So much for a protocol eh ...

m463 | karma 17870 | avg karma 1.89 · | 2019-08-17 03:41:37+00:00

And it's not a great protocol.

tripzilch | karma 4613 | avg karma 1.12 · | 2012-02-21 15:52:48+00:00

It's a crappy protocol, I agree. I don't see how that's relevant though.

franze | karma 14516 | avg karma 6.77 · | 2016-09-17 16:22:27+00:00

I agree, the protocol part seems pretty outdated.

anthk | karma 3504 | avg karma 0.6 · | 2022-01-31 22:13:26

It's just another protocol.

andrewstuart2 | karma 6658 | avg karma 5.33 · | 2015-02-18 02:05:29+00:00

Care to at least explain why you think it's a bad protocol?

sp332 | karma 55607 | avg karma 2.75 · | 2009-11-26 12:24:14

psst... uh, which protocol was that again?

villgax | karma 976 | avg karma 0.98 · | 2021-06-12 05:06:22

Yeah agreed, but I'm clearly not referring to the protocol.

azinman2 | karma 14541 | avg karma 2.7 · | 2016-08-05 18:32:27

It's a terrible protocol in general. Has all the hallmarks of old thinking, a million people on the panel with a million needs, no consolidation, and no clean minimal implementation that gets you 99% of what you want.

TekMol | karma 9072 | avg karma 4.01 · | 2023-01-10 07:31:15

The protocol itself? Why do you think so?

Aloha | karma 12950 | avg karma 2.76 · | 2023-11-07 06:39:28

To call this a protocol is wildly overstating the meaning behind of the word protocol.

yandie | karma 286 | avg karma 2.13 · | 2022-08-04 15:48:14

But then we have to use yet another protocol?

Someone1234 | karma 47831 | avg karma 6.58 · | 2018-05-19 02:24:14

They'd just stick to Protocol 1

beaumartinez | karma 1838 | avg karma 3.53 · | 2012-05-28 09:30:10

So what underlying protocol would you have used instead?

dmitriid | karma 7372 | avg karma 1.15 · | 2017-10-17 20:24:50+00:00

The protocol was formally verified. And yet...

Zetice | karma 1648 | avg karma 1.39 · | 2023-04-12 02:08:42

It’s a protocol, not a product.

xinayder | karma 418 | avg karma 1.72 · | 2023-11-13 07:55:21

maybe they will ditch the protocol over the years and come up with new protocols instead

ForHackernews | karma 13152 | avg karma 2.54 · | 2014-05-06 20:08:14

We need protocols, not platforms. Unfortunately, it's 2014, and protocols are not sexy.

oblio | karma 25694 | avg karma 2.47 · | 2018-01-07 12:33:21+00:00

"Protocol to protocol", I guess?

mmastrac | karma 45611 | avg karma 11.54 · | 2022-12-06 10:08:11

I didn't want to go too deeply into it, but the protocol definitely has a lot of issues.
