I would call the design aesthetic du jour "the White Wasteland". It's a symptom of what I'd call "fundaminimalism". Minimalism isn't automatically better when it comes to user interface design, but too m

Not all monopolists are equally efficient at managing their monopolies. Especially monopolies that can bail themselves out by forcing people to subsidize their losses.

I do wish we could just pay modest fees for membership in sites like Facebook. But I doubt they'd be willing to try that approach... or that we'd be willing to support it (even for useful services that haven't burned their e

Part of the response is for users to trust the cloud less, but I wish part of the response would be to increasingly hold cloud storage companies accountable such that in the future they can't get away with this kind of abuse without se

This is a pretty pessimistic comment. Cloud storage companies should, can, and have been held accountable for violating their users' privacy, including when they themselves are the violators.

This is a reflection of a poor commenting system. I would prefer for every online commenting system, including HN's, to allow one to see the version history of a comment. As things stand right now, commenting systems are biased in fa

That brings up the question of whether these social media platforms' terms of service are themselves censorious and intolerant to some degree. The first answer to that would be "yes", since otherwise terms of service wouldn&

I wouldn't necessarily "hang" a first-time offender, but I'd definitely be wary, and cautious of how much I'll trust them in the future. Personally, I'm not a fan of making statements that say "I'll

Very idealistic people might not realize this as they start working on their project. I wish it was otherwise, people, but it's usually "build it and they WON'T come" ("they" being the funds needed to make a li

It's one thing to say "there is no warranty" in order to free oneself from the burdens of maintenance and onerous, abusive liability that could arise from the product one is giving to others. It's quite another thing to

I'm reminded of the recent incident where the developer of the NPM "colors" and "faker" libraries put show-stopping bugs in those libraries in order to cry out for people to give him money. Both incidents reinforce

Without really knowing the author, it's hard to know whether they did what they did in bad faith or in good faith. Regardless of whether it's malice or naivete, either one makes it hard to trust such a developer again, at least r

This comment is not about MdSilo itself... but the design style on the linked page looks too much like certain splog-like landing pages I've come across (namely "this domain is for sale" pages.) Since I opened a bunch of Hack

It's unfortunate that you've lost track of the most interesting pages you've come across. Built-in browser bookmarking systems and managers leave much to be desired on the categorization and prioritization side, in my opinio

In this case, companies will need to "negotiate" with each other, by outbidding each other for top (or at least in-demand) talent. That will set the rates, instead of the current system of imperfect information that works mostly

While I greatly appreciate open source, I don't think I can generally "beware a little less" with open source. On the plus side, I can generally be confident that an open-source program will not disappear and become complete
