Pretty cool, 724 days, no comments, one submission, 3346 karma. Probably not something work trying to avoid in a web based reputation system.
Doesn't it show how useless global karma is? Besides, I never voted someone down, I just ignore or vote up ..

I'll delete it after the weekend to respect PG (after the news-cycle finally breaks).
Two things are very interesting to me here: - This 100% Steve Jobs page was actually organically generated. - Several members of the community took screen/snapshots yesterday when they discovered the frontpage like this. Those things make me realize how like-minded can some of the members in this community be.

And annoying. Did you consider adding a filter to increase diversity?
No. I thought it was good.
Its almost 1 in the afternoon here. So it must be midnight in the US. I also see you replying to posts during the US day time.
If its not too personal, can you share you a brief outline of your schedule. I assume you do not procrastinate, but about the energy and how do you plan your tasks.

Steve was directly or indirectly responsible for a lot of people's lives and livelihoods here. Every mobile developer, everyone running Rails or Django on a Macbook, everyone interested in the aesthetics of product design...that's probably 90% of HN that's been shaped for the better by his life. It's appropriate that we give him a few hours on a homepage as a tribute. We're a virtual community so we can't do a 21-gun…
Having a black stripe and a few hot topics is ok, but what we had yesterday was a bit beyond rationality, imo. Keeping one's mind when someone we love dies is very hard and very important.
He brought computers down to the level of mere mortals (and others copied his vision leading to the explosion of personal computing globally).
No computers --> No internet. You should keep that in mind.
ps. Even the original protocols for the internet were laid down by Tim Berners-Lee on a Steve Jobs-conceived Next computer.

Wow, lost a lot of karma with this. Anyone cares to explain downvotes? Most links about SJ yesterday did not follow HN guidelines about intellectual curiosity, in my understanding, please clarify if I'm wrong.
People are curious when someone like Steve Jobs dies. This is something that will never happen to you when your time comes.

Chances are you would not be posting this rationale online if not for Steve Jobs.
