I see you're using the new definition of literally, the one that means figuratively. In the same sentence you have said it is no different and then said it is vastly different. Your post makes no sense.
Even if you were right that the data is 100% hash-compatible, SHA-1 it and get the same data as the API (you're wrong), it being streamlined is a huge difference and makes this news, in fact.
You surely agree that an individual person walking up to others on the street and asking a question is different than a team of 10M people doing them same thing, right? But there's "literally no difference", just streamlined?
Streamlining something defines patents and makes billions. Streamlining a legal activity can make it illegal.
Your post is wrong, you are using logical fallacies and you are then blaming everyone else with harsh language, while it is is you who seems to have, in your own words, some kind of "facebook derangement syndrome". Wow, those are rude words. Flagged.
- hackinthebochs 8y agoDid you actually write this many words based on your disagreement of my usage of "literally"?
- cryptoz 8y agoNo, I wrote that comment because you are an abrasive member of the community who is writing direct insults to other members, calling them deranged, etc, and doing other things that are against the rules of the site. You are breaking the conversation here. You are distracting. You are lying. You are being abrasive and causing fights. You are calling people names and causing a big scene. You ignored my entire post, and instead chose to post an off-topic question, further distracting and hurting the conversation. That is also against the rules. I'm responding to you so that others are more aware of the damage you are causing. We are not "deranged" people for our thoughts on Facebook. Stop it.
- dang 8y agoSince this is a repeating pattern and asking you many times to stop doing it hasn't apparently worked, I've banned you until we get a commitment from you at hn@ycombinator.com that it won't happen again.
- dang 8y agoHere you've crossed into incivility, which is not ok. Please (re-)read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and post civilly and substantively, or not at all.
