Similar criticism of Huffington Post or Rachel Maddow would not make frontpage, I'm sure. That is the deal here in HN though. Live with the bias. (I notice the op changed the title, so this now probably makes little sense.)

I have to admit my heart almost stopped when I thought that Thomas Dolby, one of my favorite musicians, had passed away. I caught his tour recently. Really good! Ray Dolby is the Dolby though. Very few in the history of Earth have done so

Thanks for the advice, but I don't know that I'd place all my eggs in a basket affected by the politics and distance of the Federated States of Micronesia. That's the problem with domains these days. Yay we're using a Li

I'm glad you said this, because it was the reason I stopped also. I'll give it another try at home. However there are a lot of times at work where having search results relevant to me is essential. Since DDG is all about not being

It's neat and useful but having text sometimes scroll under other text is going to be disorienting for some. Personally, though I like that it will be an option, I don't want it in my pages. For documentation it just gets in the w

Backstabbing happens everywhere, unfortunately. The main problem with MS was that it was too profit driven for too many years instead of trying to do what was best for the users. Making profit eventually has a direct correlation to providin

The best way to stop making people sign up is to have a universal authentication method that is trusted and used by everyone . I don't believe we'll see a good one in our lifetime. But, that would stop an involved sign-up process
