Does anybody use Tor for everything ? I'd be interested in hearing their experience if so. There are sites that I have been unable to get working in tor, usually due to the browser. Some services actively block it. There's als

I feel like the overall system should be clearer. For instance it's not clear how the developers get credits or whether developer accounts are somehow authenticated as representing a genuine entity. In the opening statement of the site

This ended up to be much more about the author than about "making games". Obviously nothing wrong with that but it wasn't where I thought it was going. I think there are plenty of artists that make money. I think there are

First and last are only ambiguous if we make the order ambiguous though. There's no reason for the order to be ambiguous, and if it is then obviously we can't use first/last. I don't think that first/last are eith

Honestly "Elo" is commonly used to denote most Elo-like systems. I don't think it's confusing here. Also, it's "Elo" not "ELO".

I don't like this idea. If hacker news comments were so numerous that the best comments by the "best" commenters always got lost in the maelstrom then there could be some sense to it. However, this has not been my experienc
