More specifically: "we have met the enemy and he is U.S." This guy knows what he is doing when it comes to unravelling the totalitarian psyche. Most authorites right now are just guzzling it down and pissing it around.

So, "cooperation with police" now entails creating their own criteria for crime and dragnetting the presumed private conversations of a billion people. I guess I better not confirm birthday parties or holidays with young relatives or friends kids on that site.

I've never seen such a spammy startup post on HN.

No need to pitch HN like an infomercial - Just do a SHOW HN: Tripl and you'll see a way better response.

I think the main difference is just that Path only lets you follow such a small number of people. Thus you are immediately saying these people are credible to you & whatever links they share are most likely worth looking into. Versus Foursquare where each link posted is just another drop in the hat for people how have hundreds or thousands of people they follow.

casemorton | 14 years ago | on: Why "Remember Me" Should be Above the Login Button

Hey Jason yeah that is what I was trying to say. Login screens are so second nature to people: username, password, login... that I wonder if that extra check in between would throw them off.

I agree that the auto check does come off slimy at times, but I think I get more annoyed when I have to login to a site again vs. seeing that they already checked a box for me. Either way you have a solid argument. I'd really like to see someone do some A/B testing on this. Oh, and thanks for the response.

casemorton | 14 years ago | on: Why Advertising Works, Even When You Think It Doesn't

Advertising does work, but it also has other issues being overlooked. For instance, all Geico commercials featuring the Cave Men have made me hate listening to Royksopp. I don't believe that's an effect Geico or Royksopp could have anticipated. Be ready for the affects good or bad if you're the 3rd party in one of these 'viral' ads.
