I use to mess with rss and agree with Marco on the purpose of them. Then I found a better solution, just subscribe to some of the awesome curated newsletters out there that do all this for you. HN has one - http://hackernewsletter.com and Peter Cooper's tech focused ones (https://cooperpress.com/) keep you in the loop in a particular stack, plus a lot of others that I've seen.

Now I don't have to check anything these days, except my email, which of course I check everyday anyhow!

So you bought it and then returned? Best Buy allows you to do this?

formal dress up days

For me, that would be opposite of a good retention strategy.

I don't see any point on putting FB's stock value on HN everyday.

Ask HN: Reducing my hourly rate?

I do freelance work on the side and recently moved to a small town from mid-sized city. I've had a lot of opportunties to quote out jobs, but I was getting no response back (which in the past was never really a problem).

What will be really cool is to see how the "hide comment scores" effect looks using this (assuming at some point they will be able to collect that). I think the one liner type comments might show a big drop.

I liked the Thank You card idea Kevin talked about and might have to start trying that myself.

Firefox does the same thing though. The only browser that doesn't IMHO is chrome.
