I'm assuming there is a filtering function occurring at HN which means that high quality sources are being linked to more often than low quality sources. I think that's a reasonable assumption, and is why WSJ is getting linked to

If you're often running in to the WSJ paywall that means their content is often good, and they fund that content through subscriptions. Their competitors, who you're not running in to very often are not funded through subscription

Unfortunately it's not clear they will be around for all that much longer. The Lib Dems had a 'reform' bill that would have made the House of Lords largely elected. It failed only because the relationship with the Conservativ

This article has been knocked off the front page again :( The prior article was also administratively removed from the front page, even though it had a really high score https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8049813

IIRC when the other Malaysian Airlines plane went missing that went up on HN, and that was before all the 'hacker friendly' tracking technique stories.

Does anyone know why the MH17 story was kept off HN yesterday? I kept seeing it appear in new and then on the front page and then it would vanish. I guess admins were deleting it? Is there a policy reason why it isn't something 'g

I don't think UKIP 'pulled the strings of the law', I've read a lot of people say that they had visits from the police because someone (who was not famous or important) complained that they were acting in a socially inap

I don't know if there's a difference here between the US and the UK (I'm from the UK, like the Twitter person, I assume you may be in the US). I don't see how the police did not act peacefully. He would have had the opti

Could you please explain how it is not peaceful?

Doing something 'bad' because other people do bad things is not a good explanation. Why are /you/ doing it? Why do you think it is justified?

You seem to think that the number of times someone makes a carefully prepared public statement needs to be greater than one to determine what they think on the subject. I do not see how the logic follows there. That it's reported in th

It's not based on 'one news article', it's based on something Armstrong said (and planned to say) which is /reported/ in a news article.

I agree with the other comments that it would be 'nice' to warn them (and give them a 1 click unsubscribe)... but most companies (in the UK) allow you to sign up to free trials online but to unsubscribe you have to call them. I pr

Perhaps... but does it not seem rather a little odd that someone so knowledgeable about security who had Forward Secrecy on before would now /accidentally/ get a new certificate without it? This doesn't make sense, he would h

Presumably the court might interpret that as equivalent to destroying the evidence they're seeking? Maybe if he destroyed everything apart from the one user account they claim they want access to?

The new certificate does not offer Forward Secrecy https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=liberty.lavab... Does this not mean that the NSA could patiently log all the traffic going in and out of the site over t

Am I missing something here? The reason they use this non-standard 30 pin connector rather than a standard USB connector is because their connector /does a lot more/. Looking at a pin-out table, it seems it also does (or can do) video (comp

The Lib Dems have a reputation for saying whatever people want to hear, and it was suggested before the election that they would turn around when they were in power. I didn't think so so I voted for them, but I've now learned the error of m

Even "Tory suggestion" is quite misleading. Something relating to reducing the protection of workers against dismissal was suggested in a report by someone to the Tories.

The original claim made was "If tory policy is even more insane (scrapping all employment law, anyone* ?)", "* - no, really, from one of Cameron's advisers." According to the article this was never Tory policy, so that is false. The Huffing

Do you have a citation for the claim that 'scrapping all employment law' was a Tory policy? Or do you mean that it was the viewpoint of one advisor (and so not Tory policy), or even that one advisor said something that might be construed in

This sounds a bit suspicious to me - saying that the Lib Dems are the good guys who are tempering the bad policies of the Conservatives, but as it's all done in secret we can't see how good they are. The Lib Dems pledged to oppose tuition f

True, but surely the reason is not that there are no religious believers who have applied rational processes to the question of whether there is a God (or gods) and have concluded that there is - but rather that the scientific method is a m

Of course not. But it does show that there intelligent rational people who are at the top of their field (science) do not believe them to be incompatible.
