Oh God no. YC is too unimaginative. They settle for "also rans" and are too prepared to lose. And Steve could never tolerate the money-fixation of PG and co. Steve was always about…

Choice. That jolly old chap is the icon for my iPhone home screen. Unfortunately, the site doesn't play well with the iPhone.

Having a track record really helps. If you've already put out something cool or remarkable into the world, and you have an audience, post a want ad. I'm just saying this because it…

If this switch works for me, and I can finally be free of my PayPal taskmasters, I'll be subscribing to your candy service!

Interesting. You're all acting like a swarm of ants in downvoting me. Think about it.

You claim insects are like "machines" that "mercilessly slaughter". If insects have no sentient attributes like mercy, how can they slaughter others mercilessly? You can't have you…

Karma is a boomerang. You'll see.

I'm not a "meater" and yet I like imitation meat. Maybe a fake hot dog on the rare occasion. I concur with everything else you said though.

Not to derail too much, but insects are much misunderstood and wrongly vilified, which is why I wrote Take the Humane Stance with Ants: http://allsprawldown.com/animal-ethics/takin…

I left Facebook, but not to join anything else. I sometimes scratch my head why I signed up in the first place. If family or friends want to reach me, email has held up surprisingl…

Sheeple mentality for the most part. I will be downvoted into oblivion for saying it, but it's true.

Depends on how in love you are with the idea. If you feel like you could own it, and really do something special with it, then do it. However, if it's really about money - save you…

I think Page and Plant did know. We learn and live by how others react to us. It's how we get a sense of who we are, how "good looking" and "smart" we are. It's a constant process …

I said much the same thing about the Megaupload debacle: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4047683 I see it here all the time, by users with extremely high karma.

I think you've got to be more proactive about securing a domain name nowadays. You wait and it could be gone (it's happened to me before). It sucks though, because I end up with lo…

This is a deceptive and manipulative title that preys on a sensitive issue during hard economic times. You should be ashamed.

Whoa. Awesome job. Looks good even on my iPhone. I'll be using it for my home page. I recommend submitting this website again in a few days. It deserves more attention.

When asked, he would divert the issue to Apple products. Always back to Apple.

I was debating whether to use Office 365 or another Microsoft variant for awhile now, but this update is really snappy. Debate is over.

HN is every bit as "cliquey" as high school.

Maybe it's because I often use Facebook on behalf of retail businesses and consumer brands, but I've found Facebook's disregard for privacy unnerving for years now? And you haven't…

This email, again? You guys must be new around here. Seriously. The email isn't that big of a deal. If this amazes you in any way, get outside more.

I probably won't be using those buttons, but I appreciate the sense of humor :)

Looking back at some of the earlier HN conversations, when Megaupload was first shut down by the US, you can see those who made damning accusations and blind assumptions that Megau…
