It would be neat if HN could offer something like "Login By Facebook" that returned user/create date/karma. Would make a nice testbed for offering free stuff while having some high pass filter like "HN account > 3 months old and has > 500 karma."
This is kind of gatekeepy coming from an account that's not 10 years old yet. :-P

How do you feel about the Stack Overflow solution to this problem? My app has 300 features. Beginners get to use 8 of them. Once ten people think you are not a wretched toad, you get to use 20.

I'm not one, but there's no signal I can provide that I'm not one. Metafilter has the model where you spend money as a signal that you're not one. I guess I'd pay $20 one-time as an upgrade that is revocable. I am a Wik…
