   I don't converse on FB. It doesn't seem that people are looking for conversation there. Aside from serving as an address book, I haven't really found any value in FB. Conversations on HN can vary, but are generally pretty good.

   I was using XP until my Lenovo died this weekend. I pulled Vista off of it pretty quick. I suppose I'll be moving on to 7 now. :)

   I just think this point tends to be overlooked when talking about "social" websites, almost like it was not polite to point out where these businesses make their money. Absolutely. That's the dishonest part about this conversation. G+ and

   I'm a fan of G+. However, I wrote a post about this about three months ago ( http://hubski.com/pub?id=2069 ), and I still feel the same way. IMHO, this is not only going to change the nature of Google, but in the end, it will change their d

    It's not too far off. On Hubski, the content you see is based on who you follow (people and/or tags). Importantly, you don't just get the posts of the people you follow, but the posts they share with you. (you might be interested in followi

    It would be interesting if for new laws, there were some sort of judicial opinion that could state to their best of their ability what the purpose of the law was. i.e. Some legislators write a law, then pass it to a panel of judges, the jud

    This is one way. :) And I'm not being cynical. You should take these kinds of opportunities. Of course, you need to strike a balance, but I think pitdesi did that pretty well. You've got to hustle. Taking my own advice... One of the things

    I think it's funny that this is so high on the front page, yet there are no comments yet. Seems everyone is hoping to find the magic bullet. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a one-size-fits all solution. You might cover a college campu

    Usually, I wouldn't put much stake in a statement like that. But for you sir, I make an exception. Best of luck, and congratulations.

    >Money should be invested or taxed. Agreed. But there is what should be done, and what is done. I don't think this is anyway admirable, or of any benefit to society, (it's basically taking wealth harvested within a system out of that sy

    Why not just have one extremely low tax regime? They can still keep their cash where they like, but without the effort of evading taxation. Also, why do they need to live at this place? If they had visa treaties, this citizenship could be e

    Hey! Just want to say thanks for the advice last round: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2649787 ( http://hubski.com is my site) I took your words to heart, cut out some functional fluff, simplified terminology, and focused on hubski'

    I never really 'got it'. Having to frame discussions in the form of a question seemed limiting, and a bit of a barrier. It's useful as a Q&A, but I don't see it as a social network. Quora does seem better than Yahoo Answers though.
