What is right, and moral is I and we should have the ability to delete something I wrote 13 years ago. Not allowing users to delete past comments because the website fears they wil…

Most of you don't know, news.ycombinator.com has a policy of not allowing you to delete comments ever, after just a few minutes. Mods believe this ruins archival reading. This is u…

> you don't just get paid because "it's a contract," that isn't how contracts work That's exactly how a contract works. Contract specifies transaction. How do you not know this. tr…

That’s not compensation. That’s companionship. There’s a difference. (Look Dang, no name calling)

> HN doesn't remove entire account histories, because that would gut the threads the account had participated in, which would be unfair to the other users in those threads. “Unfair…

Delete my content! Just as Apple, Facebook, Netflix, Google, reddit or any other big tech firm would do.

Irrelevant to our concerns here. What other people do with other information is not my concern. What HN does with my information is of direct concern and legal consequence.

Nothing is free and this can easily be tested. Something for something, or nothing for nothing. Pay me

Then that’s a problem. If my content is worth something then I should be paid or is should have a delete button. This isn’t trivial. I’m well versed in copyright. I have copyrights…

My job is not to facilitate someone else’s needs and wants. The problem here is a lack of a delete button. That is primus here. I don’t have to answer your question. You have to an…

No. No it’s not a dupe. Just as if FB still hadn’t changed one of their boneheaded policies a year after it was raised as a concern the first time.

You aren’t missing anything. Everything is public and I am an open book about this situation. I’m a privacy advocate, I delete accounts on social media from time to time, just not …

Dang’s mind is not the deciding factor here. The law is.

If my comments are not handy, delete them. If they are handy then I deserve compensation. If I created it I can destroy it. If I created it and was not compensated then I maintain …

Bad solution to a bad problem caused by bad reasoning from bad administration.

Listen pal, I don’t care about you or your reading comprehension, delete the comments and account.

I did ask. They won’t.

Simple quick question and I’m starting to wonder if this needs a legal explanation. Delete my comments and data Dang!

Dang, you may remember I asked you to wipe out and delete my account months ago. [1] You didn't and wouldn't. Needless to say it left me disappointed in HN and you personally. You …

The problem started in the 80s when Jack welsh was CEO. He thought it would be fun to invest in all sorts of specialized debt. At the time it made GE‘s balance sheets look great. T…

Sorry. I glossed over reading your whiny complaints. > Why does Jobs command such rabid adulation? Why? Because he was interesting and strange. He tapped in to the zeitgeist and ra…

Good technology is transparent. If advancements are done right, you would notice much difference. The truth is, not that much was different between 2000 and 2010 or 1990 and 2000. …

Actually humans have cannabinoid receptors. They are components of the hormone transmission in all animals, sans-(insects and Protozoa). Ironically, aspirin interacts with the huma…

This isn’t royalties, IP, or trolls. This is licensing and if you don’t like it you can take a hike cause licensing keeps people fair. Without it everyone could and would take ever…
