I think the above comment was written to the tune of "Jokingly trying to employ reverse-psychology to get Hacker News users to read literature" rather than serious. No one uses the term "free thinker" unironically.

This comment was in response to a comment that asked how this was forcing people into things. Regardless of how you see it, it's literally doing that. Sure, it may not be the most grievous occurence of it, but that doesn't change

Encouraging them to come to you when they see something suspicious or that's instructing them to do something is the solution to this problem, it doesn't seem likely that arbitrary censorship is the right solution. You'll get

If your children are young enough that they need a specific time to go to bed, why did you give them phones in the first place? Surely they'd be too young for them? It also seems very strange to deem not restricting information as ne

It's not just Trump. If you're interpreting their comment as satirical solely because of the reference to Trump, you're missing the point of my own. No one in charge of the United States has ever deserved that title, nor tr

On one hand, this is really ridiculous. On the other hand, it might lead to the next generation of children who kick their technical careers off by figuring out how to circumvent censorship and that despise the companies enforcing it. Maybe

"The Leader of the Free World" is such an unnecessary term. It started out as propaganda and hasn't gotten more true since about any POTUS.

I don't think so, hence the accusation of "Google-esq behavior" and such. They seem to be a concerned parent who's mixed up.

Floor Exchange usually happens seamlessly in most in-person conversations, but it can be a challenge over video chat, even in 2020. This is because (conventionally, at least) video chat doesn't really allow eye contact in a natural w

Steele has many comments I love in regards to APL! Unlike many, he still sees it as a great path. He's a fantastic example of someone who's competent enough that they have no reason to slander other languages.

Illinois & Missouri are states that look decent on paper, but both are doing poorly if you look at what's actually going on. The FCC's Broadband Map lies for half of the former and most of the latter.
