Oh, and also, I should say anyone interested can join that "chat" (not that there will be anyone, mind you)... And it's especially slow today - not seen it like this before. Barely possible I'm hitting the extent of my s

We can "chat" in this ibGib: https://www.ibgib.com/as-chat/pic%5E6F40CA17107671491E64DB0B... I've started to respond a little bit to your conclusion of seeing different front pages. Note that the site se

Thanks for the extensive response. There are a couple points I'll break it down (I'm also loquacious on occasion): > One of the central aspects of HN is that humans control it, and they have good taste. I don't think you

You and the other commenter both quoted the same aspect about agreement of the community, so see my other response. > Decentralization in this context would mean different rules for every participant, which is not something that we want

Yes, I instinctively agree with you. But what about sink investments? Also, what about borderline protocol implementation improvements? Death of a thousand papercuts...that kind of thing? Does keeping the algorithm source in the open, whi

Do you believe that a completely in-the-open forum would be manageable? By this, I mean things like: - Everyone gets to see... - who does the up/down votes. - what any moderators' decisions/actions are -

> protocol designers to fine-tune incentives and punishments This is an interesting phrasing of one of the questions I have about the "decentralized" aspect of cryptocurrencies. I get that the context of the term is that it a

"Reworking" identity from the ground up as OP suggests is actually one of the goals that I've been working on with ibGib. No one really cares, but I'm going to describe some of the more interesting (to me) aspects of it,

Yes, this. Although, for a Vimperator replacement because of the breaking FF/Vimperator upgrades, I've found VimFX to be pretty awesome. I had to write some configuration scripts to get d/D to drop tabs like Vimperator, but o

I'm looking forward to more genuine MFA. For my site, I'm experimenting with the ability to identify yourself with as many email address identities as you want (in the future the plan is to add more types including oauth, sms, etc

I must say that this is one of my primary use cases for ibGib. The point is to have a review system (and advertising) that is not superficial but rather the "review" lasts the lifetime of the product. When you buy an appliance, yo

This is what PRs are good for. Also, with my particular approach to commits, I always have at least one issue associated to a commit, and I'm always working on a particular branch associated to the issue. I pick an emoji that captures

I would recommend putting it in a git commit template if you haven't already. This will make it easier to implement the convention IMO.

This is something that ibGib is a great tool for: understanding relationships and "heirarchies", and understanding that a containment relationship is only one way for viewing information. We find it easy to work with, since we&#x2
