"If that's all it said it would not have been deleted. We have a rule here about personal comments. Not allowed. If you want rant about an individual, do it in your own space. I'm not even *slightly* interested." - Dave Winer

"I don't see how you could possibly know that unless you could read their minds. Anyway, I've had to delete a couple of your comments because they were way too personal (not about me, but about others). You're not free to do that here. Post those kinds of comments on your blog, not mine." - Dave Winer

"Re avoiding comments, I'm sure you realize it's ironic to be saying that in a comment on my blog, yes? ;-)" - Dave Winer

"Yeah, it's hard to imagine." - Dave Winer

"I don't like what he said about me. For one thing, it's impossible to respond to someone who thinks he can hear your tone of voice in a blog post. The tone he's hearing is his own creation. I'm not responsible for it. I try not to blog when I'm depressed or "grumpy" -- I was actuallly excited when I wrote that post, because I found something that illustrated a point I had been wanting to make." - Dave Winer

"Or have their comments moderated into the bit bucket. :-)" - Dave Winer

"That's why I think we should get rid of it, the same way Twitter does. If Hacker News can't control their trolls, then we should block Hacker News." - Dave Winer

"I hope that's all it is. I wonder if there's some way to get a better error message from them?" - Dave Winer

"Tom, we just released a new version 5 minutes ago, and you found a bug for us. Which I hopefully just fixed. Could you try again and let me know if it works now?" - Dave Winer

"It was in writing. Doesn't matter if you're not prepared to fight." - Dave Winer

"BTW, Hacker News is fucked up. Mostly trolls, and a handful of people trying to enforce civility on them. Waste of bandwidth." - Dave Winer

"I use Flickr for my photo archive." - Dave Winer

"They were in writing, in the merger agreement and in my employment agreement. But I was als a very large shareholder in the company. So I wasn't going to get adversarial with them. They could have lived up to the terms by pretending to let me "architect" the strategy. Wouldn't have made a difference. No one in that position who had any common sense would sue the company. It would be self-destructive." - Dave Winer

"It should work with self-hosted ones too." - Dave Winer

"Thanks for explaining. It's certainly true if they have a NY office that makes it easier to visit." - Dave Winer

"I'm sorry I don't get it -- why does NYC need Yahoo? I must be missing something." - Dave Winer

"We changed the way it works a couple of weeks ago, so now it gives an overview of what the product does, and the limited access it has to your Dropbox. And there's a button that takes you to even more information alongside the one that takes you to Dropbox. Here's a screen shot of the new dialog, and you can see it of course by going to http://fargo.io/. http://www.flickr.com/photos/s... We tried to address exactly the concerns we were hearing from people who legitimately wanted more information before giving access to the product. Dave" - Dave Winer

"1. There's nothing to delete. The reader view of your outline just takes a param that points to the outline. We haven't created anything for your outline, so there's nothing to delete. Just don't pass the link around. If you already have, then delete the outline, and people will see nothing when they go to the link you sent. 2. You can't delete myname.smallpict.com, but you can certainly delete the outline it includes. The name will stay there. It's not really yours, the outline is yours. 3. The docs for named outlines is on the worknotes site. Still actively in development. http://worknotes.smallpicture.... Dave" - Dave Winer

"Check the Troubleshooting Tips section of the Fargo docs. http://smallpicture.com/fargoD..." - Dave Winer

"Eric Davis posted his thoughts. http://reader.smallpicture.com..." - Dave Winer

"I wish I remembered what that means! This shit is so complicated and convoluted. I guess I'll probably figure it out." - Dave Winer

"Jorg, maybe Google screwed up the translation, but I didn't say that Fargo heralds a renaissance of blogging. It would be happening even if I weren't doing anything. I do have big ambitions, but there's no need to overstate it to make it sound insane." - Dave Winer

"Thanks! I've been a subscriber of your feed for many years. I want to see if we can get one of the icons of the Mac world to get involved. Having a personal magnet will help the idea grow big quicker. I want to start in the Mac and show other areas of journalism that there's a different way we can do news that isn't dependent on Twitter, that can be much better. I'm thinking a little bigger than just the Mac. Everything I said in the post is true, I'd just add that if there were more news about products I might use, I might become a more involved Mac user. I can't get all my news from members of the Church. I need some other points of view. I'm skeptical of only getting one angle on what's happening. Long-winded answer. Short version: Let's see what happens in the next few days. ;-)" - Dave Winer

"BTW, this is the problem with academics. They have no respect for commercial development and graduate people with attitudes like this. If you had approached this with respect, or at least a little bit of uncertainty, I could teach you a thing or two about this, because like you, I have a graduate degree in Comp Sci, and I graduated with a fuck-you attitude toward lowly commercial developers, but as soon as I shipped a product, I realized they were bullshitting us in school about how easy this stuff is. Anyway, to the substance.. Have you ever watched a movie starting in the middle, and then tried to watch it again, maybe years later, and found that you could practically recite the lines, once you got to the part where you had started viewing? That's the kind of memory we're talking about. Of course the computer should remember all it possibly can for you. But there are tradeoffs. Did you have to organize the material in such a way that the computer could remember? If so, maybe you're..." - Dave Winer

"Yes. Yes I can! But I bet you got an A in that course. Maybe A-plus. How many hit products have you shipped? :-)" - Dave Winer

"CORS works great. Yes, that's what we have in mind, for starters. ;-)" - Dave Winer

"Nice! I think it would be a good idea to announce it on the Community Feed as well, since 99.99999 percent of the people who would be interested in this are there. Let's see if there will be any users. And thanks for taking up the invitation." - Dave Winer

"We call it inclusion, and it's in Fargo now." - Dave Winer

"outliver == is like a colostomy bag, but for your liver." - Dave Winer

"Roughly equal length. In my software the limit is 280, seems to work well." - Dave Winer
