Additionally, the kind of people you describe, which is probably a majority by now because they just are, are rendering this site more and more useless by voting up on pure crap.
The system behind Hacker News did not prepare to have itself flooded with a larger audience, which frankly belongs to Mashable, ruining the only thing it was doing so well when it was a small community of creative people.
Either accept Hacker News becoming more popular, essentially aggregating "How I survived a genocide on mars, cured cancer and wrote html6 standards in the process - with only 3 fingers" or re-think the upvote system.
Am I the only one experiencing weird ass issues? The editing goes fine, but the produced gif was mixed with another video. Some olympics crowd video of some sort. Very buggy
Wow, this is great! I love it. Hold on, no. I hate this. This reflects what I try so hard not to be - a lazy reader.
Let me explain this reaction: The execution lacks the huge opportunity to make me, and many others, actually read the ToS we often so easily agree to. I realize there's a reference in every bullet, but it's not enough. The interface (linking to Google Groups) is terrible and not encouraging.
This is a start, but I'd argue it should serve for a greater purpose. An educational purpose, considering even us nerds tend not to read ToS. It's a lot to do with the fact we read less in the era of Hacker News (quite surprisingly - and you know I'm right), we want everything summarized. Optimize our time. But that's off topic.
Dude, I could barely read the whole post through. It feels like he just HAD to respond to the rage against his tweet. I suppose he felt his manhood was at stake. He couldn't sound more of a douchebag with this phrasing really. Go on, phrase titles and respond to yourself then.
This is not the quality of posts I usually find on the front page of Hacker News.
