I really hope this does well (because I'd like to discover more interesting and useful content).

I've been on the home page a few times and haven't yet signed up.

My behavior on the homepage has been to click the "more example threads" button.

I'd guess that the thing that would make me more likely to sign up is to be able to see/discover more great threads before signing up. (Similar suggestions that people have given to twitter, i.e. provide max utility for logged out users so people who aren't yet converts can experience the magic. I think that might apply to your site)

Hope this helps and I'll look forward to seeing the site succeed!

Tl;Dr I'd personally be interested in seeing more cool threads on the homepage and perhaps displayed in a way that makes it easier to find ones that are particularly interesting to me, so that I can get "hooked" on the service.

(Makes me think of Chamath's talk, where he talked about facebook's magic moment being 7 friends in 10 days https://ryangum.com/chamath-palihapitiya-how-we-put-facebook... - I wonder if your magic moment is getting people to discover a thread that is both really useful or interesting to them and that they feel is secret/that they likely wouldn't have been able to find elsewhere on the internet)
Interesting idea, but anything that wants to read my email is a big Nope.
Poor wage growth down to ‘superstar’ tech firms, OECD says
It's easier to reason about highly asynchronous code if all you can do is transform and compose streams, and all side-effecting work happens at the "ends of the pipe", so to say.

Arbitrary side-effects coupled with asynchronicity are a recipe for Heisenbugs.

Additionally, if you add in the constraint that you can't change signal routing at runtime and you only use pure functions on stream, you can actually debug by moving streams to any point in their history and figuring out what the system is doing with them. That's a very common debugging technique in the Elm programming language, for instance, as shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUeLd7T7Xi4.

Do I have the right to go into peoples homes and root through their archived correspondence to find and burn lengthy personal Christmas letters I once sent them? If instead of writing a letter I made a video and sent them a link, and they decided to keep the video around, that would be no different.

They would have no moral right to republish that letter/video, but I would have no moral right to take their copy from them.

Yandex is quite successful despite not being American, so a local search engine business in Western Europe would not be impossible (www and mp3 are European inventions, so could be the PageRank algorithm).

Not sure yet, but you're correct. I signed up because of one good show. Hoping it's not a fluke and they have some other good stuff. Fragmentation does suck, but so far, Hulu/Netflix/Amazon combined are a better deal than what my cable provider was giving me.

Your comment made me think of a web portal for uploading videos, so the content creator uploads once, and selects what content platforms he wishes to share it with.

The people behinnd the portal could have a sign-up page so that any platforms that wish to host a non-exclusive copy can sign up in order for uploaders to be able to select them as well. This could potentially cause the portal hosters (internet archive?) to suffer a lot of upload, but then there are no legal troubles whatsoever (assuming the uploader had the copyrights) in preserving or migrating content.

The big networks might refuse to sign up (to prevent such a portal and hence competing content networks from getting a foot in the door regarding network effect), or make it hard to have the single portal entity mediate the uploading to them in the name of the content owner, but in a sense it is not more cat-and-mouse game, but a differently placed one: at upload instead of download.
Spourious claims about the chemical makeup of vapor? Check.

Misinformed statements about what science found about the dangers of vaping vs cigarettes? Check.

Citations of studies with no peer review, that likely don't say what the article claims? Check.

Wrong information about the mechanics of vaping? Check.

Boogyman chemistry? Check.

No indicative knowledge about how people actually use these devices? Check.

What about the children-isms? Double check.

Look, I get it. As someone who vapes, I truly do my best to treat it like smoking, which is saying I do my darndest to respect those around me.

I don't know what to think of Juul. I was told it has 50 mil nic and my jaw hit the floor. Those that vape knows that's a crazy number, and obviously these are incredibly low powered devices.

People do move from Juul to more advanced setups, and yes, they step all the way down to 12 or 6 mil (nicotine) off the bat and likely go down to 3 mil after a few months.
As someone who works for the Defense Department I found this article totally unsurprising. This sort of story is common. The question people should be asking is why does it take a 3-star general's blessing in order to get a team functioning computers that are usable for something besides Email and Microsoft Office.

Another major obstacle that isn't touched on in this article is buying things. Typical timeline for purchasing anything through the normal mechanisms is minimum 4 months and 6-9 months isn't uncommon many years. Doesn't really matter how much it costs. So any group that wants to get things done on a reasonable timeline ends up putting a substantial portion of their budget on a contract who's sole purpose is to be a purchasing vehicle that circumvents the usual buying process.
No OAuth is needed to make an account. For most social sites (e.g. HN), 95% of the content comes from 5% of the users. We're not trying to be any different, beyond the fact that it's also a useful business tool.

Also, when our Gmail plugin gets released the OAuth story will be much better. Basically they have a scope that's read-only OAuth, but the plugin only gets access to the thread that's currently open when the user activates the plugin for that thread. That's exactly how it should work. There are still a couple features missing, we can build it without them but we're trying to work with Google to save some duplicated code on our backend.
> - Permission requests are becoming optional, at least for now. Previously we required permission for all non-anonymized message contributors, now there will be an option to publish stuff immediately and let people anonymize themselves later if they want. If this is excessively abused we'll re-evaluate this, but we've tried to build things to incentivize good judgment.

