Doesn't matter. I would never use my main linkedin account to login, and I won't bother to create a(nother) linkedin account just to access your service. Nor would I ever want to d…

I could easily "never work again" with $3M.

I have one large (and several small) personal projects to accomplish during the next year or two of my life (including building a new house) and one professional programming projec…

I've had a gmail account for years yet I still have not received an invitation from google to join G+ ... so why should I care about its success or failure when I cannot even use i…

What truly annoys me is the proliferation of Javascript links. They prevent me from opening the page in a new tab, and I have learned that VERY OFTEN I prefer to open pages in new …

So you're saying that by NOT giving people an easy notification system HN avoids dealing with some of the folks who might be more tempted to ruin it, right? That makes sense ... I …

I just received my first email notice from notifo and it's still not clear to me when I will (and will not) receive email notices at HN: Will I get them ONLY when someone replies t…

"Well, I didn't make it. :-)" I know, I wasn't complaining about anything you've done. I just think the lack of information on its availability is lame-brained, and the fact that n…

Well, I didn't have any idea what that "notifo" term meant ... and in fact I still don't. So you're suggesting that the blank notifo field in my profile, with no explanation of how…

Will HN ever support email notices to people who start threads or post to threads ... to alert them that new messages have been posted? If not, what about supporting individual RSS…

I think this thread has served its purpose. Workflowy appears to be the ideal tool for what I need. If someone has a better suggestion please email me, my email address is in my pr…

I will start by looking at workflowy since you like its ability to focus on a single task when that's all you care about at that time. Thanks. (edit: I think workflowy may be the o…

I've tried pen and paper and it doesn't work well for me. I have no time or desire to rewrite my tasks every day. There are literally hundreds of them, each with tens or hundreds o…

it doesn't have to be online, but it must run on a computer. There, I hope this makes it clear that pen (or pencil) and paper is not an option ... :)

If you can post a URL and/or provide some reasons why you say this is a good one, that would be helpful. (edit: I found a program called "Getting Things GNOME!" that is probably si…

Please do not post time-wasting comments like this. I asked a serious question and I would appreciate a thoughtful and useful answer.

I'm seeking a simple to-to list, outliner, or task manager to help me list individual tasks -- and to sub-list in priority order the steps needed to accomplish each task. I think a…

I've been a programmer for 15+ years and I'm very very good in the capabilities you say you're looking for. I am also very business-minded having run my own outsource programming s…

One of my clients has so many web-based requests that he asked me to build a better system, and this system is basically what I came up with. A visitor wants to use one of our requ…

Interviews are not illegal and they are typically a very important part of the hiring process, so I don't see this as a problem.

U.S. banks have gone through dramatic changes in recent years. Now nearly all of them require proof of U.S. residency. Local banks ask you to appear in person and online banks use …

"she just happened to be completely ignorant about there being a way that she could avoid the obvious legal issues" I think she has known all along that she's been running her busi…

One thing I really hate is when a website like this uses javascript links unnecessarily. They prevent me from opening the linked pages in new tabs, so I have to switch back and for…

I have NO ONE who prefers facebook to email. Then again I'm not a very social person online. I use the Internet primarily for research (self-education, it's like a huge free librar…
