You've missed your own point. By NOTHING, I meant that it "has absolutely no connection to how much respect [he] give[s] readers, and how much [he] think[s] about [his] responses." He just might not be so hot on English, it doesn't mean he

I agree with all of your points, except one - when I'm doing something of leisure, i.e. commenting on hacker news, I actually don't think about my grammar or spelling and nor will I begin to. As far as I'm concerned, people pulling people u

Not that I do, but what if I said I had learning difficulties? Or never went to school. Your saying I'm not allowed to contribute?

> You'd have better success if you showed some respect for your readers by capitalizing and writing your posts in a normal style. Starting off with "lol" and an emoticon marks you as somebody who hasn't thought about what he is about to

Look at it at a higher level. Convore, to a certain extent is like Wave.

by geoffw8 16y ago
Your saying you don't see ANY likeness to Google Wave? I'll give you a hint: the front-end user layer.

My routine isn't sit down shut up (Did you just assume that?) I just think you said something that didn't need to be said. The second piece, "how he came off in the story" is almost my exact point: I don't really see how your opinion on how

Some people on HN are dicks sometimes. You weren't asked to judge him, I don't even think he wanted your sympathy. Read and enjoy, take what you need to take from it, and leave the rest. One of my key takeaways was that he's since come a lo

Yeah, I agree. To be honest, I'm not sure I agree with what they've done. I have no proof, or evidence of anything, just a gut feel. That moment could have irreversibly changed each one of their lives - possibly for the worse. Its all of ou

I think Mike's right. I LOVE using pad and paper for sketches, mindmaps, flows, tables. There really is a satisfaction of 'scribbling', which for me, includes the actual feel or pencil touching paper.

Errr, thats incredible.

Honestly guys, you HAVE to watch this.

Can't answer all your questions, but as a brit thats been on the brink of applying, I know that all applications go through a system called Ucas ( http://www.ucas.ac.uk/ ). I'm not sure if what we call 'Oxbridge', the big 2 (Oxford & Ca

"With tech founders, on the other hand, you have to earn every ounce of trust and work hard for every single email" I disagree, as a startuper who doesn't find it so easy to find good quality, relevant content - I'm happy to sign up to some

Yeah - this would annoy me, but I would class myself as a "power user". I just want to get in, give you my email, password, confirm password and be done. However, as @aeden mentions, what I think doesn't matter if it converts better!

If you don't know enough about a subject, you shouldn't write about it. Or at least do some research. P.s. looks like you could have put your point in a tweet :)

by geoffw8 16y ago
Errr. I don't really see how your point is relevant. I guess you thought I meant "I didn't want change", or that "there's no point in trying because it will never happen". What I actually said, and perhaps I should have been clearer was: th

I wouldn't pay a single penny. Purely and simply because I can't be bothered to set up another payment method. I didn't do it on my Blackberry, nor my Nexus for this precise reason.

As much as I would love for OpenGovernment to succeed. You guys have got NO chance, your just standard average Joes. You could be the President's son and it still wouldn't make a difference. There are so many layers of corruption, collusion

Ahh I see. Makes sense, very clever. HN should have the same sort of thing that Techmeme has. Clever stuff, that.

Whoah, the whole of newest is this guy. Moreso, what on earth is web-citation? Apart from a tad annoying!

No problem. Apologies for not being clearer, its the culmination of way too many late nights and early starts.

I'm not of any opinion on quality of software, I just know the software is only one link of the chain that makes enterprise software enterprise software. The other elements I mentioned make up the "safety blanket". I suppose in fewer words

Politics. The customers. Everything outside of product. Support packages, compatibility, can it be hosted on their own servers, does it integrate with Sharepoint etc etc etc. Edit: Having just scanned PG's article, I think where he says: "
