> Digg's site-killing redesign Wasn't that all because they entirely changed the content model though? It wasn't just a UI change. Wasn't it because paid-for-junk was going to be most of what was in your face or something of that nature?
Sure, but that's a UX change, and that's what the parent was suggesting for CL.

I imagine many do, you just don't hear about them. For example I know a few people who are millionaires but you wouldn't know it to talk to them. They don't live overly extravagant lives. They have a nice house, some hobbies (e.g. a very nice car(s), a private plane, an art collection), a job they enjoy and friends they spend time with. At least for those I know didn't strike it rich with some novel idea, they ran a…
That's because that's basically all you can do with only $1M these days! The US is nothing but a grievous lie--we have allowed a tiny few to extract all the wealth to the tippy tippy top. I can't even believe people work for like $50K in most places anymore, they should be taking up arms at this point.
Please don't post political or ideological rants to HN, regardless of which flavor. It's not what this site is for and we eventually ban accounts that do it.
The very first sentence of the article - "On March 1, 1995, fired off an email to his friends." - is not a valid sentence, it's missing the subject! facepalm
UPDATE: I've reported the issue to Outline.com

- Make the UI consistent - Stop using abbreviations everywhere (at least in the French version) - Add structure and semantics to content (not just some blank text fields where people type arbitrary descriptions) - Improve classification using image recognition and mechanical turks - Make an open API available - Get rid of sub-domains - Add trust/reputation mechanisms
I think you are confused as to what Craigslist is/wants to be. Wtf is wrong with subdomains? There's nothing inconsistent about the UI.
Are you kidding me?

not on international flights from what i hear
No, I flew international first class and international economy. I stand by what I said, it's the difference between being uncomfortable and being slightly less uncomfortable. You're still stuck on a plane.

I'm happier for it, as otherwise you wind up with garbage ads from the smaller lots. For example, they'll list the monthly payment instead of the price, which makes wading through 'sort by increasing price' a PITA. Or they'll put a bunch of SEO keywords into the ad such that their vehicle shows up on a search that it shouldn't.
Not to mention the places that post the same ad every day or even more frequently. Hmm, I'm interested in a Subaru. (I search Subaru) 500 listings of the same BMW x5 come up. Nevermind, let's see what Hondas are on the market. 500 listings of the same BMW x5 come up. I throw my computer out the window.

I get that the Bay Area is nice, but a lot of expensive housing is expensive because of its proximity to high-paying jobs. If you don't need one of those, you can live more cheaply. (Unfortunately, proximity to smart, creative people also seems to correlate with housing costs. I wonder what US cities have the best "proximity to interesting people to living expense" ratio?) I think Mr. Money Mustache lives in some Col…
> I wonder what US cities have the best "proximity to interesting people to living expense" ratio I wonder what place, worldwide , city or not, has the best "proximity to interesting people" : cost-of-living ratio. I'm at a place in my life where I'd be willing to both immigrate and learn a language if it meant finding myself in this century's Venice.
Your Kansas Citys and Cincinnatis and so on are full of interesting people. And they have a lot of what you'd expect from larger coastal cities, albeit on a smaller scale.
And, despite what the HN crowd thinks, they got the WWW 25 years ago there, too.
Forbes is unequivocally the worst website I have the displeasure of being linked to on a regular basis. Readability is quickly approaching 0. This page kept hijacking my scroll thru the article to keep an ad at the top of my window. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
I won't even try clicking another forbes link from now on.

>ah I've set my UI to always use my colors :D white over black background How do you specify that? Are you using Stylish or something?
In Firefox 53: Go to Preferences ("Options" on Windows), select the "Content" section, click the "Colors..." button, and change the "Override the colors specified by the page with your selections above" dropdown to "Always". In current nightly: Go to Preferences/Options, select the "General" section, scroll down to the "Colors..." button in the "Fonts & Colors" part, then as above.
