I think this is only a way to avoid creating things because we don't focus on collaborative note taking systems. Once people start sharing notes, they will start making friends by discovering the people who care about the same topics a

That doesn't explain why the community didn't step up much much more and brought the development to new heights. What is holding back Java developers from using their Java language to adapt the IDE written in Java that they daily

Would it be an option to embrace that development? Instead of assimilating everybody the Borg way, it would also be possible to tag snarky people and allow each user to choose if their comments should be included. The front page could be an

I still don't understand why Eclipse as an open source project couldn't adapt. Unlike emacs, which is written in elisp, Eclipse is written in Java, the language in which its users are fluent. Why do developers move instead of adap

With a withdrawn self, how can there be a personal failing? My point is that people don't attack her specifically, it's just the way society is. Criticism works for society because people with a self choose which criticism they ac

By that logic we also don't use an alphabet because we have started using symbols like the smiley. Which non-phonemic symbol have they used that couldn't be replaced by a phonemically created word?

In which way are Egyptian hieroglyphs and their hieratic form [1] not an alphabet? There is a huge number of ligatures and some determinatives, but that's an ad-on. You can use the single characters like any other alphabet. E.g. hn: 𓉔

Why do publishers not offer end-users the right to transfer games from one service to another? That would allow new platforms to compete. I can understand that established services like Steam oppose the transfer of licenses. But why don&#x2

The infrastructure problem is funny because this wouldn't be a problem if Google would use GCP by themselves. They should also be smart enough to create an export function for google3.

The social web is no problem. We can choose what we visit like the author's father chose to buy those books. What is missing is a beacon of light in the desert of choice. There is no lack of knowledge anymore but a lack of orientation.

The users punish. You need a trustworthy core by which you can judge the vote of new users. You can incorporate them until somebody complains about a result that is out of place. This doesn't have to fully scale. There are many pages w

If the network is that important, isn't there a startup looming that provides such a network to the many people who are not in one? I tend to think that networks are not excluding on principle. If somebody can demonstrate value, people

This is fun. A minor issue: It would be nice if nodes could be skipped. E.g. initially, the dog is on the tree and can move to the carrot in two steps. It is required to make both steps and drop the dog on the well. I would prefer if I coul

Can something be done that changes the dynamics in the job market? The underlying problem is that companies don't trust the existing available information. E.g. if individuals cannot be judged, could it be easier to hire entire teams?

That's the wrong question. If you sell housing to non-resident people, you receive money to build more housing. The question should be: Why does anybody limit supply of housing to the point that prices rise? The French did a bad job at

Thank you. I am not prepared to continue this outside of hn. How could I reach you later? Regarding the deception: We also decept ourselves. So even if you go silicon, how do you know that that silicon is without flaws?
