> Vague questions aren't that useful in building the library in particular because lacking the necessary information, they can have too many unhelpful answers. If that is truly the…

You're not the only one here that thinks someone describing something as "hostile" means they feel entitled to have it. I don't agree and I don't understand the connection. Speakin…

There are a lot of folks here on HN and around the web that are upset at Google's AMP cache system, and somewhat rightly so. But at least it is an attempt to make mobile internet l…

I don't think I ever saw a Documentation page in a search result. Instead, I saw (and see) dozens of copies of the same SO Q&A content spread across multiple sites. I wonder if the…

Their Q&A site was vastly better than what existed at the time, and that's how they won the market. Now, though, it is full of people looking for quick points (as you suggest) -- p…

If media spin can affect people, why couldn't a corporation or foreign government do the same? I don't understand why the facts that that a large number of people want government r…

I think it's worth noting that those BJS stats talk about convictions and that less than half of all violent crime is "cleared". [1] It's hard to know for sure who is getting away …

I kinda get it too, but at the end of the day there's no way for Nextdoor to effectively enforce the rule, and there's no reason for a journalist (not party to any agreement) to ig…

Nextdoor forums sound like never-ending HOA meetings.

If the cost of disclosure was a dollar a user there's pretty much no way we'd see them voluntarily tell us they were hacked. We'd have to wait until the information got out some ot…

IMO, it's because it's a term that they can use without getting much kickback. Before, they might use "fag" or whatever, but folks would (rightly) take offense to that. Even folks …

We're already talking about reducing the install base by over 95% (in my experience) by having no free option. It's hard to get too picky about who installs your app when you're at…

That's pretty much the only argument I ever see, other than the standard one for cannabis (it's just a plant).

I'd be ok with investing in 200mph rail if we went ahead and bought enough ROW to add faster adjacent rail when the funds/will is there.

Neat. Any chance of adding JSON processing where you can pick a key (ala `jq`[0]) and then combine it with RSS or other JSON or what have you? [0] https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

He or she's talking about backpage.com. They're infamous for hosting prostitution ads.

And (1) is in part because they deliberately put in extraordinary effort to customize and break Android, increasing the costs of merging from upstream.

There's plenty of money in it. Imagine if you could price the house correctly out of the gate, reducing the amount of time the home stays on the market. It is indeed a hard problem…

I feel exactly the same way about systemd as you seem to feel about docker.

Complaining about downvotes is one of the worst things you'll see on reddit, there's no need to bring it here. Pedantry is also not very useful but I guess it's not worth "downvoti…

In addition to contract enforcement and standardization, I'd add reducing and/or internalizing externalities. This is fundamentally a power differential issue but I think it's impo…

I think they could make threads work with some simple changes: * Optionally show thread replies in-line with chat, as they come in, just like regular chat but with some special ann…
