Agreed, it's not meant to be a universal replacement for standard web development, but as useful option where appropriate. Thanks for your kind words.

For what it's worth, my intention is to overcome some of those issues that you mention. First, I assume you're talking about accidental pollution of the global scope (by omitting 'var'), which can be avoided: see CoffeeScript. Also, I have

You're right. I knew I'd miss something! Thanks for catching my mistake.

There is an inherent simplicity in HTML / CSS / JS that can be easily forgotten and difficult to replace. Each has its responsibility: Organization, Style, and Function I agree in the simplicity of HTML and CSS if we're talking about simp

My thinking is that HTML has limitations, and can cause a lot of repetition. That's one of the reasons for the abstraction (along with avoiding the need for three separate languages), but I can understand that some people might prefer it as

You're right, it's a rare case. I will change that bit.

Done. Thank you.

Thanks, that is my thinking: learning three separate languages is a big burden, especially on beginners.

Thanks for your honest feedback. Would you mind explaining what you mean by "the lack of opinionated language design infers on code"? Are you referring to the fact that it's not specialised for either layout or presentation?

Hi HN, This is my side-project that I've been working on for a while. It would mean a great deal if you'd give me some feedback.

I don't get why this is a good idea (or how it works*). Anyone care to explain? Edit: I'm wondering how it works in a technical sense.

It sounds like you're talking about market manipulation. So, please enlighten us: how is Bitcoin "mathematically flawed"?

I don't really have any expectations; there are so many variables to consider. My guess, however, is that the price will be more stable, given that the effect of any bad news won't be so amplified by the minting of new coins. Currently, the

Agreed. It will be interesting to see what happens at the end of this year when the block reward halves.

The problem is that the content creator might not control the URL; their video might be posted by someone else to YouTube, or their image to Imgur etc. I was thinking that if the submitter knows who the creator is, they can include that per

Interesting concept. Could you somehow allow for sharing revenue with content creators (where possible)? That way, people might be more incentivized to vote, since it would also be a donation to the creator. Maybe you allow the submitter to

You might want to 'thank' the submitter, or want others to see the article (yes, might be prone to abuse).

I think the incentive to vote is to say 'thanks' for a good submission (the votes are extremely cheap). There will be definitely be many freeloaders though, if the site's successful.

Anyone can make pointless, unjustified comments. If you're not going to contribute anything, please don't comment.

I'm sure we'd see all the major browsers work to deprecate those certificate authorities pretty quickly What about the recent Comodo breaches? Their certs are still trusted by all major browsers (as far as I'm aware). I realise they weren

How about banning new software patents, and letting existing ones run their course? The Apples and Microsofts of the world might be okay with that.

My dictionary says, "attacking an opponent’s motives or character rather than the policy or position they maintain". Your first line to pg: You’re an ass. I would say that's an attack on his character. You continue: My point is you're

The older reports are broken, for me at least. They show the same stats as this year's report.

Without copyright, I could take apart J.K Rowling's billion dollar Harry Potter empire by simply republishing and selling all the works myself, without compensation to Ms. Rowling. No, you couldn't. Who would buy the works from you, when
