That kind of research will be done regardless. I'd rather their results be publicized and customers be cognizant of their own biases and the way they are being manipulated.

The benefits of that kind of CoC remain to be proven. Meanwhile, I note that HN's moderating guidelines do not mention sex, gender, religion, food choices, or most of what FreeBSD's new CoC describes. HN's moderating guidelin

Recently, I went shopping for vitamin D supplements and I was surprised by the very wide range in products marketed for daily usage, going from 600 IU to 12,000 IU. The recommended intake and upper limit vary depending on which country&#x27

I haven't read a single comment here from someone "getting angry at the idea of diversity." What I've read are comments expressing disappointement that speakers are being judged by the color of their slides, not the cont

Louis CK jokes about masturbation too; They're entertainers and raw humour is 2GD's trademark. It's like hiring Don Rickles and then complain that he wasn't nice to the attendees. The issue with that hosting gig is that

How is that even an argument? That's a false dilemma. The choice isn't limited to binary blob Flash/Silverlight vs binary blob DRM plugin.

"insecure", "huge red flag." For a banking site, an e-commerce site, a webmail, sure. Must an aquarium enthusiast forum be resistant to Man-in-the-Middle attacks? What about weak ciphers? Should every site be resistant t

The other side of that coin is there needs to be a cost to bad actions. If Bernie Maddoff was to reimburse every penny he stole, would you ask people to trust him with their money? I expect not. Similarly, if a politician was against equal

I don't see anything that I would describe as "spamming" in that account's history. I can't say what the feature was meant for, but we can see how it's been used.

Is that a lot or...? Without a frame of reference I don't know if it's more than a litre of coffee or a litre of asparagus water from Whole Foods.

Are you sure you want to compare cryptocurrency exchanges' safety to 19th century banks? In the 21st century, customers of traditional banks usually don't lose any money when a bank is robbed.

Over the years, I saw the language in the Taser article on Wikipedia go from "less-lethal" to "less-than-lethal" (shortly) to "non-lethal" (current) when describing the weapon. In retrospect I wonder if the Tas

People who read the first submission (before the rebuttal) will miss the follow-up if it doesn't reach the front page. Assuming they don't go back to the first submission to read new(?) comments.
