Ask HN: Payment forms for static websites

Ask HN: Why not use CloudFlare authoritative DNS?

Many advocate using Google DNS or OpenDNS instead of your ISP's DNS servers (recursive DNS) because of security and performance.If we apply the same advice to authoritative DNS are there any reasons why using CloudFlare's DNS servers should not be used?Note: For the purpose of this discussion I'm assuming that we are only interested in CloudFlare authoritative DNS and not their SSL services.

Ask HN: Who needs non-technical contributors?

Inspired by the recent post, 'Who needs contributors?' [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12405712] I thought it would be interesting to see if there are any open source projects out there that might be interested in non-technical contributors. It might be a great way to get non-technical people involved with open source and might inspire some to learn code.As per the original post:Looking...

Ask HN: What keeps you from exercising?

We all know that exercise is good for us, yet many of us fail to either start or continue. Why?Like many of you, I sit in front of a computer far too much during my days. I blame my inactivity on everything: not enough time, family obligations, an I'll do it tomorrow attitude, it won't work for me because of my genetics, I don't know what I should do so better not do anything and get injured...
