Yes, it's sexist, and it's pretty confusing UI when in other contexts they're using their newer arrow-boxy form fill icon. Nothing about two humans says 'fill forms' to me. I don't think you'll get anywhere with Joe…
How many what? My employer has to nag me every year to use up my leave days. If they don't, I forget! I'm on the autistic spectrum and easily get caught up in routine. Generally I use holiday time strictly for…
I go for 64 as a default length, but it's surprising how many sites respond with "No! You can't havee more than 8/10/12 characters or I'll sulk!" Makes me extremely suspicious re: just how they're storing them.
Damn, I really should have thought of this when switching over to my current password manager. Upvoted and soon to be put into action!
I may have to cancel my monthly RSPCA donation so I can pay for my house. That'd be sad.
I see an upvote arrow next to comments and stories, and I'm a very infrequent poster with next to zero karma. No idea how to tell if my upvotes 'count' or not.
I like NewsBlur's training feature that lets me block things I hate. This poll has convinced me to give Digg a go, though. Thanks guise.
I actually read HN through the RSS feed, which I assume contains everything posted. The noise-to-signal ratio is high, but I've had some luck training my RSS aggregator to hide anything related to startups. After that,…
Oh hell, is it? Quite often I'm short on cash and just tip with the change I have - not tiny-denomination coins, I hasten to add, but 50ps/£1s. Bugger.
I need to do more. I've made some steps towards doing most of my browsing over Tor (because it's no use if you /only/ use the proxy when you're doing embarrassing stuff!) and I plan to start encrypting my email using…
Very definitely years. It wasn't just for finished programmes (i.e. ~ number-of-channels*24 hours of footage/day): it was for all rushes. All the footage that was filmed in the course of making the final programme.…
Yes. "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic." I don't know what US telly news covers, but this is by no means a niche story. HN is being swamped here and IMO it's degrading the impact of the story. I'd…
I wave!
>I've appreciated my time on HN specifically because I notice many replies to "inflamed" speech specifically eschew further inflammation and focus on the mindful discussion. Bravo. I, too. It's almost like my IRL…
My answer is: sort of. I use the same username across several services - it's unique, it's short and it's mine, and in the internet scheme of things it's unequivocally associated with my real name. That said, do I…
Upvoted, even though I'm in the "get out!" brigade. It's hard for us to have perspective and we'll never have the full story. All the same, a lot of us have experience falling prey to a sunk cost fallacy/gambler's…
Get out. Your co-founders sound like hucksters and you're in the grip of the gambler's fallacy. The longer you wait the worse the inertia and eventual pain will be. Take the hit, walk away and make use of the positive…
Opportunity for advancement. And money. More than that, I'd be looking for a company that was amazing at staff development, really cared for its staff and stood up for them, and furthermore a company doing something I…
But, um, why do you assume people are clicking "other" for fun and not clicking "female" or "male" for fun? Do you have data about people's reasons for clicking? Is there some data on HN's readers' gender distribution…

KJ? A pseudonym of Iain? I reckon she'd be highly amused at that... "For example, I don't much enjoy reading Iain M. Banks, simply because his world-view and mine don't coincide much; but I’ve learned an enormous amount…
