I think you are making a big deal out of nothing. There is no social pressure to actually follow them on twitter, no one will be offended if you totally ignore the sentence on the page. Where as in your example it is socially awkward to ref

You really see it as double standard? Let me try to explain the reaction you are not understanding, on a scale of closed=0 and 100=totally open people perceive that Apple is around 20 and Google is around 60. (numbers may vary but the point

Oh good idea! (see my other reply), unfortunately 3.5 years seems to still be disallowed, that's why the submitter had to add '?' to the url.

Yes I can see the value of reposting older submission, I think my main discomfort is having to add random characters to the urls in order to fool the dup detector so that people can post an old article again. If the community agrees there

I am really hesitating to mention this but maybe the discussion could help find a solution. The submitter clearly pasted the correct URL and got a link to the original submission (1311 days ago) but went ahead and added "?" to the end of th

That sounds interesting! I can't think of any types of things to check for to predict a user is about to churn! Care to give more examples? The closest I could think of that might work is a neural network that would be fed data for people w
