HN is a crap shoot and we're not going to organize an upvote ring. So yes, it's necessary.

Re:Boosted Boards Review – One month in San Francisco on Friday June 13, 2014 @05:56PM (#7891049)
A Loaded deck alone would cost that much. Yeah it is pretty expensive. But factoring in parking costs, taxi costs, muni costs, time, etc it's definitely worth it. I think about it as a transportation vehicle, so it's more in the league of a scooter, motorcycle, nice road bike. Perhaps the price will come down with time, but as of now I think demand is well exceeding supply.
looks like https://ribbon.co/hany but for bitcoin.

Just moved our team to slack as well. Has definitely been a better experience.

Designers have been using animations to signal affordances in buttons and actionable elements. Drop shadows are still effective in doing this. Every design trend has been a reaction to the previous one. As interaction designers, we should always be thinking about the end user.

Re:When I first heard the name "Safari" on Thursday December 20, 2012 @03:31AM (#4946780)
Not sure of the actual origin, but it seems to me that Safari is a reference to "journey", and works with the OS X naming after big cats. Then again it could just make sense in hindsight.

very nice interaction, great work - I also agree with keeping the indicator, it's a nice touch.
Re:Microsoft gets a new logo for the first time since 1987 on Thursday August 23, 2012 @01:22PM (#4423638)
I prefer the windows 8 logo much more: http://www.fastcodesign.com/multisite_files/codesign/imageca...

The unsolicited redesign "slate" logo is cool too: http://www.minimallyminimal.com/2012/7/3/the-next-microsoft....

Well that's interesting... I redesigned the Exec splash page as well.

I like your color scheme and how you focused on convincing prospective customers that Exec is a trusted and vetted service.

Beating a dead horse here, but Craigslist was able to acquire a critical mass of users by being first to market. If you actually examine the overall user experience from a functional UX perspective, Craigslist isn't actually that bad.

Yes I can attest to the ease of OSQA/Bitnami. It's what I used to create http://chicagofounders.com. Thanks for including OSQA on Bitnami, as it was a relatively simple deployment!
