"one possibility is that the more serious candidates (the ones we know are going to win anyway) are more attractive. Maybe you have some goofy-looking people who decide to run in districts where they don't have a chance, whereas the politicians who really have a shot at being in congress take the time to get their hair cut, etc."

Good info. Did not know this. I'll take a look...

Can I write a recommendation engine for HN?

Simple item-based (hackers who upvoted this article also upvoted...) and/or user-based (hackers who upvoted similar articles to you, upvoted ... ) recommendations would be cool to see on HN, possibly as a way to access (relatively) older content that one might have missed. this assumes people are actually away from the site long enough to miss something -- unlikely. addicts!

I use it on my mbp. I agree the feature set is inferior, but its the only browser that can handle the 50+ tabs i like to have open at once. ff3 eats up cpu and overheats things.

The internet has made media non-excludable and the media aren't willing to accept this, for understandable reasons--a non-rival and non-excludable good doesn't make you much money! Short sell!

Oh, what a saint! unbelievable. i hope everyone sees this sniffling wretch for what he is. PITTY??? you want our PITTY?? the freaking nerve.

disagree completely. ada???
