Remember when Stormfront was a thing? Remember how everyone cheered on that CF and others banned them? I’m sure Herman was one of the loudest ones to proclaim victory that day. Hostility and insidiousness were created by you for not standin

Do we shift over everything to le Dark Web and let the corpos use this one for selling their shit to consumers? These toys don’t want to play nice and there’s no real way to stop them without bringing in things like Real ID and other verifi

I think the OP is suggesting using a caching layer at HTTP output, and suggesting CF as an option (a quick/cheap one). If you have an axe to grind with CF you can take it up with them, but it’s an option. Feel free to suggest others.

I appreciate the work but as someone who grew up playing these games and quake and blood and all those novalogic titles, it was never about the graphics. They were just fun. In a sense the pastiche nostalgia reminds me of the 80s retro boom

This isn’t true and hasn’t been true fifty years ago either. A handful of the most well-known books regarding getting wealthy and having a high status were written almost a century ago. The practice of wealth accumulation was already establ

What’s the relation between Journalism, Facts and Truth? I’d like a three-way Venn diagram to understand if there are any overlaps.

Neither Assange nor Snowden are a threat anymore. They are contained and have next to no ability anymore. So it would be a waste of resources to pursue them. The lackeys (police etc) are all that’s needed here to harass them and make their

I moved our team from Backbone to Angular almost 6 years ago. I treasured BB on the fact that the entire source code can be read and understood by a junior developer, which made it appealing to me from an adoption perspective in our org, be

Remember back in the day when we just downloaded skin packs from some random Geocities website with obnoxious red text on black background and after going through the install.txt written in broken English/Italian, lo and behold your AK

I can understand the outrage in this thread but literally none of what you are all calling for will be done. No one from justice or law reads HN to see what should be done. I wish folks here would keep a cooler head rather than posting leng

Given the size of China’s internal economy I think they already know, just on their own, that they don’t need anyone else and any agreements with other countries are just cherries on top, because you can take Europe and fill a Chinese villa

This was true in the 90s if you were lucky enough to immigrate to China and work there for a bit. You would have seen it unfolding and the West would have been none the wiser, as they were fed with an outdated, short lived period of China w

Not a snark comment genuinely curious because I’m confused: is Scott Alexander a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist or some kind? Why would he be involved in something like this? Unless I’m confusing Slate Star Codex and this is a differ
