There's a difference between focusing on people and completely abandoning them. One of the reasons many people (myself included) are leaving Twitter in droves is because Twitter has made changes which betray its original community. In

It seems that there is an increasing trend from Bay Area tech companies (maybe tech in general) to bootstrap by taking in users feedback (twitter RT feature), get to a certain size, and then totally abandon their base. To an extent this mak

Will they allow me to pay for my account? The devil in the details on all of these systems is that "free" doesn't actually exist. It's part of what killed Twitter (which is now a shell of its former self), and part of wh

I think that the idea that all languages but English are going to fade away makes sense to people who only speak English. I've lived in Germany for a couple years, and have noticed that when native English speakers come here, the Germa

I sent the HN moderator an email asking when the black bar would be placed. No response. This makes me really, really sad.

I'm on chapter 20 of Lingua Latina. I think it is very well done. I did study latin in school formally for four years, so it's more of a refresher, but it teaches some concepts I hadn't encountered before. That said, it can b

It seems like we go through a round of this every couple of years. First it was Google Plus, then it was Quora, it's been Facebook for a while, and now OKCupid has thrown themselves into the idiocy ring. I've already written and s
