I don't think anyone cares about what candaians who think they are Americans believe simply because they live nearby. As subjects of the King, canadians have no understanding of liberty, nor the founding principles of the American nati

Have you tried crying about the fact that you are getting traffic to your website that nobody would see otherwise? I hope daddy government treats you well. Count on Big Brother to save you, and they will beat you down when it's time as

As you can see from Mussolini's own writing on the Doctrine of Fascism, they hate individualism, and love the State. >7. Against individualism, the Fascist conception is for the State; http://www.historyguide.org/eur

It's a big holiday weekend in America, and having an outage seems like a minimal inconvenience, especially for those of us without an account. There are entire communities of people who relied on the ability to simply read Twitter with

Thanks for weighing in with some actual first-hand knowledge. It is appreciated. The latest on cloud hosting is from a week ago, and I'm guessing you don't have any more recent info than this: https://www.reuters.com&#x

His claim is that there are a few hundred scrapers causing issues, which makes sense given the recent changes to the paid API. An assumptions of good faith was once a well-held principle on this website, and it's too bad legacy media h

I think you might benefit from reading HN comments about Twitter from ~2010. You will find many you agree with, yet Musk had zero to do with the service.

Twitter could've simply announced they were going into maintenance mode for the weekend, and most people would've taken the hint about reduced availability. Many of us privacy freaks were content accessing via Nitter, and had no u

That's why none of the explanations given can possibly be thorough, and I'm finding very few plausible explanations on HN either. Most seem to be happy to blame whoever they view as their opposing team, which rarely leads to wisdo

This is quite a ridiculous blog post. Hyperbole is way too common these days, and this is the type of submission that drove away many of the smartest HN users. I will always remember when I first learned about bitcoin here in 2010 when the

People say Twitter is not real life, then you proffer 4chan as real life. Touch grass, my friend. I went from pharma research (my degree) to tech to the restaurant world. We use lots of hand gestures because the environment is loud. The hi

Without digging, I'm guessing you thought Musk was just doing a 'pump and dump' when the news broke in April, and that he would never acquire the company. This assumption of bad faith is just terrible for HN, and the fact tha

Twitter acquired and shutdown Vine, Periscope, and Posterous (what could've been substack) among many others. They seemed rather complacent and uninterested in innovation, or even profits. I have no sane explanations for the management

by 18pfsmt 4y ago
Your entire first comment was an assumption of bad faith on the part of Musk. Given that Twitter is now a private entity, there's no motivation to act fraudulently. I think Musk's track record merits at least a few quarters of ac

I've got no problem with your characterization of Carlson, but do you honestly believe Blitzer is an objective arbiter of truth? I don't, and I think this myth among so many in "news" media has done more to misinform peo

The question, as always, is who watches the watchmen? We saw what happened with broadcast and telecom regulation for phone and radio/tv in the USA. ABC, CBS, and NBC held a virtual monopoly until cable news 60 years later. AT&T&#x2

I use a desptop RSS reader to this day to keep of numerous podcasts. I wonder if people realize that podcast feeds are RSS. Even Spotify, and some other proprietary networks. Google still maintains Feedburner too, if a bit lazily.

One only need look at Sweden and their results. They took minimal action, allowed the youngest to remain in school w/o masks, and only canceled large events. We are now starting to see the all-cause mortality stats and they are proving

Given that one of Fauci's emails shows the same opinion on mask inefficacy, I believe the lie came in the 180 about face claiming they do work (and there wasn't any cost to imposing them).

I think HN is more likely to have overlap with Mastodon and other federated networks. Most of us that seem to be arguing in support of Parler are really just worried about arbitrary and authoritarian approaches to content moderation and inf

As a big proponent of the free market, I think the problem stems from "sometimes free market." Also, it seems that these moves by tech companies are acting in unison (Apple, Google, Amazon) to the satisfaction of one political par

As a free market fundamentalist that usually gets massive pushback, I'm having trouble believing that most people making this argument normally promote free markets. It certainly seems politically slanted in a single direction. Either
