Thanks - is that new today? Odd: my average is precisely "2". Not "2.00" (as it is for robg, #6 on the leaders). Have you kindly promoted me, or is it just an coincidence (and you're using different formatting)? EDIT my average should hav

11 of the 100 leaders' votes don't count, because <2.0. Something is disconnected, if our best and brightest are comment-vote-banned (could be the leader criteria, I suppose). BTW I seem to be able to vote again now. Thanks pg! kinda n

So you are axod are also in the same boat? But yours are some of the most interesting comments... and your comment averages are not below the 2 cutoff that pg stated above, anyway: axod is 3.65: http://searchyc.com/user/axod?only=comments&

My votes haven't counted for a while, and my comment average is 2.64 according to http://searchyc.com/user/10ren?only=comments&sort=by_poi... I think a respectful approach is to be upfront, and just say there's a cut-off, instead of m

It was just that the submission was leading to a placeholder landingpage instead of a game; so I looked it up on reddit to see if anyone had a mirror. But, now, the submission is leading to the game. Odd.

The article is misdated, as "2007-08-18" The general principle still seems relevant, of relishing obstacles and difficulties because they discourage the competition. Although we don't have "yes/no" filters today, don't influencers have a ro

But they want users (I think). Or do they also buy pure tech startups - the software equivalent to a fabless semiconductor firm (e.g. ARM) - just a patent and a demo?

So, some great users are on your similarity list... but are you on their similarity list?

Wikipedia has links that go nowhere. But it does still sound a bit dodgey, I think because to get accurate feedback, you necessarily need to fool people. For example, if you had a link that stated it was a proposed feature, it would affect

Fantastic points! Request for a bunch more, written up. http://www.sinatrarb.com/ at least does it with one file (but it's not HTML, which I agree is a lower on-ramp). User comments on docs is brilliant. Flash does this, but moderated, wi

Apple has a point with the technical issues it cites. A compiled version of Flash would address them. However, if Apple needed to block it for the "strategic" reasons given in the article, it could find a way. Come to think of it, I reckon

If we write for our peers, and you are a highly qualified academic, then your market is small. But if you just want to get the job done, you have many peers, and your market is enormous. And, at times, every one of us just wants to get the

I wonder how important it is to have people who can apply a technology into something that is useful to people. Many technologies were adopted, such as fire, axe-making, house-building, pottery, perhaps because they were so obviously and im

I've always called this "dual licensing" and I'm very surprised that Stallman is in favour of it. I seem to remember him being against it. The arguments he uses now make sense, though they also made sense in the past.

Orson Scott Card has this idea of "edge" nations and "centre" nations. It's to do with whose culture wins, not to do with whose military wins. Basically, when an "edge" invades a "center" (or vice versa), the result looks like the centre na

A problem we face is that we have new abstractions every 10 years (fueled - or at least facilitated via disruptions - by Moore's Law). So it's hard to master them. If that should change it would become possible for the industry to mature

It's hard to generalize from a single instance, but you may have something there. It is striking that both means of expressing large numbers of ideas - vocabulary and syntax - only occur in us. I would guess that they were driven by the s
