A friend of mine started VC-backed company when his 3 kids were 2-4 years of age. That was several years ago and since then the company has grown to 400+ employees, millions of paying customers and went public with the market cap of over 500 mil. Call it an "old-school" start-up if you will.
His HowTo is nannies. That freed up lots of time without making him feel like he was neglecting or taking away from his children.
YMMV however, because many people simply do not accept the very idea of letting strangers care for children of a very young age (them being the formative years of the personality and for other reasons).
As of two-three years ago Slashdot moderation guaranteed that "In Soviet Russia" jokes were always +5 Funny, anything with Linux in it were +5 Interesting and a post with a Beowulf cluster plug was both Funny and Informative.
Meta-moderation was supposed to cure that, but it didn't make much difference. So, no, overall it did not work. Submissions were good, but discussions sucked.
> Why can't I respond to a comment that responded to me ?
Current answer is wrong. Commenting is disabled for old threads. For new, overly active threads only in-thread commenting is disabled, but clicking on the 'link' link still gives an access to the response form.
I wonder what implications this could have for PKI systems. Forcing OS vendors to include trusted FBI CA certificate to enable forging SSL certificates on the fly would seem like a logical thing to do... if it's not being done already.
Actual user review I once received - "Even though I could not start your program on my Windows 98, I still give it 4 out of 5 stars, because it looks awesome" (on screenshots).
Yep, needing to use Twitter account for login is a major minus. Maybe I am too old-fashioned, but if I click on Sign-In and it automatically logs me in, this is more of "WTF has just happened and where did it get my login credentials?" rather than "Ohhh, very cooooool, dude. Just saved 5 seconds and not needed to press 20 (twenty!!) keys. Awesome.".
You would if you were a drama queen of tech blogging who didn't get invited to the press conference.
