True, if you ignore most of the relevant details it makes no sense. That's basically the case with anything in life.

One of the things I'm most thankful for is the fact that I grew up before cell phones were ubiquitous. And I honestly feel awful for children today, because they're all the unwitting subjects of a cruel experiment: What happens wh

Yeah, I get the feeling that we're hearing one side of a very two-sided story. Maybe she feels the need to vindicate herself since the court didn't, but it's making her look like a sore loser. And she's trying to poison

Wavestorms are great. If they included a pamphlet on surf etiquette for beginners, they'd be perfect.

Hacker News is no better than Reddit, it's just less noticeable because there's less transparency here. Edit: Can't even post now. Saying this place is "no better than Reddit" may actually be a little insulting to R

Because it happened almost immediately. HN has always had trigger-happy moderators who abuse their power to silence people they don't like, including PG himself. Just Google 'Hacker News Shadowban' sometime.

It also had the opposite of its intended effect. Millions of people had no idea Daily Stormer existed until GoDaddy, Google, and CloudFlare kicked them out. Each one only added to their growing pile of free publicity. I guess Google never G

That's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Many people would keep phones for several years if they weren't designed to be replaced after 2. Thanks to non-replaceable batteries, most phones will barely last half a day after 2 years. That w

I didn't know Daily Stormer existed until today. Now, I have a little less respect for the companies who terminated their services, and a little more curiosity about Daily Stormer. Congrats, you did nothing but give them free publicity
