#12She is inventing an industry for something every human on the planet does pretty much every day. Big market, disruptive technology. Yet somehow I don't see it on techcrunch.
I am reminded of pg's discussion on finding the taboo's in society.
We still have plenty.

#14I wonder if an article called "Hacking my Penis" would ever last long the HN front page.
Apparently that word is automatically deleted from titles. Coincidentally, I had just tried submitting an unrelated article about Miiverse drawing detection and had to replace it with "P*nis".

[edit] I ended up deleting the submission because it turned out to be an Onion-like site.

This is a sexist remark. It all depend on the content of the article. Did you take time to read the article? It's just great - full of technical details, including the reasoning behind the creation of the hack. Many times I've seen dumb things in the front page - complex pointless hacks (I remember one about locales and printf which advocated a libc recompile while I suggested a perl oneliner).

Uhm, to be frank, there are prostate "hacks". Explore at your own volition. http://wiki.malegspot.com/index.php?title=Main_Page (Not associated with them, and note that the wiki is run by a company selling the tools mentioned in the wiki)

Probably not. Then again the majority of HN's visitors are developers or designers, right? If so, they're job is to be as open-minded as possible, in which case it should last quite long. But probably not.

"Ingenious remote control vibrator, We-Vibe 3, boosts sexual intimacy and bettersex. Definitely among top couples gifts ideas and romantic gifts." This is what I get when I search remote vibrator. She isn't inventing an industry. She's just bored and wanted to customize the vibrator.
