Is there a paywall bypass for this? I wish HN would ban links that require payment/registration.

Reasonable minds lost this battle already. Cancel everything, burn all the books, this is the new way.

Does the average person here actually have a NYT subscription? Their paywalls are awful and I’m not sure why they end up here.

It sounds pretty awful to me also, so I appreciated their analysis. You’re saying I’d have to pay a tax on every trade I (newer retail investor) make? How in possible hell does that help anything?

Your suspicion, and you’re baseless assumptions about the “demographic” of several million Reddit users, sounds a lot like “magical thinking” without any evidence to offer.

It’s really creepy how you just compare WSB to a group that half the country considers “supporters of terrorism” or literal terrorists. This is the “magical thinking” to me. The original GME investment groupthink (Reddit always works this w

Overlap between which world views? Are you saying between the short sellers’ world views and WSB’s? I have a feeling that a lot of the people on WSB actually work on Wall Street and are just on their phones at work. There seem to be some ex

That seems like sound logic to me. GME has been a vortex this week sucking up value from the rest of the market. Seems smart for the next few days/week at least until we learn otherwise.

Next maybe we can just ban Hacker News. I’ve heard some people there _actively promote_ making it harder to censor things on the internet.

They’re trying to unwind Signal from phone numbers. Also who uses SMS anymore?:)

by rzz3 6y ago
There is no battle, one employee may have left. Also this is completely horrifying. Signal with a content policy?! It’s end to end encrypted. Wtf are people trying to do here.

Legitimate large corporations are actively putting in effort to make sure apps don’t contain the word “ass” in their descriptions? What the actual fuck. What parent cares if their kid sees the word “ass”?

Cloudflare could fix that. Governments can’t just blacklist Cloudflare either.

I’m not sure that would be a solution. And frankly, if we did that, I’m sure the majority of people would want to quickly ban the things they don’t like. And that’s certainly not what I want to do (the deplatforming), so I don’t see it as a

In a way it does bother me. To be honest, it’s often lost on me. I get caught up in the day to day aspects of work, and only when things like this pop up do I really think about the societal implications. But I do truly care about these lar

I think it’s important to remember that democracy and freedom are not synonyms. I’m not such a fan of the former these days.

As someone who works in “big tech”, I don’t think we should have this power, especially when so selectively and reactively applied. We’ve all already heard all of the debates and I don’t wish to rehash it all. I’ve heard a lot of great argu

If we go back to October-November, we also had a major newspaper banned from Twitter for weeks for posting a story critical of Hunter Biden with an implication that Joe Biden may have been involved in some type of corruption.

With all due respect though, it’s not YouTube’s job to decide what’s appropriate for your kids, and there’s a big difference between what’s appropriate for children and what’s appropriate for the rest of us consenting adults to watch.

So you’re saying it’s fine for only certain ideas to be able to be broadcast to the world? Forget the government’s role in it, I’m not talking about that whatsoever. I mean, philosophically, are you okay with a small number of companies con
