Well you could be right. His stock comp for 2013 was $40m. That was the scrappy year. The point is that instead of cutting the travel and entertainment budget for the whole company it would have been a lot more effective to simply show Pich

Pichette got a 56-million-dollar payout just for quitting. That was shortly after the “scrappy” year.

The article is about bringing transparency to HN operations. To allow what I believe to be a factually inaccurate statement by one of the operators just stand as the last word is against the spirit of the discussion.

This is not accurate based on my testing. If I browse to HN while logged in to my account from the affected network, that account can never post properly again.

I don’t know if you were here long enough to experience the range of promotion processes, but only the lowest levels of tech promotions are based on individual contributions and ability. To reach “senior” grade, the lowest career grade at G

I have a few Busch & Mueller lights I like. To my knowledge only Peter White Cycles sells them in US.

I would like to see American magazines taking a more critical look at these lights. Like virtually all bike front lights sold in the USA, the Garmin UT800 has a circular beam, making it pretty much useless for anything. Proper bike lights

I agree that we should just build social housing and give it away until housing/land is worthless, and universal free health care has obvious utility, but for everything else just giving away money is a lot more effective. Suppose you

You’re not really comprehending what I am saying. If I create an account, never post or comment, and just browse HN from the IP in question, that account will be banned. It has nothing to do with behavior.

If you want to ban some IP, just serve 403 to that IP. Deleting all of the accounts of people who like to order toast and eggs in the morning at the same place is what makes no sense.

Actually I didn’t say that. The phenomenon in question has nothing to do with where the account was registered. The accounts get banned if I just browse to HN from that cafe. The first account that got banned that way was years old and had

I mention it because the article says shadowbanning is rare. It’s not that rare if they’ve got some kind of stored procedure that just goes around doing it.

Well only one at a time. Then as each gets banned I make another one. Note that they get banned if I just visit HN from the IP in question no posting required.

Article doesn’t mention what I believe is one mod tool: shadow banning accounts based on IP. I had a bunch of accounts get shadowbanned for no evident reason and after a while I deduced it was based on using the account from a particular ca
