Our Deadliest Problem? Not Terrorism
- kolev 11y agoPosting content behind a paywall should be forbidden here on HN.
- a3n 11y agoWhy? Isn't HN fundamentally about startups that want to make money? What if everyone refused to buy YCombinator services and products? What if everyone refused to buy your company's output? You could do what I do when there's a paywalled article that I don't have subscription access to: click away. Read something else. BTW, I subscribe to the NYT online precisely because I saw so many NYT articles here on HN. But I don't subscribe to FT or the Economist. I can't read everything, but I have enough to read.
- kolev 11y agoThis site is about discovering and rating content and how I can rate and promote something I cannot read?!
- orionblastar 11y agoI'm not paying to read an article. I feel that climate change is more of a danger than terrorism right now. Most terrorists are in the Middle-East and that is where a lot of their victims are located as well. Very few make it to the west and spread terrorism. Our security is so incompetent that if they wanted to do something they'd do it already. TSA failed 95% of the time in detecting contraband. http://time.com/3904473/tsa-security-test-breach-fail/ http://time.com/3904473/tsa-security-test-breach-fail/
