it sucks but there's a difficult balancing act here. How do you prevent griefing or pranks , while also making it pain free for legitimate users to cancel service?
You sound like a douche calling your friend your 'wing' (you don't use that terminology IRL right?). Also, That much sex can't be good on either a physical (venereal disease) or emotional level. I certainly don't wish you or your friend ill, however I can't help but imagine a future for you and your friend of sadness, regret and maybe a good dose of self loathing.
These encounters and 'conquests' seem utterly shallow and devoid of meaning, and coupled with the decidedly non-zero chance of contracting a life-long venereal disease with the real chance of passing these on to future 'real' partners and children... I gotta say I don't see the point.
Stop trying to rely on the hive to vote good stories to the top. Either the democratic approach doesn't work or HN is getting gamed - either way the site is now effectively broken.
A decision has to be made from the top about what HN is all about. If it's startups and business then that's the only type of story allowed. Everything else gets dumped. I don't need another Reddit.
Mods would need strict guidelines about what qualifies and everything even slightly outside of these guidelines gets turfed.
oh and get rid of karma. It's bs. Encourages hivemind like nothing else.
Thanks for the clarification Todd - this makes perfect sense.
I think what confuses the issue for many people, myself included, is that other frameworks(Sencha) are trying to recreate a pixel perfect iOS/Andriod UI/experience in HTML.
Great work, however it's far short of the quality of Sencha Touch.
I have to wonder what the point of mimicking native UI is.
I've just started learning Obj-C and iPhone dev and getting ones head around basic UI functionality is at most 2-3 days worth of playing around. Is is really worth sacrificing native performance and consistency for such marginal gain?
An amazing product that I've been following for the last year has reached the 1.0 milestone.
I don't use GA so can't comment on feature parity. Importantly (for me) it has a powerful API, plugin architecture, easy integration, dead easy multi-site configuration.
Nobody's arguing that you should ditch Flash today, but the use cases for it will diminish over time.
Right now if you want cross browser 3D, video or animation then Flash is the way to go. But in 10 years time when all major browsers have consistent implementations of <video>, canvas, <audio>, webGL etc, etc then, sure use an alternative ;)
I love web standards but they move at glacial speeds, and user adoption is even slower.
