They were pretty clear about it - they screwed up by underestimating the scale of the problems. It's better to admit your mistake quickly and try to fix things.

Instead of building a Web of Trust, a better solution might be to find efficient ways of clustering people. Look how civil and insightful this discussion is. Why? Because people have different "quality", even if it's not poli

Shouldn't we try to do something about it and not just give up by saying "oh, that's just human nature, nothing you can do here"?

All the digits of Pi exist, but you still need to do calculations to know what they are.

Seems like this bot is dumber. I used it for a day with a single keyword "aging" - so far it sent me two posts: one for "swaging" and the other one for "messaging" :)

Hm, I didn't know about this bot. It's a new one, created in March this year. I created my bot 3 years ago, there was nothing like it then. Looks similar, with additional functionality. Sad, actually, my bot got zero traction and

Hi HN, I've made a telegram bot that can send you new Hacker News stories by keywords. You specify a list of tags, for example "ai, tesla, musk" and it will start sending you all new stories matching those words. That's

This better mousetrap looks promising.

Nice rant but the answer is simple - incentives. Seems like there's not that much demand for what you would like to see. Crappy, barely working, software now is better then 1 year delayed perfect one.

That's why you need to build something that is at least an order of magnitude better, so people can't ignore you. Otherwise, yes, this was my experience too: in our noisy world dominated by huge corporations, indie hackers stand l

That's a bit different than saying that Fascism "has no grounding in economic theory nor in fostering discussions on how to allocate scarce resources". Both Marxism and Fascism *can* provide valid discussions about economics

My main idea is that freelance sites are sort of broken: you pick a worker, he works on things for a while and then you see if he screwed up or not. You can't really trust his profile. Reviews are also often inconclusive. It would be b

This should be a platform. The main problem is how to convince users to come and vote on projects. If you figure that out - you'll be a millionaire :) One way might be through cryptocurrencies - users crowd-source the idea with money,

SQLite might be a good choice for a project like this. So all your sources for all categories are automated? My main worry was if you have to hunt for content manually - that might not be sustainable. This would also be great for Telegram.

I don't think we should view the problem from the First Amendment point of view - it will be rather hard and cumbersome to come up with something useful this way. Much simpler approach is to just allow users of any platform to self-gov

No, by "attacking" I mean interfering. Simply offending somebody is not an attack. If I say something to my followers - it's not an attack. If you don't like what I am saying, don't follow me. If you, on the other h
