Very nice, I like the clean design. One suggestion: auto-loading when you hit the bottom of the page.
But then you'd have to move all the bottom navigation to the top (or side) or you'd never be able to see them :)

#52This is pretty cool. But seeing myself show up so high is really embarassing. Definitely don't deserve to be among those people.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
What are your suggestions for increasing our female population? If you are male and want to encourage women to show up and post as openly female, then engage the women in intelligent conversation. Don't gush at them about how great it is to, gee golly whiz, see A GIRL here. Please don't publicly try to hit on any of the women here. You are highly unlikely to get what you are looking for and all it does is make the gi…

#55Holy crap, 100k karma? I knew Paul Graham was cool (I've even told other people to read his essays), but I didn't know he was 100k karma cool.

#57I'm a fairly private guy, and I find this a bit creepy. I've never been more glad that I don't have a Twitter profile. (Which is not to say that I think that the developer is doing something wrong , or even unethical: if you have a Twitter profile with your picture on it, one could fairly argue that you've made a contract with the world that the information is public.

And then robo sells it on Amazon. (in reference to the guys selling Wikipedia entries as books.)

#59It's really interesting to see the people and their associated projects, companies, and institutions that contribute to the hn commentary. For a lot of the power users, I recognized their usernames and always sort of connected that to who they were professionally, but this really makes it clear.
I'm not sure if this is planned, but I'd guess some of the users wouldn't want the information collected and displayed like that, you might want to add the ability to remove yourself from that listing (so users aren't forced to censor or even delete their profiles).
On a side-note, I was having trouble with the gray on gray text, so I made up a quick alternate design for the site here, if anyone is interested: http://stylebot.me/styles/752

How is actually the comment "ownership" on Hackernews?
Do I still hold the rights on my own words or are they already owned by ycombinator or gone down the creative commons?
