I don't know about common sense.
- biohacker42 18y agoI think that government doesn't work, merit is often overridden by connections, too much greed is pointless, in time we're (almost) all forgotten are all common sense things to say. What's odd is that he would use Linux as a metaphor, who but a hacker would get that?
- fallentimes 18y agoI think you'd be surprised. What many people on HN consider common sense (e.g. Open ID, use complete sentences, use simple design for consumer sites) is not common sense to the general public (e.g. MOM, USE GMAIL INSTEAD OF HOTMAIL - CHRIST).
- neilc 18y agoOpenID is a steaming pile, and I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with Hotmail -- I use Gmail personally, but if you're not a heavy email user, Hotmail is perfectly adequate (and integrates better with the rest of the MSN web properties).

- tertius 18y agoOh the spam. "Why do I get spam?" "I didn't tell anyone to send me these emails about genitalia." Gmail is not for moms I think.
