Somehow clicking through these profiles makes me feel uncomfortable. Why does everything have to become some kind of public popularity contest.

There have been quite a few free speech hosts around. A while ago I tested out MediaOn(.com). Straight forward process. You just need some free email host and snailmail the fees in as cash.

And rightfully so! I would love to see more websites offering a no-frills version for older browsers, mobile browsers, smaller screens, etc. Once I know that a site provides a specific value to me I really don't care about design and usabil

Since you are already turning this into a partisan politics meme spouting bash fest, I just wanted to point out that Obama paid last year a 18.4 percent tax rate [1]. [1] http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/13/us-obama-taxes-idU...

Thanks for pointing that out! Didn't really know about that. Going to pitch in. Would love to see it more focusing on trolling and the culture of lulz. But if it has to be on the serious side, that's good enough for me to support them.

Does anyone have some research links on analysts/opinion leaders and their hype cycles? I remember Nouriel Roubini bashing Gold on Twitter like never before all of the sudden starting about two weeks before the gold "crash". The whole thing

This summarizes the whole argument quite well. Apparently kintamanimatt and I share the same level of disgust for people who try to create privacy-invading technologies.

I personally would find a documentary about weev/Auernheimer much more interesting. I'd throw some decent money at that, just because listening to his mixture of genius and craziness is utterly entertaining.

Difficult subject. But it seems save to suspect that there are "some" inconsistencies in the story. Debka had another take on the situation: http://debka.com/article/22914/The-Tsarnaev-brothers-were-do...

I'm not really sure why it is big news that content copyright holders have automated DMCA scripts running. Sure, there should be some compensation for false DMCA take downs, but this story is just surfing on some artificial wave of rage aga

* justifiable "deserved" fortune to any one person* Very disappointing to see those kind of entitlement discussions around here. Who are you to tell others what they deserve? If he/she/it founded a project that is so solid, so engaging, so

Whatever Kurgman says, it is good to keep in mind that he is an economist turned partisan-politics hack. Whatever he looks at, he looks at it from his lens of ideological reasoning. His ideology clearly aligns with the status quo of economi

There's an idea taught by marxist academics that being white means living life on "easy mode"[1]. A lot of people on hacker news believe it because there is a high level of average education on HN. Marxist Academics believe x. Hacker news

But doesn't that make a "study" like this just a sugarcoated lie? Arguing that something is true because it is too difficult to research the subject properly seems just wrong on so many levels. I find research ideologies like this at its ve
