For anyone who was, like me, confused by who "we" is and why I was supposed to know that, this is from the author's "About" page:
>My main occupations are being owner/operator of ww.com, which pioneered streaming webcam technology, and working as a consultant to do technical due diligence.
Reading the article, at first I assumed he was someone who worked on an early browser or something, then maybe a hardware webcam manufacturer. I assume that he's just not used to people showing up at his blog with no context about who he is, so there you go.
- oskarth 12y agoIt's jacquesm (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jacquesm https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jacquesm), a regular and top contributor here (https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders). I think most regulars on HN recognize his blog and are somewhat familiar with what he has done. It would be nice to have a short explanation in the article though :)
- jacquesm 12y agoI've added a link to the ww.com/camarades.com story, that should clear up any confusion. Thank you for the feedback.
- mjn 12y agoI put together a set of capsule bios of the top 20 HN contributors, which might be useful background info: http://www.kmjn.org/notes/hacker_news_posters.html http://www.kmjn.org/notes/hacker_news_posters.html
- goatforce5 12y agoNice work! It would be useful to have their HN names as part of their bios.
- mjn 12y agoI was a bit undecided about that, though I'm leaning towards adding them now. There was a small discussion about that when I first submitted this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6957005 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6957005
