HN seriously needs more "social" engagement. There should be an always on, all user "chat" beside every page. This will allow the finer co-ordination of reactions to WrongThink and deviancy. When "VR" comes around again, the chat can be made into a 3d avatar environment. There needs to be cryptocurrency integration. Make "karma" a coin. People will fear down votes more when the cost is real. Could help fund the site too: sell the opportunity to repeatedly down vote thing you don't like. The lack of "AI" is shocking: there should be a pre-trained model for every user already. Engagement will go up if we remove the friction of the intimidating blank "reply" box; by having it already filled in with the model's suggestions for your comment on a article. Maybe a strict "real names" policy, too. anonymity encourages independence, playful hypothetical arguments, and Nikki Halley doesn't like it. If we wanna keep the blind nature we could replace usernames with social security numbers. Opaque enough to ignore if you want, but still encouraging Responsible Commenting. After all of these changes, HN should be ready to become the only possible destination for discussion on the net; dominating all other media. At that point, it will be possible to fire dang, and begin the "monetization" phase of the plan. (edit: screaming sarcasm throughout)
