Re:Toxic fumes seep into the air you breathe on planes

I've heard people say they feel different when they fly on 787s. I wonder if this is why.
On another note, I'm more concerned with the toxic gases coming out of people sitting next to me.

I read this article and skimmed the original and I'm still not sure what the exact details of this exchange are. No robo/quant investing? Minimum hold periods? No requirements for quarterly earnings? No penny stocks?

I worked for Dara before. Believe it or not, he is a sincere and honest person. Yes, he cares about the bottom line (as any CEO would) but he believes what he's saying here.

Wallstreet has rules. They're just not enforced. People would be shocked if they knew, for instance, how many hedge funds simply operate on a model of "black edge" insider trading.

throwww.com might be a good alternative. No curation by editors. Recommended articles to come based on algorithms and not circle jerks. Full disclosure: I built it.

Hey, I'm the creator of Throwww. Sorry this is totally my bad. It's a result of a known bug, but recently I took my MBP to Applecare and they accidentally wiped my entire drive (long story). So before I can fix it, there's a bunch of dev environment stuff I need to setup. Sorry again.
TLDR: my bad.

From what I can tell, it went from above the fold on the first page to nowhere to be found on the first five pages (haven't checked beyond that) almost instantaneously. How does that happen?

For those interested, I built http://throwww.com which is a free (and with an obvious bias) better alternative.
Re:Stop Sharing Quotes. You're Not Better Than Anyone.

Interesting. That doesn't surprise me at all. The most ironic ones I find are the ones about happiness and humility. Something about sharing them on facebook strikes me as so counter to the point.
I also made http://throwww.com a while back. It started as something similar to this but evolved into a simple blogging platform as people wanted more feature...
And http://throwww.com
(a project by me)

Were you inspired by http://throwww.com for the name?
Show HN: An Update to Throwww
When I launched http://throwww.com a while ago, people on HN/Twitter were telling me it's like Branch. I didn't know what Branch exactly was then, and now that I see it, I still don't get what it is. It doesn't seem at all like throwww though. Nice looking interface, anyway.
Re:Show HN: a blog search engine
on Friday January 11, 2013 @03:14PM (#5044714)
Nice. Though, I agree with others that an explanation would kind of be helpful. Also since you're going with the minimalist approach, maybe make everything a bit bigger?
Are you just searching within a subset of domains? If so, may I shamelessly recommend adding http://throwww.com to the list?

As a shameless self promotion, for those who can't make it into svbtle and want a nicely designed (IMO) and simple blog, try http://throwww.com

Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback. Based on what I've been hearing lately, I wrote a small article about throwww's direction. http://throwww.com/a/45r
Comment if you want anything you don't see. Not promising it'll get built, but it might be something I haven't considered.
Thanks again.

Hey benrhughes, thanks for feedback. I put together this update on where throwww is going. I think you'll like the direction :)

Agreed. Throwww was never originally supposed to have image support, but it seems pretty needed now. I'll add to to-do
Re:Distraction free writing and the simplest blogging platform in one

Awesome, thanks. Will definitely add code support in coming days/weeks.

avolcano, your comment makes me so happy. Nothing wrong with other blog platforms. I wont bash them. I'm just building throwww as something that I hope has value for people.
