Flagged as a dupe. This was already posted earlier today.

We at Hacker News do not have a sense of humor that we’re aware of.

Yeah, and it looks like the OP is just using it to post religious flamebait comments. If I wanted Reddit I’d be over there.

As far as "third party service shouldn't be necessary", is it that different from getting the TV Guide in the 80s or 90s to find out when a show was going to be on TV?

Indeed. And “We don’t care, we don’t have to” is a good summary of Google as well.

It’s not actually a rule that every HN thread has to start out with negative bullshit. You can just think it’s cool they found a new tomb!

Don’t feed the trolls.

I’d prefer to pay up front to buy the product, the way everything was sold up until around 2012, and not have a “subscription” scam.

Unfortunately the EU has written USB-C into law, so there will never be a USB-D. I guess we should be glad they didn’t do this 30 years ago, or we’d still be using PS/2 connectors.…

There were lots of very in-depth UI studies in the 90s, which were implemented in the second half of the 90s and early 00s. Then someone let “designers” in the door and it was all …

One great genre of HN comment is where people insist subscriptions are the only way a software business can work, as if commercial software sprung into existence fully formed in 20…

This is what HN is now, sadly.

Netcraft confirms it.

Yes, I remember, I had lasagna.

The article is about a marketing data breach, not passwords.

It’s always great when years of medical and scientific studies are instantly debunked by HN’s top JavaScript developers. One wonders why we even bother having research universities…

Maybe you should have looked it up before posting?

TVs were unsubsidized by ad tech up until 10 years ago, and I’m pretty sure most people bought TVs back then.

Pretty easy. 1) Have a phone number with an area code from a place you haven’t lived since 2004 and nobody legitimate would ever call you from. 2) entirely block that area code. Th…

> ununionized Wouldn’t that just be “ionized”?

“Suddenly”? Remember all the “net neutrality” bullshit years ago that was all about begging the government to regulate the Internet? This has been going on since the early 00s prob…

Hope all your programs are written in machine code. Wouldn’t want to be proud of compiler output.
