In an immediate sense, no, it doesn't matter why. But in a broader sense, it does. If it's a temporary automatic block, that has different implications for who you protest against than if it is a manual block put in at the behest

Has anybody tried asking Facebook why they've done this? Possible reasons: 1. One or more governments (which ones?) have told Facebook to block Tor or else. (Or else what?) 2. A manual security review revealed more hacking attempts via

Haskell's record system (analogue of C's structs) has two major deficiencies. 1. Modifying a record value (that is, making a copy of a record value but with different values in one or two of its fields) is unnecessarily complicate

No, the list of instructions at the start of the post indicates that you can create an account like miles.standish@gmail.com even if there is already an account like milesstandish@gmail.com. If that is not what you mean, you should edit it

You're naive if you think women don't have these conversations face-to-face, without men's knowledge or consent. The differences here are the anonymity of the comments (making it harder to assess them for truth), and the wide

What advantage do connected lightbulbs have over connected lightbulb fittings? I can see that it's easier to deploy connected lightbulbs, but in every other respect (cost, configuration) I think connected lightbulb fittings would be be

Compulsory licensing of trademarks is a stupid idea. Patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc, are different things. (What do you mean by "etc"? Database rights? They should be abolished.) What's wrong with a patent being owned b

Terrorism is an important issue similar to how child abduction+rape+murder is an important issue: it's a serious crime in its own right and lots of people tend to freak out when it happens in their country. (n.b. Not true in all coun

If you think it is a problem that Microsoft is behaving like this, you shouldn't reward them by ending your article with a pre-order link for the relevant product. Edit: This is why disgraceful “controversial” behaviour doesn't di

https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Abridged_XSS_Prevention_Chea... suggests escaping a forward slash “as it helps end an HTML entity”. I do not understand this rationale.

Tar archives include filesystem metadata (e.g. permissions), which don't make sense if you're viewing it as a collection of cacheable resources, and omit http metadata (e.g. content types, e-tags) which it would be at least helpfu

The actual translation of the equation is > (1+ (exp (complex 0 pi))) #C(0.0d0 0.0d0) But you got > (1+ (exp (complex 0 pi))) #C(0.0d0 1.2246467991473532d-16) Which is not “precisely the same”. Hence my con

This is a terrible article. It is sensationalist. It is undated. When it finally gets round to quoting a scientist, the quote undermines the certainty in the headline: “[cannabis] may offer a new road to therapy against lung cancer”. It

Could you clarify what you mean by “moderator”, please? - an ordinary HN user who happens to have enough karma to flag stories; or - a superuser who can kill links [dead] unaided I'm not sure the latter exists.
