    Their allegations don't explain volpacolypse though, which is the really interesting and somewhat of a gray swan scenario. Also, those rumors (people manipulating VIX near expirati…

    I totally understand your points of sometimes the point justifies the attention grabbing. But I also think that other measures might be worth taking other than flaming - like I oft…

    I am not saying that he is not correct or that he is wrong in trying to enlighten Felipe, I just think he could have been more respectful. If his explanation of his reasoning and l…

    I was in no way saying that it was the victim's fault. I just don't think that Kickstarter should be on the receiving end of a lot of criticism until we get the full story from the…

    I don't think that it is necessarily fair to be extremely critical of Kickstarter. I think that we should consider the viewpoint of the respondent to her, he probably thinks that s…

    What an incredible farce, although such talk of this mystical 'Joe' intrigues me.

    I think that you are correct in many ways: It addresses the point of people being afraid to express themselves because there is almost always a large mass of objects to pin - so yo…

    I agree 100% that you should receive a notification that your account is blackholed. After reading this and still being new to HN I am a tad terrified now that I might one day be b…

    I love using Grooveshark and would HATE to see this happen. This would be even worse than when they started playing the loud video ads that would keep cycling.
