- asadlionpk 8y agosadly pg left some years back.
- kizer 8y ago:( I did not know.
- howeyc 8y agoI have a solution, inflate the size of the first page to correlate with number of active users.
- hokus 8y agoIsolate usergroups by year of registration. i.e. If you sign up in 2018 by default you end up on the 2018 user HN. Then have next to the next button buttons to go to the next/previous year. That way old people can finally talk about the zx spectrum, the commodore 64 and IBM mainframes without disrupting the more interesting hipster conversations.
- ssambros 8y agoIf I am not willing to spend time on karma earning posts and comments, can I please have at least 10 karma delivered to my account weekly to compensate for the inflation?
- hokus 8y agoAusterity! Of course! That we can all just live here for free has to be the main flaw of the system. Few here earn their keep. Yes, I'm looking at you HN reader! Lets set up a stock exchange for articles and with a stock exchange I mean a gambling platform. Have all the fun mechanics like hedging, shorting, double or nothing etc That said we the association of comment manufacturers deserve better marketing and higher margins. Something for nothing is a terrible idea. Our time isn't free. Lets make opening a page cost micro points per comment posted and introduce cheap mega-downvotes.
