Heh, it took me a while to realize this discussion started in 2004. Knowing the year added a lot of context to the discussion. I'm sure if it was done in the present, it would be an entirely different conversation.

I like this a lot. But I wish it had some physics added to it. Maybe that will be my fork.

Maybe this is another part of the problem. Limiting ourselves to port 80 limits the types of services we can create. But on the other hand, if we really wanted to run a service, then we would just open up the port. But yes, NAT does compli

Yes, all valid points. And yes, particularly as a transport protocol it would, like other protocols lead to decentralized services. But perhaps I should clarify a bit and say that, HTML and the web browser have led the Internet into a place

And there's also IRC as an example of a decentralized service that is still alive.

Tentd seems to be based on Ruby and Rack. Since it's based on Rack, I'm assuming then that it operates over HTTP. Which leads me to my current frustration... Why does everything have to be built on top of HTTP? Sure, I know you're going to

Funny... As I was playing with this, somebody changed the order of: "In philosophy and sociology..." On the Agency (philosophy) page. This changed the output of the results, but in the end the loop still existed. However, I couldn't help bu

Hmm... I'm somewhat bothered by how the word hacker is used in the article, where it's used to describe criminal activities. Or am I misinterpreting it? I know in one part he uses the term 'cracker,' and in another part he says that perhaps

One thing about Facebook ads, instead of buying clicks to webpages, you could buy likes to your Facebook page. This way you can at least look at the FID of the Like to get some confirmation that the Like you bought was from a real person.

I wish their post was a bit more technical. Show us the code you used to detect javascript, how did the analytics work? Did they test their code by using their own browser to click an ad and see if the code detected javascript, or their hit

Here's a question, is it possible to put a Hacker News upvote button on your blog post? Or is that against the HN rules, or something that's frowned upon in the community?

Didn't Instagram have a team of less than 10 people? (or close to that number) I'm not entirely sure what their market share was, but I believe they were growing pretty quickly prior to being purchased by Facebook.

Did you report this issue to CrowdSurge? If you tell them, then they'll probably come up with a solution, and in the process you would be helping a startup.

When it comes to iMessage, I wish people would turn read receipts on. The default is off, so most people don't bother turning it on, which almost makes the feature useless.

I question whether this site it worth $480,000 cash, and here's why: 1. How much of the site is tied into the 37 Signals brand, and is the reason people pay to be listed on the site because of it's affiliation with 37 Signals and the Ruby o

So if 37 Signals is more popular than you, what value there in paying $480,000 for a site whose customers may not be interested in it after 37 Signals leaves?
