I upvoted your comment, and even after reloading a minute later, it has still not upvoted. At least it's not happening to everyone.

Upvoting submissions works fine; it's only votes for comments that aren't working. I have Greasemonkey disabled at the moment. I don't have NoScript. I do have Adblock, but it's not blocking anything from this domain (news.ycombinator.com),

I don't find camel case interesting in itself, but the evolution and adoption of the technology of written language is intellectually stimulating to me. The article suggests that written language used to be read aloud - it was a recording o

hmmm, perhaps conserving paper was also a reason for running words together, and cheaper paper (e.g. from improved trade routes/technology) enabled the reintroduction of spaces.

Just a side question: I hardly ever delete emails (except for automatic reminders etc), and I always assumed that's the standard thing (I'm using gmail). But ionfish deletes emails, so I'm questioning my assumption. Do you delete emails?

Be the porche. And it's free. I've noticed that porche drivers are mostly older people (presumably because, statistically, they can afford it). To be picky: it also doesn't provide responsiveness (i.e. agility), but in isolation tends to

So Arrington was a lawyer, and a hot shot one at that. That may help explain why he rubs some people the wrong way - speaking as an LLB myself. I love Steve Jobs, but I think this article is disingenuous on a couple of counts. One, these di

In Bob Shaw's book on science fiction writing, he said that when he has told the gist of a story to someone, it releases some of the need to tell the story, and so it's less likely to get written. Therefore, when he's bouncing ideas off som

Maybe responsiveness; quick acceleration; "Road feel"; admiring looks from nubile women; defeated looks from men; knowing that you have more power available than you need; etc.

There was a fantastic post by someone about the many waves of search engines, and how he thought he was too late each time, until finally Google came along and it really is too late ("...or is it?") [It was tremendously inspiring, but can't

Good perspective on different length of life-cycles; some areas repay careful investment; some don't. I've found many of the common wisdoms don't quite apply to what I'm doing (in some ways it's analogous to DB's relational model; it's expe

I upvoted and checked immediately, and you're right: it presents an upvote in the JS interface, but a reload reveals the truth. Not counting reply upvotes does prevent long, mutual karma-generating exchanges, but if it's trying to disguise

Thanks for replying. Your first comment didn't mention that he provided the wrong answers (most of it was about the word "career"). They seem (to me) to be common issues, and he mostly has the right idea. Rather than pick it apart point-by-

An inspiring thought, but was it Starbucks or the wave that did it? (see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=956570 ) I'm not (just) being provocative. I'm not even sure how you'd go about determining what caused the "Starbucks revolution"

I'm irritated by your negativity. :-) He's admitting his mistakes and he's making progress. These are good things. If you don't like it, you can just ignore it, like the rest of the vast internet. Why take special care to put down this bi

That's true, and it implies an interesting algebra of causation. Thanks for both!

Thinking you created the wave is similar to confusing your own efforts with... luck. I've been reviewing the early days of my business, and tremendous luck was involved. Sure, I was there , and did the work, but a big part of it was the wa

Similar story: shaving a 5 second build/run down to 200ms. It took 2-3 days to implement. I couldn't justify it in terms of time saved; nor did it seem I could use the article's justification that I'd tend to avoid compiling because it wa
