1) I, as well, was glad that this wasn't another "HN is turning into Reddit"
2) I was one of the people who chose headache just to play around with the site. Incidentally, I never got to finish because the site hung on the last part so I never found out what happens at the end.
Out of curiosity, are there any legal implications of running a service like this? Would the FDA or AMA disapprove of this?
- cmonsen 15y agoWe were getting a lot of traffic in a short amount of time that day, so the site performance was lacking. You might have better luck trying again (maybe wait a few hours until this new HN traffic dies down). I welcome the opinion of a legal expertise on your later point, but we're taking the appropriate measures based on the advice we've received.
- fein 15y agoIf we assume that reddit only consists on r/programming, then reddit cannot exist without HN. I don't even bother to check out the programming subreddit anymore, as it's just the HN mainpage with way more memes and far less discussion. As far as the headaches go: We all stare at LCD displays for 6+ hours a day. What more would one expect?
