A couple of months ago, I realized I was wasting too much time on Reddit. So I quit cold turkey and created a website that would email me top stories from Reddit every morning. After testing it on some of my friends for a month, it is now ready for the world. If you like discovering interesting stuff on the internet without losing much time, check out Redditletter and sign up if you like! :)

Someone on twitter complained about getting too many 'I want to add your birthday' app invitations. So I made an app that allows you to yell at them. The question is, do you have the balls to do it?
As a CS grad, I'm approached on a daily basis by friends/referrals of friends to talk about their 'idea'. Most often, the idea sucks or isn't well thought out or isn't interesting to me. I was wondering how others in the HN community deal with situations like these? What's a good way to tell someone 'no' without hurting their feelings?
As far as opinions not changing goes, isn't it safe to say that the biography's media coverage has already contributed to that?
