    Ask HN: Why is this account "banned"?

    My comments are only visible to me, they go straight to the bottom (not that it matters given the first point), and page loading is delayed by ~15 seconds. These things are all ins…

    Nice conspiracy theory, but it seems to ignore one extremely important point: Football is a sport , not a technological arms race. They won't allow iPads and LCD visors for the sam…

    Taking advice from Sebastian Marshall is dangerous. Seriously, are his articles being upvoted by trolls or are there actually that many morons in this community now? The kid wouldn…

    This is unusable on the Galaxy Nexus due to its mysterious tendency to make fonts microscopic for random sections of the page. Guess it never occured to anyone to test their flagsh…

    Parents should really take note of the studies and conclusions in this article. As someone diagnosed with ADHD who has tried numerous medications (Adderall regular and XR, Vyvanse,…

    Oh, really? The title says "Agree or GTFO" on your screen? Odd, it doesn't look like that at all on mine. Ever heard of a little thing called hypocrisy? Just curious.

    I wish it weren't true, since any economic collapse has global implications, but they've dug themselves into a serious hole and haven't made any drastic moves to pull themselves ou…

    This may actually be one of the worst times to move to China if you're looking for a fresh start. They've been on a lending binge that's created a massive fixed asset bubble (mainl…

    The title is just a meaningless game of semantics, and the article doesn't contain a single shred of useful information that wouldn't qualify as common sense. Trust, communication,…

    Better yet, why hasn't anyone created an app that just simulates a guest mode? A launcher with two sets of home screens would be perfect. Or , you just disable your preferred launc…