This is horrible! I mean, people can always be jerks, and publish private email. But you're facilitating that. This could readily be used, as an example, as a type of revenge porn. Sure, victims can anonymize themselves. But only after the information has been published, and potentially scraped. And you know that jerks will be scraping your site, for just this reason.

The default must be requiring explicit permission from all participants. Without permission, even anonymization is insufficient to protect against abuse.

You make it sound like there is money "lost". The dollars that are spent end up in the economy and go in the development of new materials and technologies that otherwise wouldn't have been developed. Whether there is a direct benefit to humanity of finding the fundamental laws of physics is another matter, but the way towards that has always been very fruitful.
A good example of this is ratings on Amazon. You can give up to five stars, but most people just give 1 or 5 depending on if they were satisfied or dissatisfied. Additionally, people confuse precision for certainty and will perceive an estimate of 89.1% as more accurate than 90%.
I've yet to see anyone come up with a definition of free will that makes sense without discarding the intuition people have about free will and instead tacitly accepting it's only "free" if you insist on not looking too closely. But doubly so in the case of actions like these, that people feel strongly compelled to.

I'd actually consider using a service that did that.

> The default must be requiring explicit permission from all participants.

That's still the default. There are lots of legitimate use cases for publishing stuff without permission though, e.g. emails from Steve Jobs or whatever.

Normally when social sites get a lot of traction and then die it's because they go into a death spiral of negativity: e.g. Secret, Whisper, Yik Yak, etc. The best practice for avoiding this is to err on the side of too much friction when launching, and then to reduce friction for people who are contributing positively to the community.

That's basically the model we're following. The whole point of the site is to showcase positive interactions between people. E.g. showing conversations between VCs, between academics, lawyers, etc. I think the site is too wonky to get overly negative, but if it starts going that way then we'll be very quick to change things up again.

I'm avoiding Delta and Gamma mostly because its clear that you understand those issues. Or at very least, I haven't seen you write anything that warrants me correcting you with regards to Delta / Gamma.

Also, Delta and Gamma are the causes of big-swings. So I think most people fear those and give them appropriate amount of respect.

Theta on the other hand is the difficult one. Option sellers collect the pennies in front of the steamroller, while option buyers are hoping that they're right eventually. Typical human psychology doesn't really handle this case very well, on either side.

> why not just have an inbound address?

We'd love to! Unfortunately going from just the last email in the thread to being able to reconstruct the entire thread would be exceedingly difficult.

Also, being able to use DKIM / SPF / DMARC / ARC to ensure the authenticity of conversations is very important to us. If you get a permission request from our site, we want you to be 100% confident that what you see when you preview the thread is going to be what you actually wrote, and that the uploader wasn't able to change the text at all. We support making redactions and anonymizing folks, but are strongly against people being able to change the text of what they or others wrote after the fact.

The whole magic of the site is being able to have the experience of looking over other people's shoulders into their inbox, and seeing how they actually talk with one another when they're not on stage. We're all for reducing friction, but we'd rather do it by just making a really slick Add-on so that we don't have to compromise on that core value.

As for the Gmail OAuth situation, I completely agree and have been raising awareness of this on HN since long before this became a big issue the other day. You can see my tickets requesting narrower OAuth scopes here:

This is a really an abuse of trust. When I send an email, I expect it to exist for a certain audience that's it. If I wanted it to be public, I would have posted it on a public forum. It's not up to the recipient to decide what should be done with my content. I'm the one that decides that. If you want to get legal about it, as the author, the copyright is mine, not the person I send it to.

Not only are you running afoul of privacy, and abuse issues, you're running afoul of legal issues.

This is a really abusive idea.

Playing devil's advocate here (and I think like you) but you're in a minority group just by virtue of being on this site, the average end user that isn't you is really stupid about tech issues and wants "protection" (or some other self serving issue).

Thus, we get dumb laws by politicians so they can point to what they have done for the average user that has no understanding of how any of the internet works. The web of today for me has really just turned into a problem of critical mass. For example, Google Eternal September[1], early adopters (nerds) have been going through this problem on the internet for awhile, and I honestly feel like it's never going to get better for us.

I didn't mean that mathematicians don't write code; I meant that doing most mathematics isn't anything like doing programming, even when you're programming in Haskell. Just because two things are isomorphic doesn't mean they're used in the same way. For example, programming is formal but rarely rigorous; mathematics is the opposite.

Something to keep in mind is that the tobacco industry has a ton of money, a demonstrated willingness to play dirty if needed, and a deeply vested interest in undermining companies like Juul.

I'm not saying that the The Verge or Rachel Becker have any intention of defending the tobacco industry from disruptive startups, not am I suggesting that vaping in general or Juul in specific aren't be problematic.

What I am saying is that there's an immense amount of money and effort is being deployed to ensure that people will defend the tobacco industry and will attack vaping, and it's always worth being extra cautious. "Where there's smoke, there's fire" is rarely a useful heuristic, but it's extra useless when you know there's a guy with a smoke machine around the corner. :)
