Or just copy 4chan's system directly, since that's what you're iterating towards, and they've already solved this problem.

Why is important to encourage new users to comment? That, too, seems to be solving a problem that doesn't exist.

No it's not. I regret wasting my time reading this article. If it had a better title, I wouldn't have bothered.

Voters also don't make laws directly, exactly for this reason.

That's overly generous. Gates didn't just have an evil image for a while, he was evil for a while. It happens to the best of us.

Flounder around on the brink of bankruptcy until finding runaway success in a totally unrelated market?

It doesn't matter how convincing it is or isn't as long as you are just choosing to pretend you believe it.

A problem easily avoided by simply not being poor.

And when enough people believe it, it stops being a lie.

That's a poor comparison. Users expect 4chan to lose that same data as part of normal operation anyways, so you can hardly consider it a problem. That's not the case for HN.

So what? Even if it doesn't matter to them, it can still matter to you. Making yourself a better person isn't less worthwhile because someone else tells you you're being taken advantage of in the process.

Those are also the ones that are actually sincere. If you insist on assuming the worst about others all the time, it's your loss.

That's not why they are dangerous, it's why they aren't. You could just as easily say that rich people, or charismatic people, or exceptionally intelligent people are dangerous, and it would be just as wrong (or just as corre

It may not be a good system for long term repeated application, but for an organization that has a lot of incompetent members that need culling like US public education, it could help a lot.

It wouldn't be the dumbest thing a kid ever criticised his parents for. Pretty close, though.

You don't get ahead in the milk business by selling your cows.

Yep. When peoples' actions effortlessly cross national boundaries. laws that don't cross national boundaries quickly become irrelevant. First e-feudalism, then who knows what?

Not likely. We're software developers, not soulware developers.

Or admit that there's no single axis we can use to measure intelligence. The computers will have virtually unlimited memory space that they can access perfectly and huge processing power but will have no idea how to perform basic actio

Because that would be consistent with how those minds "learn" everything else they "know".

Who cares? Prevention is more efficient than remediation anyways.

And many have been used for good. The technology itself doesn't have any will of it's own. People just use it. And people do both good and evil.

Why do you believe it would be any different from robbing the same people who make the deliveries today?

Not much different from the kid shooting the FedEx guy.

Like every union ever. When performance is not measurable, all you have to go on is seniority.
