If you've been around the internet for more than 3 months, you'll realize that this is nothing more than a compliment to the designer.

The net is collaborative. And using a popular, common layout is a way to de-risk an important part of your business, the customer facing part. Also, the more familiar a page is to the user, the better. Both pages are very common, popular grid layout that are clean and relatively easy to create, using any number of libraries.

If Dieter Rams can take what apple did as a complement, so you everyone else.

This is actually been posted by the founder of Politify. He's impersonating me, Patrick Riley. Grow up, dude. Impersonation in the state of California is illegal.

First of all, this account isn't me. Second, you're not allowed to post my name like this. Patrick are you losing your mind?

It's kind of odd that you would randomly happen upon this thread otherwise. And within 40 minutes of Patrick's post?

Agreed. What's odd is how the Politify founder (who applied to YC as WellFrankly) posted the same posting and image at exactly the same time as the fake account that he used my name for (which he is now denying.)

This is the same Politify guy who posted fake images on Reddit, and upvoted it using fake accounts. Sigh.

Patrick, I encourage you to look up the terms non sequitur and ad hominem. Good thing you didn't go to law school because you're not very good at making sense. I'd like you to remove my name from your posts.

Because Patrick just emailed it to me along with some nonsense threat. Patrick is a really hot tempered animal these days.

This is your fake noob account, sharing your same image that you posted from your "wellfrankly" HN account. Please stop adding unnecessary noise to HN. Thank you.

No it isn't. Please stop making baseless accusations.
