Except in this case it is not emergency. Same as flu each year is not an emergency.

Moderation of discussions in issue tracker for example. Some are quite non-constructive (e.g. 100s of "+1" comments).

Ashley Williams twitter was public, and it is private now. Seems like it is about her again.

Sounds like a successful political power grab by someone in the core team.

OK, lots of downvotes and no replies. HN becomes very toxic these days.

> Renewables need to be combined with power sources that can be turned on and off quickly and on demand. No they don’t. Wind and solar energy output can be very well predicted for hours and days ahead.

Maybe it should be restricted. I personally think the ability to censor free speech and free expression for such companies should be restricted. But destroy it? That'd be too much.

Thank you making an assessment of my character knowing virtually nothing about me. This is not an emotional support forum. If you don’t want to have your relationship discussed, don’t bring it here, that’s it.

This is an attitude of blaming everyone else but yourself. Obese? Hate Coca-Cola. Lung cancer? Hate Philip Morris. Broke a leg in car crash? Hate BMW. Depressed? Hate Facebook. Facebook is just a tool. How you use it, it is your responsibil

The company where you purchase stuff probably also has deaths at workplace, but it doesn’t get into news.

Under SH, there was a total information blockade, internet was not available, people simply could not know what is happening outside of Iraq except for what is provider by government sources. Now internet is more or less available in Iraq.

No you go and check. This is a silly argument.

People need to live free, not to be held slaves under the least evil dictator. I’m sorry for all commenters here who value pity lives more than freedom.
