It's refreshing to see a front page without politics posts.

Ha ha true. Besides those it seems not much else has changed in the type of stuff that tops HN, whether that's a good thing or not is a whole other story I guess

Side note: It seems that since Oct 2011 HN front page has been crawled on a daily basis, and recently multiple times a day - that's a great thing!

I've been here since june of '07 via Justin.tv. Addicted ever since.

Back then I asked for feedback and it made to the front-page. The comments as I recall were helpful, though others were a lesson in thickening ones skin!

Love the Gmail article.

"We can't afford to give away everything for free," Brin said.

Hah, yeah, I saw that one too.

I never knew Gmail considered that.

Good to see Feynman on the front page!

Look at all the single first name usernames on the frontpage. Lots of early adopters right there.

My first day here. (2506 days ago on my profile)

> #6: "Odeo up for sale"

Hard to believe that Twitter has only been around for ~6 years, given how much impact it's had.

I'm sorry, what's "Twitter"?

Ok, the downvotes are deserved, but more to the point, I don't use twitter and after all these years I have not understood what it's for. What do people use it for?

In the stone age a guy wrote a book "Real men don't eat quiche". I think about that book whenever I Tweet. P.S. the only benefit I got from Twitter is it's incorporation throuh a financial, stock site.
