Sure - want to do pennstudyspaces.com? Based o krug, I think fewer, longer revews will be more useful. Happy to guinea-pig, though.

Looks cool, Dan! Reminds me of http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=376956 from a while back. I also think utest.com does usability testing. If you haven't yet, check out don't make me think - the way Krug explains usability tests is prett

BrowserID is a good first step, but ultimately as a website owner I'd much rather authenticate with Twitter/Facebook, since it makes it easier for me to figure out who the user is/ask them to share with friends. Identity is cool, but Facebo

TL;DR - agreed, I expect the government will eventually force Facebook to open up and support a common federated social networking standard. As spullara explains below, Facebook's monopoly has come because Facebook Connect is an all-round b

Hey, That's a fair question. I wrote the open letter and sent it to RMS in addition to publishing it; given that RMS doesn't frequent HN, it seemed insincere to do otherwise. I did not ask for explicit permission to publish his one-line re

Link to original article added (albeit not silently). Fair point, though the oversight came more from negligence than malice (I figured only the HN crowd that had seen the original article would be interested). Anyways, the whole 'speaking

I definitely hadn't expected as much feedback and discussion as the post got; thanks, everybody! In case you're curious, I got an email back from RMS: http://alexeymk.com/dear-dr-stallman-the-aftermath

Agreed, the point isn't straight-forward. Stallman's argument was against software-as-a-service and in favor of doing computing locally. If we were using a decentralized twitter alternative like identi.ca or status.net, then all of the IP/

The link to the video of the lecture was in the first sentence of the letter. Apologies if this was unclear.

I'm not sure whether it would work in general, but at a university hackathon, making the event a way to 'prove yourself to recruiters' helped us get a good turn-out. We didn't collect resumes during the hackathon (and in general, we didn't

I feel like Joel really misses blogging. Good writing is just kind of pouring out of him, spilling here and there.

Seems to be lacking a good amount of data, but a reasonable first draft. Why not make this a public-editable Google Spreadsheet (or the equivalent)?
