Genuinely curious why this is on hacker news?

    I think this response assumes snark in the post - since emergency calling has been around and is a feature of the phone - has something notable happened that would bubble this up. I don't believe the intent was to assume this didn’t belong - but a request for more context on why it was being posted / voted up.

      > I don't believe the intent was to assume this didn’t belong I'm genuinely curious why you think that.

        Assume good faith.

        The phrasing of "genuinely curious" implies innocent curiosity rather than snark. I assume you're referencing this yourself though through use of the same phrase, haha

  It's useful to know. The phone I have right now doesn't have such a feature. I've idly wondered whether it's in breach of some law because of that.
