Looks like a blogger figured out the Google news alerts "email me" feature.

Are the imgur links the wrong way round?

I agree Keyle. This is exactly what I said above and got greyed out for (deleted post above). I don't have time to read useless crap on here. I come here for good, useful content about startups and tech.
HN is very easy to shill vote up on own posts though, and I suggest thats what is happening here. A large part of its quality came from its obscurity.
It's becoming famous and its time to make a new one.

Hello,
Although many content pieces on the internet are provided completely free, some of the content producers make a living from the advertising revenue their work provides. Without that revenue, they would stop producing their interesting articles.
Your application circumvents this revenue stream.
How do you feel about this?

If you run a node on Bitcoin, aren't you technically a payment processor?
I wouldn't be surprised if this is step 1 of a 3 step plan on Bitcoin takedown. Clever too I might add, so props to whoever came up with it.

In my Adwords experience I can safely say Google has the worst customer experience I have ever known. It makes Ebay look good.
Buyers should note these are cheap because they're going to be tracking your every move. Every site you visit and everything you type will be logged using the autocomplete function as it already is within Chrome.

Make an extra special effort to stay in touch with friends.

Let's say you're having an affair. Hypothetically of course...would this then show your wife your new "friend"?

Not really, but people like to think it does. Also the Panda update led many to believe they need a 2000 word article minimum. Which is just plain wrong.

Do you have a link to "the essays of PG"? I'd be interested in checking them out...
xnerdr | 15 years ago | on: Microsoft to acquire Skype
On a side note, why has no serious competitor to Skype appeared? Given the maturity of the tech involved (its just VOIP) and the size of the pie, i'd have thought there would be more competition for a slice.

Do you have a link to even one of these? I tried looking for these and couldn't find one...

The resources of the world are finite (as is it's energy allowance), so i'm afraid that toilet paper supply is indeed limited. You're about to see this in a very real way as food prices dramatically increase in the following years.

It's a nice quote, but is it necessarily true?
xnerdr | 15 years ago | on: Show HN: Social Minecraft clone with shooting
Thats pretty good!
Add some textures and weapons and you should be good to go.
Good luck!
xnerdr | 15 years ago | on: Congress Bans Some Scientific Collaboration with China, Citing Espionage Risk
Life is cruel. You have one piece of toilet paper. Will you use it for yourself or give to a stranger?
xnerdr | 15 years ago | on: Congress Bans Some Scientific Collaboration with China, Citing Espionage Risk
I don't because I am not chinese and will not share in the wealth of such enterprising behaviour. You can never become a chinese citizen unless you are born there. Never.
xnerdr | 15 years ago | on: Bitcoin iOS app open sourced
For those interested in Bitcoin right now (mostly geeks) i'd say the % of jailbroken iDevices is much higher, i'd throw 80% out as a guess.
