I was specifically responding to this part: >A web where re-sharing of content is limited by the platform, not by the capabilities of your client. A web where you cannot comment on an article unless registering in a corporate namespace (which kicked you out if you happened to choose a name they do not particularly like).

The point was that Google tried it open, it didn't work. Facebook is closed, they tried that. Is it working?

hm2kon Welcome to the new web.

Google tried it the other way via Google Wave and unfortunately nobody bought into it.

hm2kon The Three Slide Rule

If you employ a 3 slide rule what will happen is people will cram everything onto 3 slides.

The best presentation I ever did followed these steps:

1. Type out everything you want to say. Learn it. It should be easy to learn because you should know your subject.

2. Type out prompts as bullet points for each point your need to get across. Learn them, you should only refer to them if you absolutely need to.

3. Use slides to illustrate your point. You should NEVER be reading directly from or using slides as prompts.

You are the presentation, not the slides.

hm2kon PHP will switch to git

Isn't decentralised and ACL is a bit of an oxymoron?

hm2kon You can't google 9999999..99999999999999999999999

If this were true, surely it should allow you to use quotes to force it to ignore the "range" operator...

hm2kon You can't google 9999999..99999999999999999999999

hm2kon Why must you laugh at my back end?

HTTP Error 503 (Service Unavailable): The server is currently unable to handle the request. This code indicates that this is a temporary condition and that the server will be up again after a delay.

hm2kon Show HN: Like Button for Hacker News

Why did someone downvote this? That's not helpful towards finding what I was looking for.

hm2kon Show HN: Like Button for Hacker News

I'm sure I saw a better implementation of this on someone's blog only last week, but I don't recall where.

I can't be the only one who saw this...

hm2kon The website launch checklist (part 2)

Depends how you look at it.

They read like advise on how to do things, rather than a list of things that are required to do before you launch.

hm2kon "Any time you have worked long hours, it is a sign of a broken process."

Maybe you're working long hours to fix the process?

That's the only reason I work long hours.
