Getting the chance to play a Stradivarius instrument is a distinctive honor. You're at least going to be listening to a very well regarded musician. This isn't a bose vs beats kinda thing. This is a centuries old tradition.

Take a timeout, come back in 20 and reread your post. Is it really worth it to get so angry and malicious? And protip, if you're going to get this angry, don't post it. It makes you look nuts, and does nothing to anyone about how

That's just the base price if you do nothing. The costs increase when you actually store and query data.

For newly added posts you have to go to the "new" page and upvote from there. If you're passing around a link to the direct post to get upvotes you're assumed to be part of a voting ring and your votes are ignored with r

You are using "he" and "his" but the author is female, which has absolutely nothing to do with any of the points raised. Just pointing out an oversight.

The title for this link needs to be fixed. It's a question with some answers, and very few of the answers reflect the position stated in the title.

The thing about Medium though is that it requires you to have a beautiful large image for every post, otherwise it looks terrible. There are a lot of terrible looking Medium blogs with ugly pictures.

I thought tor was assumed. I meant with an incognito/private browser while using tor.

True, but allowing people to use BTC mixers is probably illegal. Even using one is probably illegal.

No that wouldn't work at all. You could thwart this just with an incognito browser and plugins disabled.

The author has a really high opinion of commenters on hacker news. I don't really think it's that high quality. There are all kinds of weird conspiracy theorists, uncritical guffaws and just plain obnoxious toxic commentary. I thi
