There may be alternatives that cover Skype functionality at least partly if you have the skills and nerves to use them (based on SIP or jingle). But for most of the 170 million connected users, including those who use Linux, there is no alt

FB's practices are well known and should've served as a warning. You shouldn't rely on this being resolved now . I ain't saying it won't be resolved in a good way, but just don't rely on it. Even if your page is restored, think about alter

You mean that only the browser is software, but not what runs in the browser?

The CA system is broken and browser vendors try to deal with it. Deal with it = trade off between security and (in)convenience.

Please don't get me wrong, but I never understood what "social" bookmarking is useful for. As long as my supposed ignorance persists, I'm sorry to crash the party with a simple question: why is Delicious relevant? Assuming many or most here

TLDR for this HN thread: The problem posed by the mix of technical issues and ethnic prejudices in this "bug report" is apparently more complex than what the HN community can deal with. This is a low point for the quality of discussions on

I agree with the goal in not showing points. I think it works and the benefits outweigh the costs mentioned by others. The quality of comments on HN has increasingly suffered from people behaving like in hives. Let the content of a commen

Why is it relevant?

by codeup 15y ago
This is a clever move. The quality of social news websites with up-/downvoting of comments suffers when people behave like in hives. This has increasingly been the case on HN lately. Let the content of a comment decide if you agree, not t

Even though most may disagree: Am I the only one who doesn't shed any tears over this news? A dedicated browser for social networking like Flock always seemed superfluous to me. The recommendations of the Flock project point at this: use ot

"Yea but so this means they don't want to leave (because of their friends). Or they are not sure yet." Think of it as lock-in.

You're giving your personal reasons to stay on Facebook and I'm sure many people stay on for similar reasons. I think, however, that those who do not use it are well aware of the potential advantages of Facebook. The point is that to them,

It certainly is more difficult to leave Facebook if many of your friends are there to stay. Actually, the social costs of leaving or not joining Facebook can be quite high. This may explain why people hesitate even though they would like to

The author thinks that taking notes on twitter is a cause worth defending. Read this post unless you expect substance: "Twitter is many different things rolled into one. There are so many different useful things you can do with it. I think

Spot on. But this is exactly the kind of article that one would expect to get many negative comments on HN. It's critical of a hyped website and the argument isn't even economic.

Your point that Firefox led site owners away from linking to the feed is an important one which I hadn't considered. I also agree the icon's useful for indicating an existing feed. It's easy not to think about this use, because most of us p

I never found the RSS icon too useful. I think Firefox should keep the ability to parse RSS but most feed readers have an auto-discovery feature and that's usually enough. In sum, the icon is another example of a broken UI for RSS, which is
