1) Understandable; and I'm learning through feedback from the comments :) Let's see if I understand you. The response will be whatever you specify it to be. @cmercier said "@jaysern hi !!!" to me http://twitter.com/cmercier/status/13104066

1. Nope, no infinite loops; it will not re-respond to something already responded to. 2. True and yes, there's some NLP user-friendliness baked in. It's case-insensitive, not whitespace sensitive, and it knows that "it's" == "it is". Give i

Good to know, because I kind of thought that it'd be useful for people who do exactly just that (customer service via Twitter), so this is some validation for me :) To answer to your question: * It will scan the tweets of people you are fol

For my understanding, what part of my comment made you more confused? I'm kinda wondering if I should remove the "power user" thing from the main page now.

1) Acknowledged .. design sucks right now 2) No humans involved, other than yours truly alone. You, the user, set what you want it to respond TO and what it will respond WITH. Yes, it's automated ;) 3) Interesting feedback. I actually have

On a related note, for folks using PuTTY.exe on Windoze to SSH, if you sometimes accidentally hit CTRL-S and "lock up" the session, hit CTRL-Q to recover. Apparently CTRL+S actually does XOFF, which means the terminal will accept key strok

My comment was not scientific, but it served to counter-balance the lack of hypothesis from the other comments at the time, where basically nobody read more into it and the consensus was "oh well, shit happens". Sure, it's from my personal

I know HN is largely male and single, so here's my hindsight advice that I'd give myself if I had to do it again (I'm married and went through some #@$%): The girl that ran off with the other co-founder? Just by reading that blog post and n

interesting, never heard of that one before - thanks for sharing. And I agree, that a root cause analysis should be done. E.g. asking the 5 why's (as Eric Ries advocates), for behind every technical problem, there's a human problem.

I've been "burned" by exactly what pg just said, on Reddit too. And I agree, because with the labor laws, the employer has more to lose than the employee if they aired certain things. For our non-US people, in California, there are laws tha

2 weeks is courtesy, and standard. In California, it's "at will" employment .. meaning, the employee can quit with or without notice, but the employee can also fire, with or without notice. That said, there's a lot of labor laws to comply w

I agree with your first statement, which is one of the things the Black Swan theory is about (love the book, def. recommend reading it): that you don't know what you don't know. To that I would say, one should be very very very paranoid a
