I suppose the charitable argument for banning would be: it pollutes Twitter without extending any conversations or bringing anybody joy per se. Basically it's spam. Certainly on HN that person would/should be banned right away (wh

So much of what you said was false and "not even wrong" that now, when you're saying some things that are true, people are downvoting you as a crazy crank.

Not really. For a civil servant, it was a fraction of a month's salary before and it's a fraction of a month's salary today. That fraction is double-ish what it was, but it's still merely a chunk or two of an average per

This would work great as an AR overlay, auto-suggesting one's next sentence in a conversation, so that it sounds more sane and confident. With enough training and refinement, we might be able to get the % of original untweaked human ut

Well they can’t very well call them “Github users”. That’s off brand when building an identity-oriented community. “Hubbers” are “people like us”, who hub the way we hub.

I don't agree that having to become a freedom-fighter in foreign countries should be a necessary condition for me to continue to be allowed as a customer of a domain name / hosting business.

I will not trust Namecheap with my domains or hosting again. Based on direct comments here on HN from their CEO, at any time they might cut off my service without notice for having been born in a country they don't like, or for having

This is useful! How does one learn "you can make links or forms submit but not cause browser navigation by having your server respond with a 204" without reading it in an offhand comment on HN? I mean the status code can be looked

This is a tone-deaf comment. All of us who otherwise agree with your position and support it: you are alienating us. I have friends and acquaintances who fled, or stayed and had their eardrums blown out by flash-bangs at protests. My friend
