Completely sincere question, how would you personally define a reasonable wage?

I spent a couple hours the other night lying awake in bed dreaming of spending one year trying to help someone new every day. I was thinking it would be cool to dedicate each work day of the year to meeting someone new and offering my hours

There is an occasional event that happens to me while on HN where I see a title that catches my eye because it rings a certain bell in my mind. I click through the link and as the page loads my stomach fills with butterflies as I experience

Great point. I'm not at all trying to detract from what they have chosen to spend their time building. I'm simply giving my perspective which can be taken as feedback for the builders or alternatively just sideline commentary on

I was hoping this would be implemented as: - I sign up to donate at least a dollar a day. - There is a growing list of non-profits supported. - I get emails with newly added ones. - For each non-profit I get to choose to either: a) add a fu

Congrats Josh! I think I like this model of investment a lot for a company like Stripe. Rather than trying to copy or buy Baremetrics and add that to the list of things Stripe would need to focus on, invest in someone who spend all day ever

I clicked through expecting an app that offered a nostalgic walk down memory lane with screenshots and features of the Windows operating system. I'm not sure why that is the first thing that came to mind, but it did. While that would h

This is actually pretty interesting. I think many people have thought of a product along these lines and, as mentioned by others, there have been several versions of this tried. I think the key is in the constraints you have outlined. Obvio

I think it would be helpful if HN allowed an optional inclusion of author name along with title which could be displayed next to the title. The author of an article is more often than not the only additional context needed to make a link ti

The coast takes a sharp turn straight west just north of Santa Monica so from Venice looking north west you see Malibu and the Santa Monica mountains. Therefore during the summer the sun does in fact set behind the Santa Monica mountains as

For my parents and many of their friends the primary motivation was along this line of thinking. I'm not saying this is a totally fair or accurate line of thought but it is the line of thinking that leads one to decide to homeschool. I

Does the kind of deployment standards, documentation and support that you describe already exist for other web frameworks (Rails for instance)? I've only used a few frameworks and only Django in production. Just curious if we are behind the

Cool idea. Do you know anything about what percentage of Kickstarter funders come from links that the fund raiser posts vs. Kickstarter.com? Just curious if it will be harder to raise funds if not on the Kickstarter.com domain.

Thanks for the feedback. I totally agree with the your point that if spending more time coding was my number one priority outside of the other things mentioned I could make time for that. Without laying out every single detail of my life, i

My reaction was to the very first line of the piece. "Swearing is a strong tool. It can be a particularly strong tool during presentations." I get that Zach believes he is building a connection and empathy by using profanity. My argument is
