I'm not advocating against the existence of a Flock map, which is a good thing. I'm arguing that it shouldn't be hosted behind a CDN that openly cooperates with the same totalitarian surveillance state that the site in questi

Most US-based companies aren't conducting MITM attacks that capture plaintext traffic for something like 20% of all global internet traffic. Accordingly, most US-based companies are not in a position for bulk data collection and assist

As a friendly reminder, you're arguing with an apologist for the security-flawed approach that the NSA advocates for and wants. There are absolutely NSA technical and psychological operations personnel who are on HN not just while at w

The diagnostic reliability criteria even back then painted a picture of the details of the condition space being more nuanced than what were currently being captured, not less nuanced, so the idea of reducing nuance and distinction still

Topically relevant: the DSM 5 eliminated the distinction between what was formerly called an Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis from an Autism diagnosis, in part because the name "Asperger" came from a Nazi scientist, and therefor

Counterpoint: Stallman was right. Technology is a net benefit to society when users can control it, whereas stripping control from users (a la proprietary software) enables and promotes abusive, exploitative business practices like these.
