I'm glad your comment got vouch-rescued, mtgx, so that I can tell you that you have been shadow-banned, and almost all of your comments, except those that are rescued by vouching, are invisible to almost all HN readers (except those of

Hi, if you could stop spreading the lie that there is some magical distinction between a 'publisher' and a 'platform' that somehow limits what a business is legally allowed to do, I would really appreciate it, and I know

Every job is a bread-winner job. You think people labor out of the goodness of their heart? Everyone is trying to make a living.

I'm confused by this comment. How does your experience in a walkable neighborhood suggest that the school system in the parent commenter's unwalkable neighborhood is in any way at fault?

The point of getting rid of FPTP is absolutely not to “make a centrist third-party candidate likely to win”.

California doesn't have the highest poverty rate in the country. Not even close.

Do we really have to get this kind of reactionary BS in every single thread? Can it and enjoy the Bach, pal.

I’m the opposite of a libertarian. I completely support the civil rights act and the governments ability to compel businesses to provide service to members of protected classes. Donald Trump does not belong to a protected class. How is this

Donald Trump does not belong to any class protected under the Civil Rights Act.

It's not a "fallback", I'm pretty sure being a private company is their entire raison d'etre. And, you know, like the sign in every small-town diner says: “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.” Which is

Well, since it's Twitter's own platform, and they make the rules, they could just as easily ban someone simply because they don't like them. That's how owning things works.

I honestly don't understand why "world leaders" aren't banned as soon as they break the rules, just like anyone else would be. If I said even a tiny fraction of the things "world leaders" have said, I'd be

Read Notes on Camp. I’m certainly no expert on Theory, but a lot of stuff in there rang true to me. Also, be sure to read the linked Slate article if you haven’t. The title makes it sound like it’s going to be an anti-Sontag polemic, but it

I am not a bot or a shill, but I upvote the articles you're describing whenever I see them, because I'm very interested in public transit and urban planning and enjoy discussing alternatives to automobile-centric cities and lifest

I should also say that I didn't mean to sound so curt, and would have chosen my words more carefully if I'd known the author was here in the thread!

I use R a lot, and nothing in this post rings even the slightest bit true to me. This guy's use case for R seems to be very unlike almost anyone I've ever heard of. Towards the end of the article, when he's talking about how

I mean, sure, they can argue that, but legally they’re wrong. Legally, tax evasion is a crime, and the money they’ve stolen by not paying their taxes isn’t their money.

If it’s money that should have been paid as tax, it’s not their money. It’s stolen.

Dear mods, if anyone on the left said something as polarized as “socialist anti-cow climate nut job“, they’d get a personal reprimand from dang. Is that going to happen for this guy, or not?

Hehe, I think you've given yourself away as coming from Minnesota by referring to the Democratic party as "DFL". That's Minnesota's special homebrew Democrats! :)

There's an important point appearing about 2/3rds of the way into this article: Zürich was not always oriented towards public transportation, and was in fact much more car-oriented in the post-WWII years. It was conscious, intenti

I think a git repo makes a lot of sense, but it might be hard to get less-technical team members on board.

Not to mention that the guy who said that doesn't even live in New York--he commutes in from New Jersey!

This is a great idea, and would make sense in many other American cities.

Not sure why this was flagged. Noteworthy trees (tallest, oldest, last remaining, famously beautiful, etc) routinely get chopped down by vandals, apparently purely out of spite.

Really funny to see how this had been an overwhelmingly popular idea on Hacker News, until a progressive Democrat (and a woman!) voiced it, then suddenly many here have "concerns"
