So, should we meta discuss the site now?

Couldn't strike a deal with lanxiongchuanmeiyouxiangongsi for hn.com?

We need to pass Go a few more times first.

Go? Isn’t Rust all the rage these days?

It's owned by YC now. We got it earlier this year. That's why it redirects to HN!

Shouldn't news.ycombinator.com redirect to hackernews.com instead?

Biggest problem with this would be broken password managers.

For a moment I thought this was going to be a version of the site with megabytes of javascript, 50+ third-party tracking/ad network/analytics scripts, facebook/twitter/reddit "share" links, a cookie consent dialog allowing me to accept all or "manage my preferences", autoplaying videos about an unrelated story on each page, a sidebar with thumbnails + clickbait headlines that distracts from the main content, and a popup window that appears once I scroll down past 30% inviting me to subscribe.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Sometimes I think I am the only person left in the world who still uses the "Bookmarks" feature of my web browser.

I only really use the bookmarks in the toolbar. Anything that gets bookmarked away from that is in the "will read it eventually but not really" territory.

Same, and I edit all my toolbar bookmarks to have no text, so it's just a row of favicons.

It would be interesting if YC ran two instances of the same HN app at different URLs, to see how the content & communities diverge over time. But it would only be interesting if you launched them at the same time, due to the effect of domain authority.

Seems to be full of finance-obcessed man-children and brogrammers.

I just reroute all of my outgoing traffic to HN. Whatever I try to do I end up here. /s

I just glue hn to my face. I see it when I open my eyes.

I have hn CRISPRed into my genes, programmed carefully in multi-core OCaml backed by Postgres.

There were people with me who are about to pass into their 12th year. See here: https://www.cookcountysheriff.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09...

saw this charge in there: > POSSESS BURGLARY TOOLS You can go to jail for that? I've had to break into my own home several times since living here because I've accidentally locked myself out.

Yes, in Illinois. Things like bump keys are illegal.

Here's the full list.. most of it centers on intent, but intent can be inferred in some cases: https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/documents/072000050K19...

Same, it would be cool to color the favicons differently (looking at my multiple Grafana bookmarks...)
