For some reason this article rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's because I feel like the author is using a link bait title to "teach me" something that already seems pretty obvious. The whole question answer setup is annoying. The title sug

The company is offering the coupon, not the waitress/waiter. It'd be like every time the company you work for offers a discount to a customer, you see money taken out of your hourly wage or salary. Personally that would make me livid. I a

Another idea would be to switch from the positive incentives of karma, to a harsher negative incentive system. So if your karma is good, it is always 0. If you make bad comments and get down voted, it begins to go negative. You can reach

Of all the suggestions I've read, I think I like this one the most. But I think it is barely missing what the main problem is. Here is my twist on your idea, please tell me what you think. Why do we want comment scores? Because we want to

Maybe we just need to change the patent system itself. I believe people game the patent system by trying to be as general as possible when creating patents. I believe this stifles progress, I believe stifling progress is wrong, I believe st

I agree. There are too many road blocks for mobile apps to replace web apps. Until you can solve the data input problem on mobile devices, and massive content delivery limitations by screen size, web apps will still rule. When it comes to g

I like the idea. Do I have to wait for questions? Have you considered adding the ability for me to start adding scripts to be purchased?

I like it a lot. I am working on something similar, but you definitely have a better distribution plan than I have. Good luck to ya!

I could see it going a couple of different ways. 1) It actually has improved comment rankings. 2) or I am just experiencing a placebo affect. - 1: If it actually fixed the problem, this would mean that quality comments will appear higher o

My experience is that I upvote less now. Which means I'm more selective about what I upvote. I am no longer affected by the polling of the community. If this is a common change in other's voting patterns, you might see a shrinking of mid

I read that slightly differently. I read that as meaning there is a greater disparity between the high voted comments and the low comments. I don't see it addressing the quantity of highly voted comments vs quantity of lower voted comments.

No, what he is saying is that the system that worked for a small community of like minded individuals does not work for a large diverse community. The upvote system used to work because it consisted of a lot of similar people saying, this i

I definitely agree, having upvotes visible fostered a herd mentality. What I really like is there is less of a knee jerk reaction to assigning value to a post. You can assume it's value based upon placement, but in order to determine it's

Looks are definitely a "part" of the user experience, but not "the user" experience. If you don't believe that font selection, color, white space, layout, and image selection palys a significant role in communicating information clearly an

One explanation could be that your users are highly technical when compared to the average pc user. I would bet the ground google lost went to new pc buyers that are happy using default apps/settings. These kinds of people probably wouldn'

The best programmers I know are self taught. This is because they have a passion and hunger to learn and improve. This is what it takes to be a good programmer. I've met many people that have a CS degree because they simply didn't know w

I don't understand how jokes (while funny) and snide comments get upvoted more than relevant information. I upvoted your whois post. Thanks for saving me whois time.

I think he means that when a company switches from ignoring competitors to acknowledging them by ridiculing them, then they are not as far ahead as they used to be. So it does imply losing steam in this case. Phases: 1) Ignore 2) Ridicule

Good luck! Please post your results when done. Edit: Also, some of the things I checked did not apply to me 100%. I am assuming this is because while they are different in my eyes, they are equivalent in the test giver's eyes. Remember you
