Several 404 for me as well, but because they're trivially malformed. Extracting the obvious destination from the url (and sometimes correcting for e.g. a missing / in http:// http://) results in urls that work: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/23/us/politics/russian-hacking-usa-cyber-command.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/23/us/politics/russian-hacki... https://www.armed-services.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Nakasone_02-14-19.pdf https://www.armed-services.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Nakasone... https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/us-cyber-command-operation-disrupted-internet-access-of-russian-troll-factory-on-day-of-2018-midterms/2019/02/26/1827fc9e-36d6-11e9-af5b-b51b7ff322e9_story.html/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.0daec82fe881 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/us-cy... https://riafan.ru/1155441-kiberataka-ssha-na-fan-podrobnosti-neudachnoi-operacii-us-cyber-command https://riafan.ru/1155441-kiberataka-ssha-na-fan-podrobnosti... https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/08/02/2019/5c5c51069a7947bef4503927 https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/08/02/2019/5c5c51069... http://tass.com/world/1046641 http://tass.com/world/1046641 etc

> Who is upvoting this stuff? HN is starved for conversation about this. There's a massively futuristic cyberwar happening between the US and Russia. Hackers galore, wild spy stories, technological innovation, clever ideas, things happening at scale, etc - all the kinds of topics HN would love to have a conversation about! But every story about it gets flagged and removed. So HN never, ever talks about the most interesting topic of our day (IMO). I think that is why this is getting upvotes. It'll probably disappear soon, as the rest of posts do on this topic. I don't have any info about this source btw, it could be a useless site. Just trying to add some insight. The topic isn't political btw. Saying the President is compromised by Russia, along with much of the Republican party is just a fact. But HN sees that as political I guess, and things are removed. It's really unfortunate.

  Where is this being discussed by knowledgeable people and not getting deleted? I'm asking because I'd really like to know more of the details.

    Years of accepting an unquestionable narrative on either end of the spectrum tricks many people into thinking it is a fact as the perceived majority in their own social network bubbles push it as an undeniable truth as part of a multi-year long black/white narrative. Because it is a fact, it cannot be political :)

    They seem to be using 'political' to mean false, propaganda, 'biased' or something. So then 'fact' and 'political' are non-overlapping categories. Like non-biased vs biased, opinion vs fact, lies vs reality. Not so surprising someone thinks the word means that - maybe that's how it's used in some circles...

      I understand how they used it. It’s just ironic saying that something isn’t political and then immediately saying that is hyper-political right after.
