    I hate to interrupt and go against the flow here, but it seems that some main points have not been mentioned. First, the OP is talking about his 'business', no doubt a software and…

    I wrote: > The main criteria for research work are "new, correct, and significant". Do well on all three of these and have NO PROBLEMS getting reviewed and published. So, I said th…

    Comment #3421193

    As I explained in http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3421033 early in the article was that the 'community' had a "serious problem" which was getting published. So I outlined how t…

    Because there is a pattern that would not apply to the relatively random users and needs a very persistent user, that is, a MOD. Because the downvotes happen QUICKLY, as if from a …

    My original post was downvoted within minutes of when I posted it, and there was no reply. This is NOT nearly the first time. There is a pattern, and I'd be a fool not to conclude …

    This is NOT nearly the first time. There is a pattern, and the only reasonable explanation is that one or more HN MODs just do NOT like a lot of my posts and jump to downvote ASAP …

    Problems getting published in CS was a big point early in your article, and that is what I responded to. For more on this point, see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3421033 bel…

    The article had, early on: "I can’t speak for other disciplines, but within computer science, I’ve always felt that these meta discussions were inadequate — in terms of volume, vig…

    "Rant" is an insult. "Far cry" in what sense? The AAAI IAAI conference was about the best could expect from the AAAI. I published in JIS because it has a wider audience than, say, …

    That lament was one of the leading topics in the Google+ community that was the the subject of the article. Yes, the article was mostly about the community and not the issues of th…

    I was attacked, downvoted, for my main comment, and then defended myself. This is NOT nearly the first time for such. Usually the result of the downvote is to send my comment to th…

    Comment #3420854

    The attacks are from downvoting, not upvoting. Only a small fraction of HN users can downvote. With so much downvoting, it has to be the MODs who are doing it. It's so consistent t…

    That's what PG's HN MODs do also, and then they attack, usually without any comments. It's PERSONAL. It's a SCANDAL. There is STILL not a single, meaningful comment in rebuttal to …

    "Credibility"? Look up the Radon-Nikodym theorem. I suggest Neveu, 'Mathematical Foundations of the Calculus of Probability'. "Rant" is an INSULT. The 'rant' was in the article com…

    In short, HN has a chicken shit MOD that routinely attacks my posts but makes no comments. This is PERSONAL and is CRAP. And the situation and the attacks really SUCK, much more th…

    Yup. But in this case I know all too well just what the heck I'm talking about, unfortunately. Hint: I live in Dutchess County, NY and for years worked in Westchester Country, NY. …

    On close examination, you may find that their Research Division is mostly just a patent shop. Likely their 'services' work is mostly just 'help desk'. Likely much of what they are …

    Yup, we both might be correct! I had a 'qualification': "Usually the CEEB, SAT, and GRE", and with that we both can be right! For those tests, at the level of detail of the distrib…
