there are changes in dealing with "paper". for instance, if a lawyer has to sign a doc then pdf it and send it, the law firm is going to bill the time that the paralegal took to print, scan, and email that document. this stuff takes longe

Good points. Social news (HN, reddit) is a great place to find early adopters, and interact directly with them. I launched http://iDoneThis.com here on HN in January and now we have 5,000 users. A benefit to that was not only finding ea

I'm an idiot. I had this conversation after realizing that I posted the article with a bad subject. me: i sux, i shoulda tailored the HN submission to HN. in fact, that’s what the article is about! Brian: lulz. meta-fail

as visual representation of the signature isn't a requirement as a matter of law. places like docusign, etc., use it because it makes people feel safe and secure, as if they're hand signing paper documents. imagine if the question as to w

you can find links to various people's social media profiles and find pictures there. my friend is trying to get me to couch the site more as a hotornot type site where you meet someone's social media presence and tell them what you think

there's no libel suit without libel. (i challenge you to show me the libel on chattel.me. maybe that's a bad incentive. nevertheless, what i've written holds true in spirit. 1. no one cares about this website and as a result, there's n

true. yet, for all the concern re libel and slander, none has yet to appear on the site. in fact, people just write about how great the other person is. i guess what they say is true: you get more flies with anonymous honey than with ano

the url path is humen, because that's how rails pluralizes human. the class name is "human". this is my first rails app. i didn't bother to change it out of laziness. yeah see above. chattel has a neutral definition and it's just that c

yeah, and in that sense, the use of the word is somewhat "harmless" (although i don't think the name reflects any "harm"; i mean, slavery happened).

i'm reminded of zadie smith's article awhile back about how using facebook means to interface with the mind of mark zuckerberg -- a place where a human becomes a list of likes and a relationship status. a friend of mine has strongly encour

i've done so purposefully, although probably in questionable taste. chattel.me is a play on the word chatter and the notion of persons as products. if people are products, they they deserve corresponding scrutiny and critique. (added stuf

Awesome. Email us to let us know how it goes for you. Unfortunately, there's no way to change the time zone right now. But stick with us, as we're going to fix this in the near future.

Great suggestion, and we've been hearing that from a bunch of folks overseas. We hear you, and we're going to fix this. Unfortunately, the way we process the emails makes this take more work than it should -- but we're going to get this d

Coincidentally, fellow HNers rguzman, peng and I recently built a simple web app which was inspired by this article. It's called http://idonethis.com . We email you on a daily basis asking you what you got done today. We put your email re

i think this is right. (note, i worked at jenner & block, verrilli's firm, but i don't have any inside info.) what you have with verrilli is a lawyer at the top of his profession and who's represented a variety of interests. most lawy
