I wish Stripe would come to Denmark.
I'm based in Malmo. The scene here isn't as big as in the Valley, but I look at that as an advantage, because it's easier to get traction locally and then expand.

I just learned from the post you need 500 karma. I'm only 2 away!
Couldn't resist. Happy 500. :-)
Edit: Maybe it takes more than 500, or some time. I don't have down arrows yet.

Absolutely, if you care about those numbers. I think my average karma is pretty low, but that's not why I'm here.
Well, no, right now average score is meaningless. But if having a higher average score means that you have a stronger voice, as OP suggested, then people will start to care about those numbers. I assume the goal is to encourage high-quality discussions (including extended discussions/back-and-forth), in which case average comment score will work against that.

It matters in high performance Python.
Just sort the comments randomly, as long as their karma is >=0, and place the negative-karma comments at the bottom. Done. :P This algorithmic craze is too clever for its own good. It is particularly evident in the false-positive bans. (And I swear, it's scary how HN joke comments are indistinguishable from the real ones.)

Ha ha! Thanks! I have exactly 500 now. Maybe I should change my handle to icandownvote. Edit: Maybe it takes more than 500, or some time. I don't have down arrows yet.
Note that you can't vote on comments over 24 hours old or replies to yourself, so don't use those to check your ability.

I'm not sure how much you're kidding, but locally perturbing the comments might help a lot. Similar to simulated annealing.
Locally perturbing and simulated annealing sound interesting. Maybe we could convince pg to reticulate the splines as well.

I want to laugh, but the grammarian in me is cringing too much. If you don't understand the cause of my cringing, please read the Their/They're/There section of http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling EDIT: saraid216's response was funny, without being cringe inducing
