sp332, it seems that I cannot nest another comment again. Don't you think that your conclusion means that the Karma system on HN is fundamentally flawed?
comment
Thanks for clarification; I already had a pretty good idea of how this worked.
I still believe that we should map what happens in real life, which is: "if someone influential says something, you …
comment
And I disagree.
In real life, if someone important or influential says something, you are MORE impressed. This should be reflected in HN as well. As said on another comment, I would love to see this f…

I understand your point, but I have a different view. Sometimes there are MANY comments on a thread, and looking at the Karma can help you decide which comment you want to take a look at. Besides, it …

I'm Italian and I think I know something about good food: trust me, there are only exceptions in San Francisco. Most food is crap, or just average. And ALWAYS overpriced. Take the "trendy&qu…

Matteo,
thanks for your thoughts. As always, deep and great. What surprises me is that there is so much written about flirting, courting, having a successful relationship or marriage, and so on, and s…

100% agree, that's the same feeling that I have.
