I meant the 'switch between what you want and what you don't want'. It's creative.

A US user costs Vimeo 'x' amount of dollars in terms of bandwidth and Vimeo makes 'y' dollars off that user, where x < y. In developing countries, x > y for 2 reasons - they're eating up more bandwidth ('x' goes up) and are much har

Totally agree. Would add just one thing though - properly established and enforced guidelines on what exactly constitutes 'aggregation'. So people don't go crazy with ripping off entire articles, images, ideas etc.

Can you elaborate a bit?

in some topic I think is generally applicable to their lives. No offense, but you have absolutely no business deciding what's applicable to someone else's life. Just because it's interesting to you doesn't mean it has to be for others.

Bully ? Intimidator ? Great. Sarah Lacy's heir apparent for nonsensical exaggeration is here.

Is it me or were there quite a few instances of "Someone else by the name X came up with the exact same theory at the exact same time, but they called it Y"?

'baseline intelligent labor' , 'the quality of people who are part of the network is very low' Some mighty elitist assumptions there. Don't assume anything. Do the actual work of checking it out for yourself. You could be surprised.

Or we could just go back to hacker news. And stop sweating what other people would think about us reading it.

Somebody get this guy a medal! Lol. Maybe they can make the original post a sticky so people won't keep asking the same thing? Is that even possible on HN?

by knightinblue 18y ago
I understand. I thought people were leaving them under the impression that everyone could see them.

by knightinblue 18y ago
So maybe they should make that field visible to everyone?

Oh wow, I had no idea. I thought it was visible to everyone. Fixed it. Thanks :)

If I was a pbay lawyer and I knew this info, I wouldn't release it right away. This way, if the judgment is for my clients, great! If not, I can then release it, claim bias, and get a new trial. If I released it right away and replaced the

Hey gopalakrishnan, if I wanted to contact you, how would I go about doing that?

One could imagine ev williams thinking the same thing. Look at twitter now. You never know. After all this work, just get it out there. If you're worried about your name, then leave it out. Just use your initials for now.

I kinda agree with you partly but, just playing devil's advocate here, one could make the exact opposite argument in that just because you'd like to keep it serious doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way.

Agreed. I see no reason to downvote that comment so strongly. People really need to lighten up.

Humor is great, except for when it gets upvoted more than actually constructive comments. For that, I go to reddit. When I feel even more impish, I hit digg. Basically, there's a place for humor and there's a place for constructive dialog

I don't think Matt is suggesting that anyone can become successful with the tools available today. People like John Gruber, Jason Kottke etc are the kind of people who will succeed regardless of how things are. It's just that it's a lot e

Of course. If it seems like a huge waste of time to you, then is must be the same for everyone else as well. First, Sanborn didn't create a random encoding. He worked with a renowned CIA cryptologist to come up with this, so there's a rhyme

A word of caution for those who make their profiles public. Most people simply append their gmail handle for these profiles. For example, JohnSmith@gmail.com would use the profile www.google.com/profiles/johnsmith. It becomes incredibly eas
