They modified the algorithm to avoid the front page getting flooded by the_donald. Their posts still make it to the front page.

Spez isn't emotionally adept to handle the abuse you get as a reddit CEO. Yishan wrote before that he was good at the technical side of the job but he's neither a strong businessman nor a community leader.

The top comment right now says >It's a choice between center-right "left" that's sold out to the establishment and the far right. I came here hoping there would be a more open discussion then on reddit, but it's

No matter what your opinion is of mainstream media, replacing it with disinformation, half-truths, and fabrications is not an improvement.

By "top news link" the author is talking about the top link in Google's web search results. That website doesn't show up on news.google.com.

GOP too but you won't see anyone petty enough to post that to the front page of HN. And I agree this garbage doesn't belong here.

I consider Elon Musk of a similar caliber but it's interesting to see how different both of them are portrayed: Stallman is weird, frustrating, and an Aspie, and Musk is eccentric, ambitious and a legend. (All real quotes from HN). The

I know the feeling. Trump supporters inadvertently called me crooked, corrupt, elitist, a liar, a murderer, a bitch, a cunt, and a nasty woman. And I'm not even a woman.

You just won the election. I wonder when the right is going to stop playing the victim. I'm sure President Trump will be very accommodating to those who think differently from him.

What Trump supporters fail to grasp is that many on the left agree but don't think Trump is the man for the job. He doesn't care about culture. You've been duped.

We're seeing the same recovery in Europe which is to be expected after a recession (although long overdue). I'm not sure why HN sees it as "left-wing political theater" and "establishment propaganda".

I disagree. >As that uber-blogger Dave Winer observed: “Gawker is gone because Peter Thiel financed its murder-by-lawyer. It’s legal to do this in the US, but until now as far as I know, no one has crossed this line. Now that the line ha

My guess is that imgur started out profitable but that ended when gifs became popular. /r/all is about 50% gifs nowadays. The low bandwidth of an image host makes it possible to allow hotlinking but that doesn't work with vid

This is the direction we should and, I predict, we will be headed. Personal recommendations and analytics should be optional and opt-in. The EU cookie law is a step in the right direction but the reason it's so clumsy is because cookie
