I don't agree with that. If your DDoS prevents me from using services I paid for, I could rightfully sue you in small claims for the damages. They'd be small- a percentage of a monthly Internet bill. It's still damages.

There may be other Googleable reports, but no, that anonymously written press release that only quotes one of his political opponents is not "a report". If it's so easy to find good sources for accusations against him, perha

...and? You just described several hundred members of Congress. There's nothing notorious about any of that. It's swamp-standard.

Did you, though? Is that a report? Or, is it a press release, written pseudonymously, on a local blog no one has ever heard of, that only quotes one of Gottheimer's political opponents, who is accusing him of doing something that is

I don't really wanna get into a political flamewar but I think for a person to be accurately called "notoriously corrupt" I should pretty easily be able to find...I dunno, at least an accusation of corruption somewhere, if no

For this article, from this source? Nah. Never heard of them before and the content isn't that interesting.

Can't read without paying, won't pay $13/mo to read. OP, do you subscribe, can you tell us why?

Confirmation bias + thanks for demonstrating exactly why this shouldn't have been posted on HN

I said what I said because I assumed it wouldn't be that popular and/or the flamewar detectors would hit. It would appear I was correct.

Inflammatory comments made by a non-expert from a low-quality news source. Will be removed from the front page by the next time I check, I assume.

Yup, using your link and this one [1] it would not be unreasonable to estimate that his friend is in the 98% or 99% percentile of earners in the UK. [1] https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/percentile-points-f.

The example you described is handled by our current system. (For the moment, let's put aside whether or not the system always works as intended). Evidence isn't just "brought to court by someone else". It doesn't

Did you see the article on HN a few days ago about how legal marijuana purchases in the US fell from 2021 to 2022? There was a fair bit of debate around why exactly that was but I personally do think that what you mentioned is a part of it

Second paragraph states they are selling the homes, not renting them. You don't have to sell if you're fired, but the parent company gets right of first refusal at market rate for four years. So these concerns as articulated see

I put off going out of state to buy for a few months when I knew my state was opening up shops soon. Obviously that can't be the entire reason, but I think stuff like that combined with people having more interest when the shops are n

I'll ignore the rudeness and respond to the substance- they are not making their home livable, it's in a warzone, it'll still be unlivable but with electricity. And that is not at no cost- they are creating an extremely dang

This isn't even a hacker, though! This is a person who isn't capable of doing extremely basic electrical calculations. It'd be a totally different topic if it was a person who I thought fully appreciated the danger of what

All three of the warnings and concerns you provided are extremely mild compared to the warning/concern that should actually be attached to this post: "if you fuck up while working on this you can easily die, and if anyone who doe

While it's unfortunate that neither this nor any other amount of evidence are likely to convince Lindell et al that they're wrong, at least we can hope that they'll continue to hoist themselves on their on petards.

I mean on the one hand, there's a pretty famous meme about "so you participate in society? Curious!" that is relevant to your comment. On the other hand, I do think your comment is more fair than most cases where that is de

I agree that it was ineffective, that's why I think you should put that link in your bio- I don't think nearly as many people would waste much time talking to you if they were just linked to why you were banned instead of only see

I think you should toss this link in your bio so people can see why dang banned you twice. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34018795

Dear guy who brags about ban evasion in his profile on his 3-month old account: thanks for getting me to check if HN had a block button.

The policy I linked isn't new, just recently updated- they started wading into those waters a long time ago.

you are asserting that having ever worked with the government necessarily means that you are silently, privately doing their editorial bidding on their behalf and I do not think that is reasonable or appropriate

Yes, I am going to argue that that does not prove the new labelling correct. You're assuming bad faith, and using ad hominem to do it. Folks, this is what he's calling a "US Government propaganda bureau": https:/

Here's Twitter's old definition of who is and isn't "state-affiliated". They have since changed it. Note that NPR was literally used as an example of someone who receives state funds but is not "state-affilia
