Show HN: Fast Q&A discussion on every web page
Hi HN

We have developed a chrome extension which lets users ask or answer questions on any webpage.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/anywyse/gfohefaikkfjlddgdigfpjhijljmneik

http://www.anywyse.com

When you are on a website, a number of times you have to open another tab to search about things you found on the website you are currently on. e.g. news/media websites, GitHub repos, online shopping, university course/admissions pages etc. Most people think about similar questions. If a site is visited by millions of users a week, we would have thousands of people genuinely seeking similar information. Anywyse gives you a platform that can help the whole community to share notes quickly in the form of Q&A.

The idea is simple, when you are visiting a web page, click the extension and it will show you questions and answers asked on that very page. You can add a question or add an answer to a previously asked question. Short answers are preferred, currently we have limited answers to 200 words only.

Our inspiration is Reddit and StackOverflow. Both the platforms are great for simply consuming genuine and quality information. We hope Anywyse helps you find information faster. We are just launching so content will build up when users contribute. As we progress we will also have AI generated Q&A.

Appreciate your valuable feedback on the product. Please suggest scenarios where the product could be helpful.

Thanks!

Is Being Successful Really As Hard As It Sounds?
http://www.yosefsolomon.com/2010/09/is-being-successful-really-as-hard-as-it-sounds/
Before I start on why being successful isn’t as hard as everyone thinks, I’d like to clearly define the meaning of success. According to Dictionary.com Success is: the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like. Based on this definition, most of us see success as the preferred outcome when attempting a new idea, project or venture.
Ask HN: Music Teacher's Helper App?
Hi! Could someone please advice, if there are some apps/services to help me as a piano teacher to evaluate my student's home work?

etc.

Thanks in advance!

Will the Recession Kill Web 2.0? Advertorial on Wall Street Journal Says So

Web2.0 companies relied heavily on advertisement as their preferred business model. With enough eyeballs we can convert enough visitors into meaningful revenue. That is turning out to be a wishful thinking. Online traffic is growing but revenue tied to incremental traffic is anything but satisfying.

Foreign Aid: "A complete waste of money that succeeds primarily at keeping Westerners employed." 
http://www.netnomad.com/might.html
A long and interesting interview with a journalist who spent a lot of time working for NGOs in Africa. The conclusion I got out of it was that there's no power that can make Africa better unless the governments finally clean up, and NGOs actually just help prop those governments up. It isn't a matter of investing and building infrastructure either, because the local governments will swoop in and steal the money.

Ask HN: iOS vs. Linux question
I've been using Linux for about 8-9 years, I migrated because of a bug on Google AppEngine that only existed on Windows. As I really liked the experience I migrated all the computers on my company to linux. I always work on the computer on my office through terminal (mount the directory, directly on emacs, or a tunnel to the port of the corporate intranet) But I really need to use SolidWorks and Photoshop, so I have tried a lot of times to use a Windows computer, only to become frustrated by the experience (It just breaks, I start to have a lot of pop ups on startup, a lot of icons on the menu bar, notifications for everything, is a headache), so I'm planning to buy a MacBook Pro, but my question is.

Is there a terminal on the Mac? I understand it's BSD on the base, but I guess I wont have aptitude, so How difficult is to install latex? Go, Python, R, Emacs, OpenOffice, OpenSSH, and Dropbox?

Solution: Gently killing a process
http://tuts.pinehead.tv/2012/09/22/solution-gently-killing-a-process/
Sometimes you somehow can’t quit a certain process, but you don’t want to lose all unsaved data by killing it. You can then try giving it a SIGQUIT. This solution describes how.

Please note that, if a process is not responding at all, chances are that it won’t respond to a SIGQUIT. You can then try giving it a SIGKILL (just use the commands listed below but replace SIGQUIT with SIGKILL). The signal SIGKILL has an even higher priority than SIGTERM, the signal that killall and kill defaultly give to a process.

Several websites later and Alice walks into my life.
