Related, albeit of a different nature, a pretty classic LinkedIn tactic now are connection requests seemingly from relatively attractive young women (at least when targeting men. A similar ruse is using age-correlated female from names when

No, it didn't "go over my head", though if that notion gives you more comfort, have at it. You brought up an absurd anecdote that is baseless and has zero applicability to this issue, but that you think props up your notion.

You specifically called for people to post negative reviews. How can someone review something they've never experienced? Regarding the other reviews being disingenuous or skewed, note that this policy only apparently applies and has ev

The title has been changed to the title the original author used, which seems appropriate. Titles have a context (which the author considered when they chose it). That context doesn't exist when it sits enumerated on the HN front pag

At risk of sounding cynical, I would find an entry titled "The Medium Blog Entry" even more compelling. It is a platform made for entries to be authored quickly and cheaply. The droll full-page lead image sets it apart, the color
