Nope, I'm saying they fabricated their own scenario that none of the documentation actually backs up. Maybe you should read it too.

What is nuance and actually reading what these titles say? It's all written out for you and there's no contradiction. Also, no one actually uses the disrupt point like that.

It's not hard to make an edit a day. It's a daily activity for editors like me to come home and wind down by quickly going through our watchlists and reverting any vandalism. I have 11k articles on mine and I wouldn't even sa

It's not hard at all to be able to edit these articles once you make an account and takes a bare minimum of effort. See one of my earlier comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16582767

Yeah it's like putting music on in the background while you're doing something. You won't actually be paying attention to the lyrics or the notes that much compared to actively listening to a song.

If that's the case, wouldn't it make more sense to equip them with off-road bikes with features like a suspension, larger tires, multiple gears, panniers to hold bags, and other features than to give them heavy bikes built for rid

I remember reading somewhere that so many people donated t-shirts to Africa that it devastated their local textiles industry. You can't just throw money (or garbage in this case) and expect it to magically fix underlying issues such as

When people first learn a piece of software, they expect rival software to work exactly the same way or their brain instantly dismissed it. It happened to me when I switched from Windows to OSX, nothing was like how I expected and I had to

"Features" like these are actually worse than useless because they give users a false sense of security.

We get an article like this every week. Wake me up when any of these miracle solutions actually get put into practice. I'm still waiting for those graphite batteries btw.

You hear this train of thought a lot: "X country shouldn't have nukes". So why do people say a specific country "deserves" nukes while others don't? Why does the U.S. get nukes while it got to invade Iraq under

I don't think rationality is the top priority for suicidal people. And I don't care how much you mulled on it or how many black friends you have so you can't possibly be racist—flippantly calling someone with mental health is

Ahh yes, nothing more respectful or justified than smugly calling a deceased person who had mental health issues a "psychopath" while you barely knew anything about them or their personal issues.

The fact that it was a "simple typo" makes me sure there was more to it than that because no one would revert that if it were so. It's likely that it was something you saw as a typo such as the spelling of colour vs color.

I doubt someone literally said "you have to ask me first". One thing I've noticed in every thread on Wikipedia on HN is that no one has the faintest clue about what admins do [0], and what's going on when they're tr

When pages are locked, they're not limited to only admins (who I'm assuming you are referring to by "moderators"; otherwise, any user can undo an edit, and it doesn't require an account). There are several levels of

This guy doesn't even know how to program. Some exec probably bamboozled his gullible self and now he's trying to making an ass of himself in headlines.
