How much does the NSA pay for this?

I’ve been pointing for years to the fundamental rhetorical problem of wikis — that making the link target and the link label the same, as Ward’s Wiki did, moves all links to nouns and noun phrases with disastrous impact on the link structu

Many HN readers are guilty of contributing to this problem. Instead of complaining about the site having a naughty word in the name, you should be quiet and rethink what you've done.

The free rider problem would probably come in to play and make that impractical. But with two, both pilots must pedal or the craft would experience a gentle decent to the ground.

This article makes me want to hyperventilate into a paper bag. I can't imagine what the execs namedropped think of the idea.

It's worthwhile if it can be blogged about. EA might take real action to prevent a wave of small claims cases. You may already have given up the right to a class action in the EA ToS.
