There are a million cloud drives out there (some with advanced privacy features), what's different about Mega?

I believe he was being sarcastic.

Not that impressive (to me at least). Food delivery has been around since forever- pizza gets to my house in 10 minutes. I don't see why groceries should be different.

Alternatively, learn to play blindfold chess. Much more challenging than Lumosity.

Quora (http://quora.com) helps me learn new things every day in all subjects.

Considering the 10.3% unemployment rate in the EU right now, I doubt your fellow Europeans share the same viewpoint.

Try Dropsync, it works wonders.

I didn't have WebGL so I didn't get to see what all the hype was about at first.

For the rest of you who are unlucky like me, here's a GIF a Redditor kindly posted: http://i.imgur.com/58mgx.gif

Everyone who says Bing is better or Google is better should try a blind test.

I wonder if selling the most popular Wikipedia articles in printed form for around $100 would have a market.

UC must be one of the expensive schools. The average isn't too bad:

"In 2011-12, public four-year colleges charge, on average, $8,244 in tuition and fees for in-state students. The average surcharge for full-time out-of-state students at these institutions is $12,526."

After the image is generated, I think you should put a download button as well as Facebook and Twitter buttons for sharing.

I'm sure this will appeal to some people, but for the practical ones, Gentle Alarm for Android has all of these features. And it's only $2.86 :)

I love the !bang searches and use them daily. Even on a regular search, the zero-click gives me what I want quickly. I'd like to see DDG improve on the following things:

-Instant Search: maybe I've been spoiled by Google, but DDG feels slow in comparison

-Foreign language searches: Have you tried them? They're absolutely horrible.

-Ads: They're not relevant at all.

Nope, the article mentions that.

"If all other credentials are equal, Asian-Americans need to score 140 points more than whites, 270 points higher than Hispanics, and 450 points above African-Americans out of a maximum 1600 on the math and reading SAT to have the same chance of admission to a private college, according to “No Longer Separate, Not Yet Equal,” a 2009 book co-written by Princeton sociologist Thomas Espenshade."

I think this has some worrying implications, For example, could someone hack into your car and make it crash while making it look like an innocent accident?

Um...use Bing.

The following companies companies have already joined the boycott: Wikipedia, Imgur, StackOverflow, and the Cheezburger network. Medium-large businesses are joining, and we have seen the effects of it already.

This shows that all the efforts by the online community to raise awareness about SOPA are having some effect. Keep it up!

You might be surprised to know that the founding fathers supported whistle-blowers: "Nearly two centuries later, the Supreme Court justice William O. Douglas, praising the founders’ commitment to freedom of speech, wrote: 'The dominant purpose of the First Amendment was to prohibit the widespread practice of government suppression of embarrassing information.'" http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/13/opinion/13kohn.html?_r=1

Thank you so much! I use Android and this is amazing. As a side note, I saw a blog post on HN a while back detailing how to get 16GB of storage on Dropbox for under $10 using their referral system: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3126173

It looks amazing. 200 characters is a really short amount of space to post an argument; why did you choose this number?

I'm confused. What is this supposed to do?

Quora has many entrepreneurs and intellectuals who are happy to answer questions. It's not anything like HN, but maybe it'll help you.

The benefit is that it (allegedly) improves your search results. If someone in your social circle +1'd something, it affects your search results.

Will a DDOS attack affect a website that gets billions of pageviews per month anyways?

How do they have enough money to do this? Web.com's (WWWW) market cap is only 236.51M according to Yahoo Finance.

The patents are so broad that any new invention is likely to be patented already.
