Does HN have any set community guidelines written out?

These redesigns are always nice to look at, but there are usually a lot of functional considerations they ignore.

This is really solid advice. Here's the Archimedes reference in case you didn't remember it immediately like me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka_(word)

Here's a teaser trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3izOJ7zX5I0

Questionable source imo.

Seems like this can only be good for consumers.

Why would you disable pinchzoom?

The reasons:

1. It is about time California was properly represented with Senators in Washington. Now our number of Senators per person will be about average.

2. Competition is good, monopolies are bad. This initiative encourages more competition and less monopolistic power. Like all competitive systems, costs will be lower and service will be better.

3. Each new state can start fresh. From a new crowd sourced state flower to a more relevant constitution.

4. Decisions can be more relevant to the population. The regulations in one new state are not appropriate for another.

5. Individuals can move between states more freely.

How celebrities behave on reddit seems to be a good indication of how they actually are in real life.

Good point, so I guess 2* would actually be some sort of factor of your willingness to take risk.

Is there a good formula for figuring out taking a lower salary in exchange for options? For example:

.

Current Salary On Open Market = X

Startup Salary = Y

Option Value Today = Z

.

4(X) = 4(Y)+Z(2)

this is obviously the big IF, if people are saying think of it as windfall, maybe 1.5??

If the same post is at the top of reddit and hackernews at the same time I'm pretty sure the internet implodes and life as we know it comes to an end.

There is functionality for doing polls once you hit a certain karma threshold.

February 2013 - 60 Million Photos Per Day

November 2013 - 350 Million Photos Per Day

That's some serious growth. Seeing that much growth over a nine month period probably has a huge influence on why they think a better offer will come around.

Getting paid for an idea? It's every MBAs dream come true!

Surprised it doesn't exist already.

$40k? Seems steep.

Tim Cook's point carries over to customers as well. For me, knowing a company is taking a progressive stance on human and civil rights goes a long way towards how I view them.

Bitbucket twitter account claims it was a result of routine file maintenance and it has been resolved, but they will continue to monitor: https://twitter.com/bitbucket

How long has it been down?

edit: so it looks like it went down between 9:30 and 10 am EST.

I agree with what you're saying. Something needs to be off by much more before I'd personally call it a bubble. Interesting read regardless.

I think the title is a bit misleading, but good points raised and good data to back it up.

My understanding is that many of the problems were caused by things forced on the developers.

I was kind of wondering about this as well, the line between the smallest low end Macbook Pro and the high end Macbook Air is blurring. Perhaps they will eventually roll all the Macbooks into one product line again?

Bystanders beat the guy up after he vandalized it and then they tried their best to restore it: http://gothamist.com/2013/10/17/banksy_bed_stuy.php#photo-1

Personally I think TechCrunch's content is the issue, not the design. Although this design is much improved, I'd also like to see them make some editorial changes. Step in the right direction regardless.

Rapportive is another app that people might find useful if they have this sort of problem. It is a plugin for gmail that pulls in social media profiles to attach a name to a face when emailing with someone.

Total bitcoins in existence ~12M

Bitcoins claimed to be owned by people participating in this poll ~35M

This seems like a good way to grow adoption. If more web developers build for Firefox first, it follows that clients/customers/company employees would also be encourage to adopt it.
