Feature-wise, the new version offers about 3 times as many "oldschool" fonts as the previous version, and also introduces the use of several techniques not typically used elsewhere to make the fonts more palettable for modern use (aspect correction, embedded bitmaps to bypass anti-aliasing). Also the online font index has more details regarding each font.

I would say that a very detailed online font index and fonts that are now much more palettable for modern use, may well be grounds for new discussions.

Btw, thanks for doing the hard and important work of moderating hn! [Edit: I realize now that the last part may come off as sarcastic, so I want to emphasize it is sincere. While here I disagree with the action, I'm generally very thankful for the moderators' work.]

HIBP is indeed great and you can actually subscribe via email to get real time alerts. It's limited to credentials exposed via dumps.

That being said, there's no getting around education. It's key to prevent a person from being scammed out of their passwords or oauth-access in the first place.

On the one hand, there's nothing wrong with "splitting" HN, especially by geography. The main reason being that news that would interest only hackers in a specific region/country wouldn't see the light of HN's front page, as global readers just wouldn't care as much. As a matter of fact, I even run an "HN splinter" myself, for Israelis (https://bitorama.com), and I'm pretty hopeful about it.

That said, the EU is a pretty big and diverse place. Would a guy from Romania or Finland be more likely to find stories that interest him in an EU-wide site rather than in HN? I'm not convinced. Maybe a more regional approach is required.

Then again, I could be proven wrong. So best of luck to the guys running the site!

1. It's all on the disk. So, while its throughput is excellent (thousands or more requests per second), each individual request has a latency of ~10ms

2. You define your indexes beforehand (called 'views' in couch terminology), and then you can only make simple queries on them - like by a specific key or by a range of keys. It takes some learning.

If you and your app are ok with both, go for Couch.

Marketing, I'd say. It's a very buzz-y term.

The change went smoothly with nginx, though I'm not certain this data point is relevant to HN.

You shouldn't really worry about the Reddit comparison, as there are many more potential users in the world than there are redditors. On top of that, you are free to pivot as you like, while Reddit's users won't let it change.

I've written my own HN copy for Hebrew-speaking Hackers (http://bitorama.com), and I'd be very interested to read how things go for you. Best of luck!

Note that he doesn't say that every typical goal could be satisfied by a lifestyle business (goals such as changing the world in a matter of years, or making loads of money).

My rationale was similiar to the OP's: most Israeli techies have no problem reading English, but when it comes to posting comments or writing blogs, lots would prefer Hebrew. Still, there are differences between the two sites: a site in Spanish has lots more potential HNers, but on the other hand, a site in Heberw has the benefit of supplying Israeli-specific news.

While my site hasn't yet taken off, I'm certainly encouraged by similar efforts that do succeed. So kudos to the OP, and good luck!

OP: care to share some info about the tech behind the scenes?

Ideas and paticipation are welcome! My contact details are at the website.

a Hacker News-like site in Hebrew. Did this as a learning excercise and it's yet to pick up steam. Israeli HNers, where are you?
