I don’t disagree, but is it such a bad thing to convey some empathy?

I am sorry to hear about all this and I am in agreement with you. It is also nice to have this perspective reflected on HN, so thanks

Is it just me, or is this typical HN elitism?

Having lived in Louisville, KY (location of UPS Worldport, where much of this shipping takes place) I can attest to the nightly takeoffs/landings every 30-60 seconds or so

Agreed. I had a nearly head-on collision at ~40-50mph. Both front airbags deployed and my car (1999 BMW 323i) was totaled, but I have no recollection of even experiencing any pain whatsoever. I just got up and walked away, and went to schoo

I prefer iMessage's "Delivered" notification and find it serves a nice balance between (a) confirming to me that the message was successfully received and (b) allowing the recipient privacy/flexibility.

How is clicking "unsubscribe" laborious? (Assuming, of course, the link is there, as it seems to be for most 'legitimate' spam)

I'm sorry to read about your loss, and I applaud your initiative. I believe a large part of the reason things like this happen is because the solution is so enormously complex. Developing the software tech (a undertaking in itself) is one t

I was on Reddit until 2am (EST) with no issues. Back on at 6:45am with no problem. Either they've been doing a wonderful job with mitigation, or I'm missing something (I suppose I did miss a few hours while sleeping...). If anything I figur

I'm a relatively new HN reader (~1 year) and have taken much away from my time here (much reading, few comments). I understand where you're coming from with concerns about quality; however, I resent the fact that I may be considered part of

Good for you, I encourage more to do the same. I interned for my Congressman on Capitol Hill a few years ago. In my opinion, volume calling is the best way to actually get heard. Web forms, emails, faxes: much less so. U.S. citizens, Contac
