>Please don't post trash video links like this here. Are you a mod, or just emulating one? I watched the linked video in its entirety. It essentially said that the number is not six million but eleven million, and those five million people commonly forgotten deserve better. The tone was mostly somber and respectful. While I loathe the general YouTube personality format to the core of my being, it's probably a stretch to call the video trash. Of course, linking just a video URL is arguably poor form for HN.

My apologies, from the description and the title (forgetting the "holocaust") it seemed like a denier video. I was on my mobile and could not watch more than a few seconds. It was wrong to call it trash if the content is as you describe.

  My post gathered negative 4 points so far, so rest assured that you're not the only one who fell for this. But for fuck's sake, read/listen to the thing you comment on. Is this how engineers should behave? Do you build a new tool instead of understanding the old one? Do you re-do the library based on functional requirements (which you may or may not have read) instead of understanding and maybe refactoring it? You made an ass of yourself, with your name, blog and github account searchable via your profile. This was a minor offence. Breathe and do better next time.

    Don't post a single youtube link with no comment in the future if you expect people to engage with it. Your comments about "how engineers should behave" are not at all relevant, nor warranted.

    >You made an ass of yourself, with your name, blog and github account searchable via your profile. No need to be vindictive, he already apologized. So what if his real identity is tied to his account? Even if that somehow mattered, the fact you're trying to attack him for it while yourself remaining anonymous is hypocritical at best.
