On: When is a ‘travel hack’ unethical?

[commaander]

Of course it's ethical...It's unethical by airlines trying to trick the user, in my opinion

You might want to try resubmitting without doing that -

    Can I ask people to upvote my submission?

    No. Users should vote for a story because it's 
    intellectually interesting, not because someone is 
    promoting it.

    When the software detects a voting ring, it penalizes the 
    post. Accounts that vote like this eventually get their 
    votes ignored.

Thank you...I will definitely to that

On: Travel website finds up to 50% cheaper prices on flights than the regular price

So the flight search here is called tripdelta. They say that they split up alliances and can so achieve those savings.

On: How to get to the frontpage of HN?

[commaander]

Do you think that karma plays a role?

[damian2000 → commaander]

No, I'm pretty sure karma doesn't matter. If the content is really good, original & never posted before then it usually gets some sort of bump upwards. Whether it can make it to the front though isn't certain.

[commaander]

Ok, I get it. What about 500 startups?

But you're right Being in Boston or Boulder can be quite different.

Thanks dexxter, seems to be the only way I guess. Was kinda hoping to discover a secret ;)

Unfortunately, there are no silver bullets. You have to pedal hard. dexxter's comments are a great place to start.

The big secret is to build an email list :)
