Thanks for the bug report.

We have an algorithm that looks at a large number of factors (number of reviews, each reviewer's unique denotation system, number of hotels in a destination, sentiment, etc) and calculates the number.

We'll be growing, don't worry. Today is day two. :)

What do you mean?

Yeah, that's so weird! We've heard that from a few people. We're currently looking into it. Neither of us can find any history of the domain being used for anything adult or porn related. So strange.

Our designer was someone that my co-founder had worked with before. And thanks for the tip about price sorting.

We don't list any hotels with a score lower than 60, which means every hotel is a quality hotel.

Thanks for the feedback. We're definitely still working on perfecting the search, so this is helpful.

My co-founder and I actually met at a hackathon a few years ago and worked on an early version of the site. It's very exciting to finally launch!

My co-founder Andrew is a lawyer-turned-developer. I'm a former tech journalist (Laptop Mag, The Verge).

Yup, we've got an API. Shoot me an email at [email protected]!

Meh, just like a Paypal debit card.

If this was the first event after Jobs' death, your point would be more valid.

I second the recommendation for Nathan Barry's book Authority.

Even better than IFTTT for weather is the iOS app Dark Sky. I have it set to give me a push notification whenever it starts raining in my area. THAT'S a useful feature so I remember to grab an umbrella if I don't notice the rain yet.

I get an email if the weather shows it'll rain tomorrow. That's kinda nice. Also, anything I star on Google Reader saves to Instapaper, but that wont' be useful very much longer.

I use my real name for everything.

Did HNPod just fade away? I had forgotten about it and I see there haven't been any episodes in a while.

As a journalist myself, this is extremely depressing (although unsurprising). It's also why I'm working hard to expand my portfolio of skills.

People with magnet implants have had MRIs, though.
