i was just having a similar thought: won't this "flaunting" of karma create more social unrest (defensiveness, ego-grabbing, immature or strategic conversations)? when i first came here i loved seeing my karma grow. it gave me a feeling of

i'd say the line is minimally important. flag might be crucial, though i've never personally had to use it. the link and parent links, as well as time, are convenient. i bet discussion interestingness improves by removing the username and p

edit: i was going to whip out a greasemonkey script to do just that, but then i saw that the comments are just one big table...ug. i was hoping for nested div's. eit.

collapsible comment threads would be very much appreciated.

i'd rather not see any karma or any points when i vote, thereby providing for content-based decisions. ideally, a comment would have three possible votes: up arrow, circle, down arrow. only after voting would a comment's score and user beco

just curious given the recent scrutiny on karma: what goes through your mind when you want to know a user's karma?

i'd love to see graphs/statistics of comment points over time for hn users.

i like when users can customize the results. eg, categories rather than a single popular ranking. there are some technical/performance issues to consider, but in an ideal world, my ranking could be customizable on: * submitter karma or user

in django i separate model components into different files and then mixin in the relevant fields and methods. for example, suppose i define models Blog and Post in blog.py, and Rating and RatingMixin (extends object not base model). I'd giv

learning from mistakes is part of it. experience is also crucial for developing confidence (surety, decisiveness, calmness ?)

i had recess through high school. it was called lunch, but we weren't confined to the lunch room. instead, we'd hang out by the picnic tables outside near some woody trees and then go down to the soccer field to play ultimate frisbee. i kne

this is kind of cute, but not entertaining enough to make the lack of intellectual interestingness worthwhile. execution ok but not stellar: graphics are large and invasive. with a little thought this could have been cute. inject the images

One may still benefit greatly from the experience of posting and commenting rather than observing. I was reading hn a while before I got an account, and never really thought about karma, submission titling or type, or comment voting. I have

he has a great attitude and seems quite balanced. he scored well and decided to aim higher, and then higher and so on. seems like a good natural tendency.

it does seem a little backhanded to have rewritten the app in ruby and then passively alter opinion to use ruby. maybe that's better than aggressively trying to alter opinion? one of the first django teams i was on after college had a guy w

cool. my experience with other cultures--which may or may not be relevant to our exchange--is that humor and expected attitude vary wildly. i live with 8 other people, some for whom english is a second language, and humor is one of those ar

eibrahim, your comments are getting down voted pretty bad. you're probably a nice guy, and i hate seeing so many downvotes because, you know, that can feel bad. i have to admit that i downvoted some of your comments, too. hopefully there wo

It sounds like you have experience here. Do you have more networking advice or information referrals. My startup is based in Boston. We have some MIT and Harvard professors on our board of advisors, but we don't have other connections to ne

What do you like about it? If you paid $250 for something other than getting in touch with investors if not actually securing investment, I'd definitely like to know. Otherwise, it seems that "liking it" is not a useful evaluation of their

also, a nokia phone directly (with SIM card) connected to one's computer can give you a sms gateway with a regular phone number (short codes cost on the order of a few thousand US dollars a year) frontline sms can help a lot, too.
