I decided not to renew vyrle.com a few days ago. It may be available on godaddy if you like it.

Re:Ask HN: Where do you find survey respondents? on Saturday September 18, 2010 @04:05PM (#1704848)
Interesting. How strictly can you filter the respondents using Mechanical Turk? And is it only by demographics, or also by interests and other criteria?

Reverse Craigslist - Allow a user to enter an anonymous Craigslist email address (that they had previously replied to) and their city, and then return the post that contained the email.

The reason being: When looking for something on Craigslist, I often send similar emails to several potential sellers. But then, when they reply, I have no way of knowing which posting was theirs (and the link to it). (Of course, you could contain the link to the posting you're referring to in each email, but that's a hassle that I'm sure most forget to do.)

Re:AwesomenessReminders now has 750 paying subscribers on Friday September 10, 2010 @02:00AM (#1678030)
@AwesomeReminders: You might consider offering AwesomeTextMessageReminders at a reduced rate. Either custom text, given by your customers, or something like: "Hi John. Someone who knows you told me you were awesome. Have an awesome day."
Re:Ask HN: What can kill Facebook? on Saturday August 14, 2010 @03:23PM (#1603853)
Facebook is Facebook's greatest threat. Consider Myspace: it was largely because they let their product deteriorate that users switched to Facebook.

Did he code Branchr, too? Or hire others to do it for him?

Re:Ask HN: Which vitamin supplements do you take? on Saturday May 22, 2010 @05:08PM (#1371057)
Lyle McDonald has a comprehensive two-part post on supplements (specifically for athletes, but applicable to all) on his blog, Body Recomposition. Here's part 1: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/supplements-par.... And part 2: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/supplements-par.... Lyle's a good bro.

Martin Berkhan, of Lean Gains, has also written on supplements, though geared more for bodybuilders. Here's the link: http://leangains.blogspot.com/2010/01/supplements-you-might-.... Both "gurus" are legit.

A crude solution: Google "site:news.ycombinator.com QUERY-STRING".

Re:Ask HN: What do you think of this project? on Thursday April 29, 2010 @11:56PM (#1307158)
Maybe decrease the number of goals. 101 is a lot - both to accomplish and even just to think about and write down.
Learn to surf. Or snowboard. You won't master either, of course. But standings up on your first wave or learning to link turns on the snow is exhilarating, and the first step towards getting better.

And so it begins.
Re:Ask HN: Toolset to write an e-book on Wednesday April 07, 2010 @01:21PM (#1247831)
So, regardless of what you use to create the ebook, where can/should you publish it once it's done? I know you can post it, say, on your blog to download, but what else would you do. (Submit to Amazon, or iBooks, or more?)
Re:Ask HN: What to do after college? Master's degree? on Thursday April 01, 2010 @03:18PM (#1235178)
So has it helped you get a decent job? What do you do for a living?

Also, you mentioned that some upper division undergrad CS courses can transfer to the Master's program for credit. Does this mean if I look into, say, Stanford's program and take as many of the courses as I can as an undergrad, then I'll be able to transfer those over (assuming I go to Stanford for graduate school)?
