Is the lack of any page displaying with adblocking turned on intentional, or is it simply bad design?
It means you're using a bad ad blocker. Using uBlock origin it displays fine.
I had to disable my uBlock Origin in order to see the page

#22I was getting redirected to http://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/ if I clicked the link on HN. If I copy & paste the link to a new tab, then it worked for me.
If I turn off Ghostery, the link loads for me. They are probably trying to dissuade ad blocking. It might work better for them if they told you what was happening (instead of just sending you to a blank page).
Or, it just breaks in a way they didn't intend or know about. I've had both Ghostery and HTTPS Everywhere subtly break things, in cases where the author probably wouldn't bother to target those users. I guess we're kind of asking for it, running a client that doesn't comply with standards...

Can we just ban submissions from sites like this?
Here's a better, less Forbesy article that loads for me: http://www.amny.com/news/taxi-and-limousine-commission-seizi...

It worked because you opened it the second time. First time you open it, it places a cookie on your machine so it doesn't show you a redirection second time you open a link on Forbes.
So the solution is to just open it in tabs twice... and close the first tab.

#25Just another example of how prohibiting human behaviour instead of regulating leads to over zealous police and undue burden on law abiding citizens.
They should take a page out of London's book and allow minicabs to operate.

#26Why is the regular news reading more and more like my Onion RSS feed? I have a feeling things were always this absurd, if not more so, but the idiocy gets amplified now by the channels being so connected.

Ignorance is, in fact, bliss, sometimes.

#28>“‘Probable cause’ is not a talismanic phrase that can be waved like a wand to justify the seizure of any property without a warrant”
Does that apply to civil forfeiture as well? Sounds like it should.

#30Yet another reason why I've stopped using plural pronouns to refer to the state at any level.
