Look here for good times to post: http://hnpickup.appspot.com/ Hope this helps. :)

Sweet, could you add the option to change the timezone though please? (Maybe even detect mine? :D)

I'd love to but it's not mine! :) Just something useful I found, possibly in a HN comment somewhere? I can't remember!

This is like a NASCAR race, many (most?) of us watching secretly hope for a spectacular crash. It's wrong, but the potential of schadenfreude is very tempting.

I'm guilty of wishing FB a bit of schaden myself, but if they actually have a business on their hands and the market reflects that in the coming months and years, the effect is that access to capital for all of us will not be a problem for the next decade. Think of the effect that the Google IPO has had on access to angel and other investment capital. Two of my angels are former Googlers and my previous business was…

I think if most wishes it to tank, its not because of envy, but rather because we all see how people lose control over their private data in the name of chilling out with friends on the cool website. This is extremely sweet candy that feels so good right now, but eventually you will throw up and have cavities.

To me a wake-up call was a huge investment that FB accepted from DST.

So what I'm guessing is my $40 limit order is not going to get filled...

Give it 6 months.

Hahaha, that was actually what I realized.. only if it was a mistake to buy would my order get filled. Or a very random fluke resulting in a fill before it jumps to ~60+

update: got my order filled. Maybe a mistake. Please go 'like' something.

Many fewer people in North America were awake and on HN two hours ago. Timing is key.

I wonder what the optimal time is to post to HN. Do people usually wake up, check HN and then go about their day? If so, around 9-10:30AM EST? Or maybe if most HNers come from the west coast, would it be 9 - 10:30AM PST?

they didn't include HN in their writeup, but the bitly folks had a blog post about this topic pretty recently. They looked at posting times for Twitter, FB, and Tumblr. http://blog.bitly.com/post/22663850994/time-is-on-your-side

Actually most web 2.0 startups and especially social startups will be positively affected from an investment perspect, from a successful facebook start.

ok, so this started happening last night for me and some friends I pinged: I clicked on a picture (multiple of them!) and each time I see this shit: http://postimage.org/image/rvdiya58z/full/ I say Facebook IS in a lot of financial troubles!!

I think you have a virus or other kind of malware on your box.

nope, sorry. I thought the same but after trying on 3 different browsers and 2 computers, same effect.

to downvoters: hello Facebook staff!

Won't FB being a fizzer lead to the markets drying up for everyone else for a while?
