This incident provides a good lesson for anyone here on HN. Mentioning a future action, communication, or practice that could be perceived as negative in your TOS isn't enough. Sure, it is done all the time by many organizations. That doesn

Great work! I agree that importing a current site/design would be a killer feature. But, forcing to host is a non-starter...and would probably cause more issues for your company as well.

Wise move. I did the same and ended up with the love of my life who shares the same values that I possess. Social pressures will continue to push people towards things that aren't good for them. The ability to cast these aside when they don

I never used the word malicious. I used the word "behavior". Behavior encapsulates incompetence, poor design, maliciousnesses, etc. I don't presume to know what was the behind the implementation...I just don't think it should be tolerated.

What was your thought process behind placing the titles at the bottom of the images rather than the top when you scroll through listings? It was an interesting choice and I wondered if you have any specific reasons for it.

Great work on the app. It is not only useful...but a joy to use. The small design touches make all the difference.

I actually thought about mentioning that article. I think it is important to point out that someone who outlines a theory as broad as disruptive innovation is not always the best person to apply it in every situation. I think he made a mist

I'm not sure how you made my comment about growth as a species equate to "American Standards". Also, its very "closed-minded" of you to believe that the actions of a country exactly mirrors the values of each of its citizens. Oh well, I wis
