Ask HN: Which great products didn't succeed? 7 years ago
Give feedly another try. I've been using it ever since Reader got killed.
I really miss pipes. Wondering how much we'd have to pay Yahoo for the source code. Think they'd take $100 for it? :)

Ask HN: What is your commute like? 9 years ago
No more Seattle commute for me...
I live on Whidbey Island, in Puget Sound. 0 commute. My office looks out over Admiralty Inlet and the Olympic Mountains.
It's a 20-minute walk into our tiny town center, 4 minutes down to the beach.
I've been mostly telecommuting since 2008.
