provide further information about the warrant, or how to act other th…

Anyone use(ing) Potion for something other than just playing around with the source?

Have to agree. I really like the new Apple keyboards. They feel minimalist but with enough key travel that I know when the button has been fully pressed.

Frankly, it's what you would expect from them. An abuser doesn't stop beating when you confront him; he stops beating you when you leave. I'm not an iPhone developer, nor have I ev…

Agreed. My "real world" view involves avoiding Outlook any time I can, including business contexts.

If you think it's a dup, flag it. I'm tired of seeing these digg like dup comments. They come across as a power grab for community recognition and karma, not for bettering the cont…

I played around with node last night a bit more. Here are one noob's observations: For most things it feels pretty fast. A simple timer output showed less than 1, 1, 2 or 3 millise…

Built it without a hitch on a Mac. Ran the demo which seems clean and pretty snappy. I'm not familiar with how other libraries might be implemented, like mysql, sqlite, etc so I gu…

This is something I've wanted to work on for months, but I lack the EE experience to do the physical side of things. Great to see it happening though.

Some people really need to be on the offensive to get things done. They need to feel like someone else is the enemy and they are going to defeat them. It seems to me like Zed puts …

Why working at a startup? You have an image of an ideal that may be a fallacy. I work at a startup and it's not all fun and games. 1) It's a lot of work, 2) there is a lot of burea…

This is all typical technology-is-killing-society-and-making-you-stupider bombastic drivel. When the mail system was instituted in the US a part of the population claimed it would …

The article was posted on Sept 11, 2006. Let's let it go.

> Rails stuff is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Ruby. I really like Python and have the exact opposite opinion as you. That is, to me, Rails is very like Ruby and Django is…
