I think it's amusing that as of this writing nearly all the other comments on this post are somewhat snarky and dismissive of the problems the author mentioned. Personally I thought several of them were quite compelling, especially the authentication one.
Perhaps HN is an aquarium full of fishes, so to speak.
- jdbernard 11y agoYes, a lot of them are compelling. The problem, from my point of view, is that these aren't blind spots, especially authentication. Lots of people and companies have tried, lots of people and companies are still trying. I was hoping to gain insight into problems I didn't already know about when I clicked the link. This article is not really adding value. It's just complaining. That's not a particularly useful thing to hear.
