Cheers but I didn't make this. That said, I actually agree with creators. The initial member behaviour will set the tone for the rest of the community. If they can use HN to give seed members an idea of the intent, they can build momentum.

I think it takes the same skill to discover cases with potential for class action suits as it does to discover and flesh out great ideas. Think I should start networking with these kind of lawyers and use their skill to develop my ideas.

The day I have to pay for ANYTHING personal is the day I quit Facebook. Charge corporate customers all you want but if I ever pay as a user, I'm out. Make current free features paid? I'm out. Roll out new features and charge for them? Tha

I don't think it will be possible to pick a name from a list. The name has to resonate with you guys, it has to have the passion that you have - a soul..aka a story that you can get behind. Hmm..why don't you go back(metaphorically) to Hold

I'd say software architecture is closer to engineering than programming (aka coding). But ya...not too much difference given the complexity of the SDKs these days.

Make the smilies clickable. Unless you expect your users to make an in-between choice (in that case, making the smilies clickable will go against what you want)

It's word of mouth morphed into shove down your throat. But I actually find it very helpful. Now anytime my friends likes a page, the pages most recent post (or something) gets displayed in my newsfeed. I've used this to my own benefit mult

No, you aren't but one step at a time! Although, wouldn't Facebook better serve that purpose assuming FB is as popular there as it is here?

Meanwhile, mobile-phone operators have been giving free access to sites such as Wikipedia to entice customers. This is great!

Hahahaha...this is why I love the Canadian legal system! Courts here go back to the founding principle behind a law and not just conclusion resulting from rules of the game. Go Canada.

Give me an example of how you would do it while still maintaing the tone with a person you've only met once and want something from.

If person A is in debt from Agency X, am I right in thinking that OWS would have to buy the debt from Agency X? They can't really buy debt from person A since A is in the hole... Or OWS would buy from person A and, by some weird tax provisi

I love that you discarded all solutions that didn't meet your criteria. It's the only way to make great things.

Need-driven one-off purchases; especially in the context of the lifestyle desired here.

What? They had already met once. Given the context, it sounds like a continuation of the conversation, casual in nature, from a biz person to an engineer.

Might've been what it was a couple of years ago but this post, dated today, is the perfect advertisement for the author's current business. Well done! PS: no sarcasm intended, it truly is an excellent advert.

Well, they make a valid point in that a word carries with it implicit attributes that should also be taken into account. It's what really separates bad writing from very bad writing. Then again, it's also a perspective thing.
