Conspiracy theory nonsense. Welcome to Hacker News.

People keep wanting to make Basic Income a thing but it is never going to become a thing. It has some good ideas, but it's too radical for mainstream consumption. The Bernie Saunde…

"I live in a place where the echoes of tyranny and the heinous information-apparatus it depended on still ring throughout the land." But that place only exists in your head. It's n…

"a heinous apparatus has been constructed in order to control us all" Sorry, I don't think reasoned debate is possible with you, you're on the fringe extremes with your beliefs. Ho…

I'm not "part of the problem" because the problem you describe doesn't exist. Yes I read the Snowdon revelations, who didn't? He described some bad practices, which were extrapolat…

It actually boggles the mind that a 12-pixel image has more combinations than atoms in the universe (!!!).

"I am sure government will also target the Libertarians and anti-authoritarian people." This is a wild and extreme accusation with no evidence whatsoever. Welcome to HackerNews.

There seems to be a wholescale hysterical neurosis around the entire issue. The narrative on HackerNews is that every piece of electronic communication is monitored and stored. The…

"I fear that if I use the wrong words or visit the wrong websites, I'll trigger some automated system and will be put on some kind of watch list that will change my life" I'm afrai…

Why would Snowden get assurance from the the Norwegian government? There is nothing special about him.

If he's so courageous then why doesn't he ever criticise the corrupt totalitarian state of Russia? I really can't imagine why...

That is demonstrably nonsense, Jeremy Corbyn has among the lowest ratings ever seen for the leader of a large political party, because he is a far-left political extremist.

Download page says required MacOS 10.10, but working fine on 10.9 here.

Can anyone tell me which cloud provider they are using? I want to make sure that scrapinghub are on the list. I block the IP addresses of all the major cloud providers to prevent p…

Agreed, and the sluggish problem can't be solved because the Atom team chose a developer stack which benefited them, and not one which benefited the actual users of the software. T…

The 2 lists are "best of both worlds". We have the original list, which is what he actually thinks are the most important films. And we have the second list for those for whom gend…

I'm in the comments looking for an answer too.

Your suggestion that non-US people shouldn't have .com domains is a fringe-extremist position, and is likely to be ignored by most people. My business is on a .com domain and that …

Why make it require MacOS 10.10? It's not compatible with OSes over a year old? This is absurd developer laziness.

And so the "it's not real metal" arguing begins...

Welcome to HackerNews, where people actually believe that Sweden would extradite Assange to the USA where he would be executed. It's so braindead I can't even begin to respond.

It's not worth arguing with Assangers on HackerNews, it's like trying to argue with a Scientologist. Their beliefs are faith-based: facts and logic are of no interest.

You forgot to mention the rape stuff.

Why would "we" want Assange to go free? He's wanted for questioning on allegations of sexual assault.

I'm not. He's a clown who is hiding from being questioned on charges of sexual assault.
