good find

This was back in the 90s, when Microsoft had their own JVM and own version of java called j++

what's your data for said accelerating losses?

Although that this is true for now, it wont be for long as I've initiated the transfer to name.com 3-4 days ago.

Maybe a simple weighted vote (relative to how new is the member/karma) would solve the problem. Or at least the mean from random sample from older members and another sample from newer ones, and use variance to check if there is significant difference, and maybe register another sample from members who are voting through the like button (but haven't already gone to the article from HN). A simple comparison of IP timestamps would help doing that.

(these are just suggestions I have no idea how the current algorithm works)

As long as there are points, and comments are sorted by popularity, not showing the points, I don't see how it can mitigate the problem of people trying to game the system.

If it is somehow measurable who is trying to do so, in obvious way, in some automated way and if this activity is at a level that affects the rest, then the user could be somehow penalized off that karma gained. Nevertheless this is democracy, so I would only expect this behaviour being penalized only if it really affects other in some measurable way, so that the community could approve penalizing users who are trying to advantage of lack of automated moderation.

The contrary could be done i.e. instead of penalizing users who are suspectable in such behaviour, preferably award recursively to each comment in the same thread more points, therefore the commenters who are 'legit' are awarded. Therefore, add a category of comment points named 'HN ponts' which are awarded automatically by the system.

I found an explanation of Arc's name from a 1993 essay. Didn't know until now:

When you download .crx rename it to .zip and open it.

They seem to forgot Jaiku

Yes, I thought I shouldn't interfere with the normal behaviour, when the page is viewed normally.

You are right, probably I will increase the timer.

I haven't changed yet the reply functionality, only "add comment".

are you aware of the practises of that script?

I do take a provision to delay 1200msec the request to the Newest page.

thanks

This is weird to me too, because I dont request permission for the history. I will look it up.

Thanks! I wondered how much it would change HN, just by adding a few features. Then it felt really useful, and I decided to release it.

Thanks for trying it. I was going to put it on GitHub later. I will announce the link later.

I agree. But, the vaqueness is what elivates it to mean status. It contributed zero to the understanding of his claims, therefore leaving the negative energy stand out.

Also, that type of comment you refer to, gets usually downvoted on HN.

Just because someone is used to a condition, that doesn't make it the standard. I really can't imagine someone saying that to someone who would have asked for feedback.

If you are getting downvoted continuesly, why don't you take it as a sign you are indeed say something wrong?

from your comments:

"I found the UI unappealing and the heavy use of rotation effects amateurish."

edit: that is mean, although because it was about Microsoft/Windows Phone 7 as a whole, there is almost zero direct effect on the people who worked on it, and therefore may reduce it's meaness factor by 0.001%, but amateurish and unnapealing? come on, that reveals negative energy.

this looks quite helpful, works on Chrome, but not on IE9 when I used the published url

well, Steve Balmber isn't the one who will actually build the competitive device, and judging from demo videos I'd say Windows Phone 7 as an OS, looks liike a serious competitor for people to build applications for.

great

looks interesting. how do you deal with numbers that may charge you money?

I don't have time to read that huge article. Question for those who did: If video is counted as video delivered from the web excluding video delivered from torrents because that would count as P2P, then 51% + 23%= 74%

So, if you told me text is not the king medium it would be more real than web is dead. But that wouldn't make it a title for retweeting, or would it?

*edit: a quick search on the content of the article for the word video has only 1 result.

The last time I said a business man is not always an entrepreneur I got downvoted to the abyss.

So you consider an entrepreneur the same thing as a business person? They are two totally different things.
