- NikolaeVarius 6y agoI wanted to read about tanks or life vests
- xwdv 6y agoI personally have no idea what this article is really talking about or what the significance of it is that would cause it to be up voted so highly. Baffled.
- njharman 6y agoHN has high proportion of "tech" people. Tech people old enough to have lived through "birth of Internet" or into 80's hacker/phreaker culture will know of MAE West and MAE East. These people, upvoted for nostalgia and to express comradery with poster.
- xwdv 6y agoBut why? What is the connection?
- dghlsakjg 6y agoThe post is about a person named Mae West. The wikipedia article linked is about a infrastructure exchange point with the same name
- xwdv 6y agoI’m talking about the original article. The person. Why?
- labster 6y agoI learned something from reading this article. Plus Mae West was a hacker of a sort: she interpreted censorship as damage and routed around it. Obviously not as much of a hacker as Hedy Lamarr, but still she led an interesting life.
