Your morality is not relevant to good journalism.

Regardless, revealing someone's real name is orthogonal to clicks or ad revenue.

This. HN is so entitled - I want the perfect thing, then complain about them trying to be sustainable.

I was at a peaceful rally in Seattle last night, and a bunch of cops kept closing in and started shoving people.

That's a good discussion, but improving the model and sustaining the institution are orthogonal. I do agree though that a lot of the problems are structural and systemic - that als…

News is not perfect, just like any other platform or business you use is not perfect. I think paying for news and not reading all of it are orthogonal. If you don't like curation, …

Do you ask for per-movie pricing from Netflix?

The different is that in the 90s, there was no clear evidence for pessimism about the future. The same is not true now. Standard of living for most Americans is actually bad right …

Seems like people in this thread want an E2EE alternative. May I mention https://standardnotes.org/ . It's a very well built notes app, cross-platform. The dev team makes really so…

I would recommend looking at Standard Notes. It's paid only but it's so worth it.

If this sets a precedent to sue say the telcos or banks or oil companies, I'm all for it.

I use ovh (although the tor network is saturated with ovh) and https://tor-relay.co ; literally takes 5 mins after vm is provisioned. Here's a giant list of hosts you can look into…
