Good question. Seems like people aren't using the flag function responsibly. I would like more transparency on this as well. It would be cool if the mods would add a required text box for stating the reason something is flagged. HN

When I was five years old, I made a little play-dough man by unbending paperclips, winding them together and wrapping the play-dough around the wires. I must have spent at least a half-hour on it. I went out onto my street and showed it t

Taking a stand should never be put on hold. Imagine if SO, HN, and Google, all put up a static homepage that said, "sorry, but our services will be unavailable until the Travel Ban has been rescinded." How long do you think it w

maybe it has more to do with an institutionalized focus on short-term financial gain, disregard for future generations, and either an unawareness of, or an unwillingness to observe, the precautionary principle.

Agree that Thiel is a fucking fool. But how much of a fool is he is what I want to know. Is he foolish enough to admit he was wrong? Somehow I doubt it. That's why it's so important to be careful around fools. It's not ju

Given all the hacking of US politics lately, I'd say they are very much on topic. Even sama is submitting political posts. Shit's been hitting the fan since October, as far as I can tell. I think we've all missed quite a

I suggest you do your own research. Download John Podesta's emails from WikiLeaks and look through them, and search for the words "pizza", "pasta", and "cheese". The legitimacy I see is that the words &q

How so? Why should faster-than-light travel imply a reversal of the arrow of time? Can you explain the reasoning?

Present day reality lives like a dystopian nightmare to me. Pretty sure I'm not projecting. (God I hope I'm not!) Global unity sounds to me like world peace. Maybe not every individual would be peaceful, but we could finally pu

I think "shame" is a really good word for what I'm feeling about my country's president-elect right now. As we slip further and further into the world described by George Orwell, I can only hope that those among us (her

Exactly. Every day that goes by w/out a proof-of-life from Assange adds weight to the theory that he is in fact no longer alive.

I for one am very concerned about the fate of Julian Assange, and would like to see evidence that he is still alive. If he is in fact not alive, that fact would trouble me greatly. I live in the USA, and while I am considering fleeing now
