That's fine - I'm hosting the copy (with permission) because medium is blocked from some locations. Personally, I hate medium's default settings - I just feel like my face is being pushed through mush. But that's a personal thing, and I've certainly lost that battle. <fx: shrug />

  Thank you for that - Medium is blocked in Malaysia, for example, which I can bypass by using Google DNS on WiFi, but not on 4G...

    Interesting. Is it blocked for content reasons (i.e. it hosts political material that is offensive to the censors of the local internet infrastructure) or techno-political reasons (Medium-the-hosting company is banned from providing content in the area due to the company itself)?

It has horrible always-there headers and footers that take a third of my 12" screen. Web designers really need to get their act together. Nothing of such bad quality gets out of the door in any other real industry.

Thanks, we've updated the link.

  As explained elsewhere, this is a copy, hosted at the request of the author, because Medium is blocked in certain countries. Your change means that people in those countries will, if they come to HN, no longer be able to read this article. I'm not sure that's a good thing - did you take the other comments into account when you changed the link?
  - sctb 9y ago
    Alright, we've changed it back.
    - ColinWright 9y ago
      Thank you - I've added some text at the top of the re-hosting to make it clear why it's being hosted there in addition to Medium - I hope that makes it clearer. Is there a way of avoiding this problem in the future, and possibly reducing your workload?
