I think Slashdot had a superior moderation system to HN, but it lacked an iron hand that led it to local equilibrium that was different from different visions and use-cases of the site by different users. HN has a clear vision and set of ru

Blogs are chronological. I decided that I didn't want to be bounded by that and went with pmwiki. In this format things can be chronological, can be topic based, pages can be a work in progress, no default. Markdown editing. Files are

The ToS and Privacy Policies links you posted are nowhere to be seen on the front page, registration page, or indeed any page that is clickable on visiting the link. Where's the about page? Whois just has tucows REDACTED FOR PRIVACY.

On reflecting the writer's use-case, and my own use-cases for enjoying both Linux (Ubuntu, but Gnome3 no Unity) and Windows: I've used Linux for 15 years. It truly was a pain getting things like ADSL modems (wired) connecting. B

It isn't about you providing the answer. It is about you asking questions and later providing options to help them find the answer. And often with this approach they may find a better answer than you were initially thinking. If the se

I think you've already done it. A central bank cannot run a blockchain level of trust that is smaller than they are. And nor can shipping companies, and basically anyone. If you're not sure another party isn't in control of

Interesting idea, but needs more work. Scanning the list of countries: Presenting them alphabetically and vertically, instead of left-to-right, makes much easier scan-ability. Some countries were also out-of-place alphabetically, e.g. Spa
