You make some really good points. Thanks for your thoughts.

The HN crowd always suggests technical aspects they want out of online communities. No one cares about that crap. Instead, what about online communities that: don't incentivize sha…

I no longer know how to view these concerns. The only mechanism I now know of that creates money in modern economies in order to purchase goods and services directly, without obtai…

So further increasing tax burden on American citizens by allowing unlawful migration, when they already bring in 1 million plus lawfully and have been for the last decade, is moral…

I can appreciate the effort expended on compiling such a great wealth of information, but the execution needs work. This site would essentially label all RPG games as dark games, a…

I'm glad someone else understands this. Every time I read about the Electoral College on HN or reddit, it reads as if Americans don't know about their own country's history, nor do…

If I remember correctly though, the fault was in them not following the reference layout for a particular circuit diagram.

> None of the people working on this spec are idiots There are a lot of very smart people in the world that lose sight of simple concepts and their value, however.

At what percentile in the net worth distribution?

None of them. I'm not sure what your experience has been like on the World Wide Web, but for me, immediately preceding social networks were just forums, and the best Internet commu…

I have the privilege of doing this, and have professional contacts utilize such an address. For the layman, this would take considerable effort.

Correct.

Thank you for sharing this. This is one of the types of issues that I’m afraid of: the insulation Google has from its users. I don’t believe I could simply call a legal representat…

My concern is primarily that I already have this email address attached to a plethora of services, many of which I've even forgotten. I parted with an older email address many year…

Hi, HN. The older I get, the more frightened I am of losing access to my GMail account. My trust in Google to do the right thing has diminished over time. In the event Google decid…

I appreciate your first hand experience, but it's not at all what the actual demographics of Audi, BMW, or Mercedes-Benz are. "Actual luxury vehicle owners" are just the mass afflu…

It certainly sounds like they need to do more. I wasn't aware of these loopholes. Thanks for pointing that out.

As much as I appreciate some historical commentary on the matter, none of this is revolutionary thought, and the concept is widely understood by the most common everyman. There's n…

Since Valve stopped producing games, I wonder what their net income per employee is based on assets they own less revenue produced by third-parties through Steam. If you look at ju…

So let me ask, why make this comment? Why reply like this? To shut people's concerns down? There's no value here. There's nothing to be gained. Conversely, sometimes it's OK just t…
