I echo these takeaways! I also stumbled upon a few of these meetups while briefly living in BA, and the people I met during these meetups and conversations we had were many of highlights of that fun chapter of my life. Thank you Morgan for facilitating these!


OH MY GOD DANNY DOVER!!!!! I had no idea you read HN!!!! Our conversations were always so awesome! Wow long time, I'll send you a DM somewhere on some platform, let's catch up!


The podcast, Steal This Idea, does exactly what you are looking for. The hosts and their guests come up with most of the ideas, but listeners can submit ideas as well: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/steal-this-idea/id1472...


This is a reoccurring trend with Feedly (taking advantage of content creators while making money off of their content)

Unlike most RSS readers, Feedly refuses to share how many readers a content creator has via their user-agent (the standard method for doing this). When I asked them about this, they simply said to wait for analytics in 2014. https://twitter.com/feedly/status/408797947053101058

Are you going to make me pay for that too Feedly?

I really like their product but can't stand their policies. Why piss off the very same people who are feeding your product?


If you do a search for your feed you will see the number of readers.

Right now the API is limited to developers building user facing apps. Offering a long term API to other kinds of developers is not a commitment we are ready to make.

The analytics we mentioned in that tweet will be free.


You have yet to open up an API to all your users, with some hidden approval process cloaked behind a google doc form.

One of the reasons I signed up for Feedly coming out of GR was the promise of an API available, a promise that still hasn't been fulfilled.


Have a look at kouio, the app itself uses the public rest API, so it's been available since day one:

What's the issue with using the same user-agent method that's a standard with other feed-readers? Seems like you're doing extra work so that blog authors can also do extra work.


Hi forktheif,

I am the author of this article. The wikipedia article on suicide rates (which I am assuming you found via google) uses data from 2009 as its source. The article I wrote uses data from 2011 (which is the most recently available.) More details here: http://www.lifelisted.com/blog/happens-everything-goes-right...


Can't you link to those numbers?


Thanks for the feedback thus far (especially the media query inputs), let me know if there is anything else you think should be updated/corrected! (Context: I wrote the applicable post)


Quick tip, you can use the promo code 'switch2nc' to save a dollar off each transfer.

(I am not affiliated with namecheap, the promo code or anything related. I am just cheap :-p)


Don't forget about Larry! His page is at http://infolab.stanford.edu/~page/ . The images are broken on the Stanford version, so I corrected the image sources and reposted it at http://bit.ly/6iO8Bk . (Hopefully he forgives me...)


I have always wanted to create a widget that would go into a dishwasher and change color after the cycle was completed. This way, you would always know if the dishes were clean :-)

It might work based on heat (drying cycle) or via a reaction with soap.


Hmmm. My wife is always asking "are the dishes in the dishwasher clean or dirty?" Maybe I'll build one of these when I'm bored and want something to do. Shouldn't take more than a lazy Saturday morning to do.


And this would be better than checking the dishes themselves?

With regards to the constructive criticism about the date of the article, thank you and I will keep that in mind next time.

I submitted this article because I genuinely thought it was interesting and wanted to share it with like minded tech savvy people. (My real life friends wouldn't really care about this :-p)

I chose to submit this page rather than the newer version ( http://eff.org/issues/printers ) because I found the image of the dots on this webpage very interesting. I figured if people were interested they could click the "For up-to-date" information link. I will save everyone a click next time.


Disclaimer: I work at SEOmoz

"If there is ONE thing I wish everyone at HN understood in their bones about SEO, it is that the ROI on it is just freaking amazing."

I couldn't agree more. I am frustrated and humbled to see so many intelligent people in this community that I respect be so utterly against SEO. The worst part for me is seeing so many entrepreneurs simply disregard it as an option.

I don't care if you use SEOmoz's products or our competitors, SEO is a legitimate marketing tool and I truly believe it can help everyone here build better businesses.
