- Otek 3y ago> Quoted below to save you a click I hope not many people are reading a comment section before article.
- Greenpants 3y agoI, for one, often glance at the comments first to check if an article is valid. If not, there's probably a highly rated comment explaining what's wrong with an article's facts or reasoning. Saves me not just a click, but lots of time reading lesser quality articles too.
- gruturo 3y agoI always check out the HN comments first. The HN comments don't assault my browsers with popups, ads, awful styling and who knows what else. I may learn what the article is about (not always clear from the title of the submission) and be warned of other people's reactions (like "WOW that giant flashing thing on page 2 can trigger a seizure!" or "Site hijacks back button!" or even more importantly, "Article is a waste of time, author has it all wrong. Here's an authoritative source which explains why"). I may or may not risk a click at all if there are no comments. I do read the article before commenting though. (Well.... not this time, but it's kind of a meta topic)
- benterix 3y agoI have automatic PDF downloads configured as the built-in browser PDF viewers are often subpar. So for sure I will check the comments before deciding if I want to click on a PDF link (in this case: I don't).
- foul 3y agoSometimes I have the arrogance to have an expectation of what could I read there on the article, so I read the comment section on HN first to find unexpected insight or a POV I wouldn't find boring, for better or worse.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoI always check HN comments before the article. The comments play a big part in deciding whether I even want to read the article.

- foobarian 3y agoTIL Paw Patrol brand is popular enough in Europe to have product tie-ins
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoThe copaganda seems reasonably popular with young kids, if toy stores and the like are anything to go by.
- Waterluvian 3y agoCanadian culture infiltrating the world, one pup at a time. Though Bluey is definitely the better product.
- blamazon 3y agoThere's a new one in the mix too, called Pupstruction, which seems to be Disney's "this is legally distinct from paw patrol" entry. Watch Disney Junior and you'll see a lot of Bluey and Pupstruction. Bluey is still king to me, but Pupstruction being centered around construction rather than law enforcement is a positive distinction in my eyes.
- adam-a 3y agoThere seems to be a weird popular misconception about Paw Patrol being some sort of police recruitment propaganda for toddlers. I've (unfortunately) had to sit through hundreds of episodes and it really isn't. The police dog is not particularly treated as a main character as all of them are given pretty equal screen time and storylines (out side the recent film, which does focus on him). And even when the episodes do focus on Chase it's barely police work, certainly he doesn't go around pointing his gun at immigrants. His main ability as a police officer seems to be that he has a megaphone.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoIndeed. And even if it had some police propaganda, this wouldn't be that bad anywhere in the developed world except the US. The perception of police spending most time harassing minorities and exacerbating humanitarian crises? That's a US problem. Literally no one else has it. Which is what makes the attitudes to LEO that US exports sad, and perhaps even dangerous.
- selimthegrim 3y agoWow, that Saw Patrol tie-in is coming in earlier than expected.
- Thomashuet 3y agoTheir website was not really hacked, it was just abandoned and someone else registered the domain and put porn there.

- geek_at 3y agoReminds me of the time I was buying a windshield for my 2001 Ford Focus and I had troubles on the website and by chance found out they link a js file from a non registered domain so I registered it and watched the traffic. Seems to have been used on multiple sites and when a site loads js from a compromised site you can do anything on the site. I reported it four times and after 6 months they still didn't fix it. https://blog.haschek.at/2019/threat-vector-legacy-static-websites.html https://blog.haschek.at/2019/threat-vector-legacy-static-web...
- ipython 3y agoI like your ssh-to-comment system! Clever!
- mrelectric 3y agoYou have a very cool site sir.
- nneonneo 3y agoThe domain is available again; I wonder if anyone is still using those scripts?
