Honestly they were probably too developer-friendly in the past. What other social network gives such comprehensive access via API that you can literally replicate the entire app in a third-party service? I'm not sure why any startup wo

It would be nice if HN had an all-around light moderation policy, with the sole exception that commenters who clearly haven't read the article and are debating with the title be barred from commenting for a certain period of time.

Perjury laws simply don't apply to those in power anymore. Wray. Sessions. Clapper. Until Congress decides to enforce the law pertaining to lying under oath, it's fairly clear that lying with impunity is permissible.

There's a big difference: Hitler had the capability to launch a successful aggressive war. Kim, without a doubt, does not. And no amount of military buildup will get him to equal footing with the Western powers poised to massively reta
