Yeah, traffic sucks. But there's no traffic where I live.
racerrick··on I Hate Google's Self Driving Cars
I hate horses! I don't ride them.
racerrick··on I Hate Google's Self Driving Cars
You're probably right.

But I still hate them!

racerrick··on How my comment on TechCrunch got me a Facebook Cease and Desist
Good advice.
racerrick··on How my comment on TechCrunch got me a Facebook Cease and Desist
That's exactly what I thought, too. And that's when I got the "you sound guilty" from their lawyer.
racerrick··on How my comment on TechCrunch got me a Facebook Cease and Desist
Thanks! Good advice.
racerrick··on How my comment on TechCrunch got me a Facebook Cease and Desist
The letter states that I need to stop the service and shut down the site, both of which I have no control over!
racerrick··on How my comment on TechCrunch got me a Facebook Cease and Desist
Just to be clear, I didnt make the thing!

I hope that these lawyers come to their senses.

racerrick··on How my comment on TechCrunch got me a Facebook Cease and Desist
Agreed. Thank you. However spending money on a lawyer for this is painful.
racerrick··on Ask HN: Webapps you can't live without?
I still use Tadalist (37 Signals app) instead of Basecamp.

And we use http://feed.us instead of a CMS on every project.

racerrick··on I want to pay for TextMate 2
It's like taxes... you can always pay more if you want to!
racerrick··on Airbnb Nightmare: No End In Sight
Is it possible that she made the story up?
racerrick··on Brightcove Launches App Cloud, Open Standards Based App Platform
yeah, just what we need... another app platform.
racerrick··on Formatting your web content to be a pleasure to read
That was a pleasure to read. Very refreshing.
racerrick··on From 0 to 100k users in 72 hours: the full story behind Breakup Notifier
Great story. Thanks for taking the time to write up the story.
racerrick··on Show HN: My collection of web-apps that I'm finally comfortable in sharing
I really like these. Thank you for sharing.
racerrick··on Ask HN: what do you use for hep documentation in your web app?
That was supposed to say "hardcode". Thank you autofill.
racerrick··on Do you read HackerNews all day and never actually do anything?
Underwear. Never get out of bed.

Just me and Hacker News.

Big picture of Paul Graham on the wall.

racerrick··on Gmail: Trap my contacts now (warning when exporting contacts to Facebook)
It's a big "F U" to Facebook because they don't reciprocate.
racerrick··on Tell HN: I mixed Yelp with Craigslist and got this.
You should add a twitterbot too and get specials from local businesses that use Twitter.
racerrick··on The End Of The CrunchPad
Techchrunch is an excellent bargaining tool.
racerrick··on I'm in Adwords Hell
I could not find a phone number for them in my account. There are different levels of Adwords with different levels of support.
racerrick··on I'm in Adwords Hell
How is it a scam? If you're going to visit Tortola - there's basically no information about how to get there anywhere. I list the top places to stay, eat, and beaches. I list all of the ferry services between there and st thomas.

It's better than registering domains with names of big companies - now that's a scam.

racerrick··on I'm in Adwords Hell
It would take alot of people but it would also increase revenues.

Adwords is not an intuitive service.

racerrick··on I'm in Adwords Hell
Solid point. I'll look it up.
racerrick··on I'm in Adwords Hell
I'm actually a little fearful that worse will happen to me (from Google) after posting this on my blog and on HN.
racerrick··on I'm in Adwords Hell
Adsense provides an additional revenue stream for me.

Hotel bookings, ads for resorts and adsense.

It's actually a decent amount of money from a network of sites.

racerrick··on I'm in Adwords Hell
Good replies guys, thanks for the points.

Click farms for the sake of click farms are one thing... but it shouldn't matter if you provide decent content.

racerrick··on Nickb missing?
New Mogul is great. Hope this gets resolved.

It's hosted at Godaddy. The domain is current. And it's not that he didn't pay a hosting bill - when that happens at Godaddy they make the site forward to a godaddy page.

That means that someone manually took the site down.

racerrick··on Ask HN: what unwanted domain names are you sitting on?
Or use www.twitter.com/domaintrade. I'll set up a "bot" for it.
