Tip of an iceberg?

I had that initial reaction too, but he's right. I mean, I fucked up. I didn't read the Terms of Service evidently, and I'm suffering for that. What I do know for sure though is th…

My ideal resolution would be just to get an idea of what happened, what caused the ban, so I can avoid that in the future, and me taking my time to go through GitHub's terms of ser…

As far as code goes, I never contributed to anything even remotely malicious. I worked primarily on obscure scraping problems related to Puppeteer and Playwright. I built some libr…

I'm reaching out to the HN community because I've just lost something that can't be recreated: my entire GitHub history since I was 14 years old. What happened? My account was perm…

"Accountability is the essence of democracy. If people do not know what their government is doing, they cannot be truly self-governing. The national security state assumes the gove…

1A is hot garbage. The lady always interrupts guests if they stray beyond the 2-minute soundbite.

Stephen Kotkin also appears!

There is such a restriction, at least for NY. It was prompted by a wealthy businessman (naturally): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libby_Zion_Law

Amphetamines are addictive, regardless of dosage.

Lol - this from Fortune magazine. I swear I see a steady stream of these hit pieces from Fortune, WSJ, etc. Go away!

I also recommend checking out https://learn.javascript.ru/ which has more content than the english version (same author though I believe). Install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…

I don't think anyone here is disputing the fact that in the eyes of the law, his actions were illegal. But as someone who develops web scrapers/automation for a living, I poke and …

I've had this exact same experience! Same reason (cyber-bullying) given.
