| > I find it interesting. Note the expression "_new_ and interesting." I find articles about JQuery programming interesting as well. That doesn't make them Hacker News, and that's why I don't post them here and then tell you to skip them if you don't find them interesting. > early phenomenological and empirical data are important... Whose case are you arguing here, yours or mine? Early suggests new. These posts are not new or early, they are old and I do not see anything new in this one. And again, this is not empirical data. I welcome someone investigating the matter and posting data such as a comparison of the number of new apps in the app store to the number being withdrawn, the number of new android developers vs. the number of new iOS developers, and so on. I would find such things interesting and useful. If there is something new or early in this post, please point me to it so I may retract my objection. My mind is open to the possibility that it adds something to the myriad of similar rants posted here and elsewhere in the last year or more, I just need someone to show me what it is. p.s. I disagree with your conclusion with respect to this post, but still upvoted your reply. I agree that when such things present a new direction for investigation, they are Hacker News as I prefer it. But at the end of the day... I am only one person with an opinion on how to interpret the guidelines. |
