Yes, I should have added that I see nothing wrong with the replacement of key with keystone here. Not sure what the big issue is. I was just surprised that someone who does object to it assumes a HN posting has been deliberately crafted to

Your linked Washington Post article was published on 8th July. It's actually a good demonstration of the animosity towards Assange in the corporate press. It wasn't published in response to the major Sundin story (26th June) which

That's been my experience too, as well as encountering a lot of legacy HTML markup without many useful class/id attributes. The random values are likely result of modern build tools like the one you mention, but there's also

Very nice! I work on Feed Creator - https://createfeed.fivefilters.org - which is similar, although unlike yours doesn't use a headless browser, so selecting Javacript-inserted elements isn't supported.

Yes, FeedBurner does this[1], and we do it too with Full-Text RSS[2]. The feeds should render as a regular webpage in your browser, but if you view source on those feed URLs, you'll see regular RSS output (XML), but they both contain X

You're implying this is a minor development. It's really not. Edward Snowden said: "This is the end of the case against Julian Assange." https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1408847450656415751 I
