Where's Mark Pincus' talk?

Actually Dropbox.com is quite a lucrative property of its own: http://techcrunch.com/2009/10/13/dropbox-acquires-the-domain... и http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=880522

Those are a great asset that can be taken advantage of by the owner. SEO is almost a cake walk. I know of HN user haploid for example who owns and runs ties.com and scarves.com for several years now. They might comment better on this matter than I can.

Thank you, it would not load for me at all. Did you re-format the content like that? If so, what did you use?

Yes, this is what I ended up doing and reading it in my editor.

Interesting idea, I think you need two things though:
1) Better copy. I (and others here I'd imagine) have no idea what exactly your site is. A short blurb that's a couple of sentences long that explains what is helps greatly.
2) Post this as its own post instead of a comment in another post. This way it looks a little spammy (which I understand is not your intention). Make sure you mention how it's built in Arc in your title, and post a story on http://arclanguage.org as well (if you haven't already). Beware that new accounts posting links often get marked as spam, that's why pg recommends you have an account for a few weeks before doing a Show HN post, which would be the type of post you'd do in your case.
Good luck!

Are Github's comment contrast or color adjustable? They are almost completely unreadable for me.

Interesting, this is apparently built off of news.arc
...what is it?

If this is true (and I agree with you somewhat) what are the new MFE graduates from Asia and here in the USA doing with their expensive degrees if they can't find a job as quant?

Yes.

If this could also do pdf and/or mobi, I'd be sold. Nevertheless, I think this just might replace Lucidor for me as my default epub reader.
Add in the ebook-convert feature from Calibre and you will win great fame and glory.

And why the EFF? Can we just have it go to rtm's "buy more ram fund" ?

Absolutly no politics, current mainstream news, or anything that comes near them. No OWS crap that keeps getting submitted. There's a lot of pieces from the Atlantic, Vanity, and other places that are being submitted and upvoted that are essentially political in nature but seem to be viewed in a good light simply because of their publisher. Cut out all that and the biggest problems will go away.
Promote civil discourse and find a solution to all the pedantry. There's lots of threads now where people are arguing for a long time essentially over semantics. It's really bone-headed and doesn't reflect well on HN.
