I highly suggest buying the print version of Feltron's report, as it is inspirational, fascinating, and beautiful.

To be fair, there are two other things at play here. * 1. No app had ever displayed books on a bookshelf in this way until Delicious Monster did. * 2. The designer who designed the bookshelf UI at Delicious Monster was poached by Apple to w

Wil Shipley responded to this very eloquently: "As a creator, part of what I seek is recognition, immortality. I don’t work for Apple or Google (I’ve been offered jobs & buyouts) because I want the fame myself. It’s my shot at immortali

That really sucks. But this isn't on my real blog, it's on my Posterous. I separate them on purpose. Also, this being on Hacker News really irritates me. I don't think it should be here.

Wow, I think you win. This is by far the worst comment I have ever seen on Hacker News.

Wow, this is exactly how not to design. Separating layout and content is a mistake. Content should be inextricably linked to how it is presented. This is what design means; it means taking content and displaying it in an understandable an

I use the Webkit Nightlies at http://webkit.org . Chrome fails at a lot of Webkit standard stuff.

The internet is such a pile of crap. Why all these things can't work perfectly in every browser is just beyond belief. The W3C is worse than the UN. As a remember: All of these work great in Webkit. Some of these things don't work right in

Yeah, while this seems to have some weird geeky appeal, it's still way harder than just pulling out a dollar and handing it to someone.

Interesting thoughts, but you shouldn't editorialize titles. The title of the article in this case, given by the author, is actually more accurate than the one you chose.

Did you really have to be that angry and extremist in your comment? Seriously, that was painful to read. I've used Yelp in NYC countless times. It's not that bad; you just have to filter through the reviews. It's like any social site.

Leptin and ghrelin are the hormones produced in the pancreas and stomach that signal to your brain that you should start or stop eating. Some of the byproducts of fructose metabolism in the liver first cause the production of ghrelin, which

I suggest you do not skip the chemistry. It's fascinating and provides solid evidence to back the stuff he talks about later.

Except that nasty comments are sometimes voted up very highly, which doesn't help anyone.

Hacker News has many moderators.

by dcurtis 17y ago
Most nasty comments seem to go unpunished. If someone says something clearly nasty that doesn't add to the conversation, why don't you personally kill it? Lots of communities have tried to push moderation into the hands of users via flaggin

I don't mean to endorse the ideas. I will be publishing an article arguing the opposite position as well.

Because this is more of a private conversation -- and because you've negatively referenced our previous interaction without context -- I've sent you an email.

What do you mean by insincerity?

I have been trying to resist responding to you. At least ten of your comments in that thread contained petty negative personal attacks as well. You do not know me, yet you have created a very negative image of me in your head after reading

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=924943 It is because of this thread that I probably won't participate in discussions here anymore. The extreme negativity and personal attacks make me feel as though I'm not a welcome voice here. I miss

I agree with a lot of the points in this article. Yes, my original letter to AA was, admittedly, a bit vitriolic. But I don't apologize for that, nor do I regret it. I'm a designer and an entrepreneur. I'm passionate about great user experi

Yeah, this happens on some screens. I spend all day looking at and designing white websites, and I just enjoy playing with dark on my own site. I feel I can take risks with my blog that I can't take elsewhere. Sorry if it bothers you.

Why can't I just pay Comcast money and get a set exact pipe size that I can use? I didn't pay for 16mbits for 15 minutes. This is false advertising.

Why would this be very useful? How often do you store two copies of the same data on one disk? Edit: let me be more clear. When do you have situations where duplicate data is stored on the same disk and the best way to deal with it is throu

Wow, that's a great idea. I'm adding that feature right now.
