FYI: HN has a recent feature where there's a link labeled "web" under the article link, which brings you to a web search. Clicking the first result will bypass the paywall.
Not anymore, that was true once, but doesn't work for me anymore (Germany).

Many of us agree. Unfortunately per dang policy such links are allowed and we're not even supposed to discuss it in the comments here. I don't know what to suggest other than looking for alternatives to HN. If you would like an invite to lobste.rs I'm happy to send you one.

They did rush - they launched Note 7 a year ahead of its time (last year we had Note 5) when they were only supposed to release Note 6. That takes, dare I say, courage . (just a joke, they just skipped the number 6 to put it in line with the Galaxy S generation).

[drip, drip, drip, drip, drip…] They have spent a huge amount of money on marketing this phone. I wrote a week or so back it could be the end of Samsung and people told me I was an idiot - they make so many other things, their spread is so broad, they can just produce the next phone and move on. This has done untold damage to their brand in the eyes of the average consumer and has wasted so much money, I think they a…
Its gonna hurt their sales for now and probably next year.
I think that samsung will continue to dominate the android market whatsoever for the next years to come.
