Re: Public health data disappeared. RestoredCDC.org is bringing it back
#92For those wondering why this exists: many of the pages that were formerly listed on the CDC website have been disappearing, likely in response to recent executive orders, though this has not been made explicit. As an example, I checked the Women's Health page and noticed a lot of removals -- the pages on menstrual health and hygiene ([1] vs [2]), or the page summarizing health disease statistics in women ([3] vs [4])…

Are all the firings across the federal government just to cause backlash too?

I hate that many projects use Discord where anything else (IRC, Matrix, whatever) would work but in this case especially. Tencent owns an undisclosed share in Discord and just generally seems like a bad choice of communication platform if you want to look better than doge
Discord works by clicking a button - you get to signup, you fill in your email, bam you're on the Discord channel in your browser. Zero friction, nothing new to learn for the user. IRC on the other hand....
... does not even ask for your email?

Is Trump even allowed to do that? Didn't he get impeached for basically the same thing in his last term?
If the democrats get enough votes in the house and senate, I imagine they’ll swiftly kick him and hopefully vance out. For that to happen, the US economy will need to collapse (likely, given the tariffs, dismantling of governments, alienation of all trade partners, and multiple incoming pandemics, including measles, bird flu and ebola). However, the US will have to be a democracy in 12-24 months, and all of Trump’s a…
Not sure why this got downvoted, this is stating two clearly correct premises. The only people who will vote against Trump are in the Democratic Party, and the only way they'll get enough representatives into power is with economic collapse. Inflation is the only thing voters care about to a very accurate first approximation. Dismantling the institutions and installing autocracy is not something that causes public sentiment to change.

HN doesn’t like reasonable questions in general. Jeff Geerling once got on the wrong side of HN moderation (falsely accused of spamming); you should see the hate for HN in the comments on his post about it. Many choice words, increasingly completely deserved. https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2022/i-almost-got-banned-h...

This is such a cliche, people have been saying it for almost two decades at this point.

#96Were I rich, I would buy a new tld (.usgov?) where we can recreate all the stuff being destroyed.
Like https://govwayback.com/? It enables trivial access to everything as archived before the current admin took office.

If this is true, why don’t we see the administration ordering the pages restored?

The CDC lost credibility among conservatives in 2021; when they were insisting on masking for all, the 10 person gathering limit was in many states… but for better or worse, they refused to condemn, and downplayed, the health effects of the George Floyd protests happening simultaneously. This is retaliation against the CDC for implicitly saying you can protest racism in the streets, but cannot attend Thanksgiving wit…
The first amendment prevents the government from abridging the right for people to assemble and peacefully protest. Given that there's a public safety concern, one could argue there's nuance here, but you can hardly blame them for taking the safe route and avoiding violating our constitutional rights, and it's doubtful there was enough precedent for the CDC to feel comfortable taking the legal risk.
Based on your first sentence I thought you were going to talk about the government shutting down church services, which was a talking point on the other side. I think in either case, the first amendment would allow for the government to impose safety restrictions. (Could you, for example, use the first amendment to stop your church from getting shut down due to building code violations?)
However, to the point about credibility among conservatives, even some drive-in Church services were shut down: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2020/08/08/cor...
I think if crowded outdoor marches were deemed safe, a drive-in church service should have as well.

does hackernews sell "grassroots support" the same way reddit does? almost seems like it
Probably. It’s public knowledge that all Y Combinator alumni get a special indicator, and can recognize each other on here, but nobody else is allowed to know who they are. For all you know, that post which was downvoted to oblivion, was solely because it upset five of the insiders, who are also the five replies calling you stupid.

Nonsense, even Reddit says this place is full of toxicity beyond themselves. And that was five years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/diduoy/hacker_news_...
Five? the link in the guidelines saying not to do that date back to the site's inception in the aughts
