   those are two very different points. the first depends on what you consider "worthwhile". for example i think the advertising industry could disappear without detriment to society. but agreed on the second point, as long as there

   indeed many people are biologically wired to be "night owls"; it's a well established individual difference in the psychology literature: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10849238

   cuz a kid doing 112 is fine? it seems like a bit of a straw man to me. but volvo is known for making the safest cars on the road and this continues that trend/perception

   well yes, the genius is that the ads on the google page are virtually indistinguishable from actual results. is that better or worse?

   have heard every one of those arguments, both in the city and in the countryside. here's another one: my neighbour complaining about my bike being locked to the outside of the house: "get a car like every other adult"

   to friends and family of loved ones in similar situations -- dont hesitate to say anything you need to say to them. dont live with regrets. and to friends and family of their caregivers, dont underestimate how hard this is for them too. the

    what moz should really be doing is removing captchas from websites, not the captcha-bypass add-ons ;)

    ive also seen the reverse: a VP makes the request and it is never questioned if you value your job. the answer is always, "yes sir"

    i should clarify: i dont think google is snooping at enterprise data when there are proper agreements in place -- my comment was only that there is a difference in privacy impact between MS and google i cant share the PIA of my own enterp

    the answer is basically wrong. robots can and do. captcha has become an AI training tool and it now blocks humans as a consequence. the convenient side-effect being a nudge to those humans to change their behaviour in such a way as to nev

    op only cites it as an example. but there is empirical evidence -- MS holds enterprise market-share even for products google is otherwise competitive in, and privacy impact is absolutely one of the reasons

    thanks for the detailed comparison (and laughs in #sillyness)! like it so far :)

    agreed; i think its also probably exacerbated in certain cases due to the small (single?) qty of moderators on hn (ie strong potential bias); similar issues happen on wikipedia, where subject matter experts occassionally butt heads with edi

    so what differentiates it from hn? it looks much like a clone to me

    lots of things exist without mass appeal: hn, brussel sprouts, speedos, etc. the real reason free speech forums don't exist isn't because "nobody" would use it. i suspect its merely the safest thing to do legally. nobody

    i could just as easily say, "almost no one wants a hacker discussion forum". "hackers" are a small subset of society. it's fine for hn to exist and cater to this group, right? yet here, humor, satire, and a variety

    no, no, i am not making such a strong claim -- i absolutely agree in the differences you cited b/w canada and mexico. although im hesitant to generalize so much about a region; taken to the extreme, your argument is something like, &qu

    anybody know of communities that dont excessively moderate or censor? tildes looks interesting but the founder says, "it will also never be described as anything like "an absolute free speech site". i would love to find a com

    i didnt say anything about mexico. im replying to someone who says there arent parts of canada or sweden comparable to mexico. well this is ignorant. look up missing and murdered aboriginal women. does that count as violence to you? because

    how is op saying "almost anywhere" has the same issues? canada and sweden have issues too. talk to many aboriginals?

    another early one was the lack of censorship and freedom of speech. no place like that exists at the moment. i always associated the freedom of speech and hacker culture together, but sadly that no longer seems true (ex even here on hn it

    well for one you also need to blacklist the aliases, ex. guerillaclick+sdf@gmail.com, and i suspect sysadmins start showing more hesitation when you need to start pattern matching (risk of false positives and additional overhead)
