Rachel's posts would be so much more useful if she would just say what she meant, instead of twisting everything into knots to find a way to say it backwards so she can be sarcastic and condescending while doing it. I'm sure there

Let's say I want to donate $100 to IA. Here's how I do it now: 1. Go to https://archive.org/donate/ in any browser, on any device. 2. Click "$100", click "Donate", enter credit card info.

Cloudflare's business lost them over $100 million last year alone. The way they operate right now is not a viable business, and we have no idea what they will change when they need to become one.

No, that's not how a left join works. You really shouldn't act so condescending when you clearly don't even have a solid understanding of the basics yourself. That's a perfectly reasonable query that would run in less th

What exactly makes that "one of the worst-performing SQL queries you've ever seen"? It has two left joins on foreign/primary keys, and 4 trivially-indexed where conditions. That's all it has, and none of that is eve

Why is a single tweet that doesn't say anything of substance getting upvoted? What value are people getting out of this?

This is just rewriting the info from the EFF report, without even doing them the courtesy of linking to it: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/01/ring-doorbell-app-pack... Discussion from yesterday (same repo

And now the HN mods have flagged this comment as off-topic, which causes it to be collapsed by default for all viewers of this thread. Everyone needs to specifically click the [+X] on it to even be able to read it. Regardless of that, it se

Please stop with this kind of garbage content on HN. If you want to read random people bitching on Twitter, just use Twitter.

If this site starts getting any traction, you're going to get destroyed by lawyers and copyright infringement claims, so I hope you're prepared for that. outline.com does basically the same thing, but they've had to exclude m

What's the point of making an accusation like this without naming the users?

The image (which is basically the whole "article") even has a Budget Direct watermark on it. It's still blatant blogspam, whether the person/site doing it is well-known or not.

A meme-style image from cheezburger.com near the top of HN. These truly are the end times.

It's also suspicious that the page's title says $100 Million, and the headline says $75 Million. A bunch of the meta tags also say "$100" (without any "million"). Proof seems necessary when they obviously chang

I hate this pervasive attitude that paywalls are some sort of annoyance that sites just "hastily slap on" for no reason. They do it because the subscription is how they make money, so that they can pay people to write all those a

All laws start out as simple concepts. Then they need to be applied to reality, where very few situations are simple.

A comment like this being upvoted and responsible for a large portion of the "discussion" on the language creator's goddamn retirement announcement makes me embarrassed for this community. Keep the pointless bickering over

A bunch of non-lawyers taking a tiny chunk of law in isolation and speculating about whether something "seems illegal" based on it is really, really useless. And this HN thread is just going to be even more of that.

Spend less time in incel communities. You're falling for baseless propaganda written and spread by depressed people looking for a way to "rationally" blame others for their unhappiness and self-perpetuating loneliness.

List three examples of government shows of force that were successfully foiled by armed civilians. Should be trivial if you believe it happens regularly.

Somehow rachelbythebay links always seem to jump to the top of HN, no matter how banal they are. I never understand it. Not being able to get the specific type of free iced tea that she wanted annoyed her so much that she saved an email abo

Probably because it's a bit ridiculous for some random guy that set up a website to suddenly declare that he's going to solve this complex international legal issue.

Because people upvoted it and that's how HN works.

Why do so many people think "just rewrite it in Rust" makes sense to post on every single topic about a dynamic language, even though nobody ever does it because it doesn't actually work in reality?

If this goes like The Boring Company reveal a couple of months ago, I expect them to show off a 640x480 CRT monitor.
