It's funny, your comment reminds me of one of the first comments i ever made on HN that got highly upvoted. I made the opposite mistake, read the headline, assumed it was about actual whales, didn't read the article before posting

I wonder if the form of nicotine would make a difference. Many brands of cigarettes use a tobacco that's been 'enhanced' with freebase nicotine to increase addictiveness among other things but others do not and the amount of

I'm not going to bash this or anything, I see why people dislike the sponsor segments, it's advertising after all, but as someone who honestly could not afford to donate to every single channel I enjoy watching, I'm glad cont

Fair enough, that does make sense, still, they seem to show up in particular. I'm guessing there's many channels for children's music.

I'm honestly surprised the comments have been allowed to remain on for this video. At this point, they're kinda damned if they do, damned if they don't. Turning off dislikes and comments on the video would prove their hypocri

As utterly brazen, shameless and just completely and utterly unself-aware as this is, look on the bright side. A quick glance at the like/dislike ratio and comments shows, most people are not impressed with that kind of bullshit. Peopl

This isn't like 'wandering through a book store' at all. This is a bunch of best of lists written by authors. It's not even close to being comparable to wandering through a book store...this isn't even a new way to

Yes I do, specifically because it is a google product. I have no interest. More out of principle than any kind of real reason. I don't want to play any part in google getting its tentacles into yet another part of my computer. I know i

I don't think the images are a problem. Like the other commenter said i think it's the use of whitespace. The story feed seems quite narrow compared to hn. There's lots of deadspace to either side. I think you could increase

In Canada it was a little different than the US. We had some early animes that were actually dubbed up here you guys didn't have. We also had a totally different version of Dragonball up here originally. I noticed back then too, watchi

Not a big fan of the use of space compared to hn. On hn on mobile I can clearly see the headlines for 13 stories, on the automotive one, I get 6, meaning i have to scroll a whole page just to see as many stories as I can at a glance on hn.

Growing up, i was a lot like you. The stories, artwork and animation in a lot of those darker, more adult animes blew my mind. I remember the first time I saw Akira, like you when I was probably way too young, My mind just couldn't eve

I think some sites are weighted differently. More commonly posted sites require multiple votes for one point added. Less commonly posted sites require less upvotes for a point added. Or something like that anyway.

Then again, could be fun to screw with them a bit. I wonder what would happen if you just kept clicking I already bought this on everything that pops up. Or better yet, just write a script that clicks it every time one of those ads appears.

Not really no. The differences between distros are essentially rooted in philosophical beliefs defended by near religious zealotry. Entire identies are defined around the differences between distros. A bit of an exaggeration, but well...pre
