You can "unfollow" people that you have added, so that their posts no longer show up on your news feed. You still have them added as a friend, you just don't see their posts without visiting their profile page.

This seems to be the most obvious thing they're missing. I can't stand trying to read through HN comments without a greasemonkey script.

These title changes are getting ridiculous. The original title was actually descriptive. I have no idea what this article is about without going to the comments or clicking on it. The whole point of a link title is to describe the link.

There are keyboard shortcuts to manually sync audio/video.
