I asked NFL+ for the ability to hide scores, since I have evolved to avoiding the news, and then watching selected games as though they were live, and it was there the next week.

Yeah I was amazed last Olympics how my local provider spoiled the result of literally every clip in their streaming service. Surely most people want to watch without knowing the result?

There's a range of reasons why sharing ideas help foster a positive culture of creativity so if you don't already have a time and place to do so I strongly suggest brainstorming, 10xing, or whichever other method makes this process easy on groups of individuals. It's a lot of fun and we get a lot out of it. - you never know who might be interested in your idea - putting your ideas out there helps you to get feedback…

On the rare occasion I make an effort to contribute my thoughts in a positive way I get downvoted but nobdy even mentions why.

Is it that obvious? Maybe someone else can tell me? I'd like to understand if it can help me improve my online etiquette or the HN rules better.

Is the red button a momentary mute? Also, volume and tone or dual volume? Beautiful guitar. Only change I would make is remove the Floyd bridge for a fixed bridge.

Yep it's a kill-switch. Here's Buckethead using one (a killswitch not the evh guitar) while playing Jordan, a song Guitar Hero 2 players might remember

Looks like you've since been upvoted, but try not to read too much into stuff like this. HN is usually decent on upvoted/downvotes, but honestly sometimes your comment just gets read first by that one random person who doesn't like it, or touches on something that a couple people disagree with. All you can do is move on. As long as you try to keep your commentary constructive, the stray randomly downvotes comment won't affect you much in the long run.

I have often thought it would be great to have an idea marketplace, where someone could put up an idea and their 'cost' for giving it to someone ("just give me a lifetime subscription to its use and you can have all the profit").

There would undoubtedly be hundreds of issues to be thrashed out, but it could conceivably do a lot of good as well.

“proof that publishing your wild ideas still matters”

I’m curious if it was ever confirmed that the published idea was consequential. That would be the part of the story I’m really interested in details of.

Your first three paragraphs are a précis of the article so at a glance your post seems pointless. I suspect that prompted the down votes. Maybe skip the fluff.

I didn't downvote but summarizing the article in your second paragraph felt like a chore to read after having read the article, and I did initially skip the rest of the comment (which is good) because of that.

Seems like putting up an idea is giving it away, so the cost part would be redundant.
