That’s not what flagging something is for— it’s for posts that break the site guidelines— and that’s why the flag has been manually removed.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you're saying. Do you mean aquilaFiera's comment is commenting on the study itself in a way that I've missed, or that their criticism of the school is criticism of the study by proxy becaus

Ah, ok that makes more sense, especially because this would almost certainly trigger a whole lot of people logging in on every device they have to make sure it wasn't a device artifact, and maybe the APIs/systems were both affecte

Don't use coinbase, but this seems like the sort of thing they'd stick a warning about in a flash message on the account page itself. "We've recieved reports of our page incorrectly reporting account balances. Please sta

Seems to be an indictment of BYU's track record with sexual assault-- they didn't question the study.

> A bad government will be bad, period. That's a wildly black-and-white perspective on an insanely complex topic. What government action could you not pretend to justify using that logic? Do you think any government actually sees t

IMO, the author should question their strong desire to juxtapose themselves with more junior developers rather being rankled by their different take on the same subjective labeling system on a self-marketing platform. Signed, CTO of this HN

Sadly, you should disabuse yourself of the notion that our government will only use these powers in our best interest by looking at COINTELPRO, manufactured evidence for invading Iraq, mass incarceration based on nonviolent crimes, surveill

These things seem great for casual use, but not trustworthy enough for archival work, for example. The world needs casual-use tools, too, but there are bigger impact use cases in the pipeline. I'd love for these things to communicate w

I mean, that's the reason they can't ask for one , but I'm more interested in the reason why the FCC said they can't ask for one. Is it because of pointless administrative gridlock? If so, good on them for finding a w

There’s no need for more regulation— this is working as intended. It will all be worked out by the checks and balances inherent to modern American capitalism. That is, when the banks’ balances are low, the government writes them huge checks

Sure: you could just have a list of links with the text "click here" that you hover over to see the url, too. If you haven't worked in the BEAM world those terms packed into a URL might not grab your attention enough to tri

Your turn-of-phrase highlighted an interesting point, for me: a lot of that money will pay for a lot of electricity and other energy. Much of it literally goes up in smoke! I still don't intuitively factor in the real, physical, non-re

Surely if it's a rule there's a reason behind it, no? I imagine I'd care about avoiding whatever negative impact the rule was mitigating. But when rules become an end rather than a means to an end, there's no clearer sep

The photos only seem to show that there wasn't a 'standing' tower there. Maybe it fell and not enough people listened to notice the drastically degraded signal, and the owners just didn't care? I don't really get th

During a nuclear attack? Don’t be so cynical. I’d be shocked if military leadership failed to anticipate and preemptively address that problem. I’ve never served, but based on my experience working in other parts of the US government, I’ll
