News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

bind

Wouldn't it be better strategy to be as public as possible with this? To start a competitive situation where prospective acquirers would want to get to the tech first before their competitors?

Like Oculus did and got bought by FB.

this seems like an annoyance, not a time-for-a-new-database kind of problem.

Could it be picked apart by a robot?

Can I email you? I'm working on interesting software that does something like this and it'd be great if you could try it.
The creativity link demonstrated in the article isn't to substance abuse. It's to sadness.

I doubt you'll notice this but blacklisting new users like me -- so that my comments are always shown at the bottom of a thread and never publicly -- has the opposite effect of what you're intending. It pushes good people away.

Good people won't keep creating new hackernews accounts to figure out which combination of HN activity won't blacklist them. They'll leave. Possibly taking HN's users with them when they create the next HN.

Does "don't add your 2 cents" [1] contradict what you said?

I wonder if feeling better with feedback has the side effect of not shipping something world-changing in the long run.
