I am surprised no one's mentioned http://www.thesixtyone.com/ yet...

They might be not from the US?

Firefox history shows only page titles and I am always glad for the "Hacker News |". Though I wouldn't mind it being shortened to "HN|". But then again, page titles are prominently…

For a web app, what is the least painful way to achieve internationalization? What language/framework would you use if you were writing a fresh one from scratch? I had tried to con…

I did the same, except it's been a month and I am still waiting for the documents to arrive. Director registration took a week and then name verification itself took another couple…

Duck. Rubber duck actually... ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging )

Fair enough. I guess I will just have to learn to take HN articles on science with much much bigger grains of salt.

Your initial concerns are addressed by openid "personas". myopenid.com has them implemented and is free (or you could set up your own server to achieve it). https://www.myopenid.co…

In case you really want to just replicate your old workflow, look up personas and openid delegation. Together they should resolve all your problems. https://www.myopenid.com/help#p…

I hope this helps. I think the problem with writing simple introductions to openid is that it just offers too many options and it is difficult to decide how to approach. Here is an…

New login. There is a new login on your profile page. That will allow you to associate an alternate openid. You can swap alternate and primary openid on the profile page and every …
