I feel a PR piece shouldn't be the only post if there's subtext like "a security/privacy flaw" that affected millions. Also the comment thread for the Google PR post seem to be mainly about how little Google+ was used and various issues around its launch. Here's the link if anyone's interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18169243 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18169243
- at-fates-hands 8y agoThis the article I saw and made a note to read after I grabbed some food. Came back and poof its gone off the front page. Thanks for posting this, you saved me a bunch of time digging for it.
- cwkoss 8y agoYeah, I think that official PR pieces shouldn't block articles which critically discuss a company's actions as "dupes".
- excalibur 8y agoCompletely missed the top story. I was scanning for "Google+" in the title, and somehow its appearance at the end of the line threw me off :)
