Nice find, great article on Newsdiffs, In the Times.
Danielle's new blog strategy now makes a lot more sense! :)
Re:The making of Medium.com on Thursday May 30, 2013 @09:36PM (#5796368)
I wonder what the reasoning was behind branding the author in the URL path as opposed to as a subdomain. It seems like a very strange approach to take from guys who have done the latter before.

If nothing else it sure makes posts from Medium very annoying on HN because I can't actually tell which blogger's post I'm going to read until I click the link (primarily read on iPad so no hovering).

Re:Chrome’s requestAutocomplete() on Thursday May 16, 2013 @01:34PM (#5719804)
I love the idea of being able to autofill a form on page load using the browsers own history! Also, I'm highly impressed if indeed this is being added to chrome based on something Alex asked for.
This looks like it could be the thing that tips me over into buying RubyMotion. Well done guys.
Well done, nice way to respond quickly with a possible solution to the "falling" new post issue.
Re:How to hack a marathon if you aren't a runner [2011] on Wednesday May 08, 2013 @02:42PM (#5676033)
The comments on this post are pretty interesting to read, there is such a divide between those who think this is a terrible story and those who are inspired by it. Quite fascinating.
Re:Dropbox Hires Guido Van Rossum on Friday December 07, 2012 @05:44PM (#4889639)
I'm not sure how I can see Guido having the effect at Dropbox that he had at Google. Dropbox's engineering difficulties, while large, are not near that of Google's. Is this more of a Matz being hired by Heroku scenario, in name only sort of thing.

Ask HN: Are .io domain names a fad?

There are a large number of new companies that are using .io domain names. I understand that a large part of this is due to good availability of english words, but wonder if it is a fad similar to the days of .ly domains. Do we eventually end up back at convoluted .com domain names until the next "cool" TLD?

I'm not at all clear on why this is at the top on HN. This triviality is more appropriate for other forums.

This is the first time I've seen Zenbox, it looks really useful but I couldn't find any pricing information.
