#132I wonder how soon it will be before some company starts renting these out from the city for ad space.
It will be just like the gas pumps.

I really do not understand people complaining about PSAs. Like learn some emotional maturity? If you weren't going to do the thing they're asking you not to do, then the message wasn't directed at you and you can go about your day just fine.
Remember: Pick up that can! Did you say thank you today? - A message from VP JD Vance Reminder: Vandalism of Tesla vehicles or properties is an act of terrorism and is punishable by deportation
Can you de-nationalize and deport American citizens now?.
(that is a thing in at least one country close by)

Some British right wing journalist/politician made a splash complaining about health and safety announcements and signs on the underground recently. I think the issue they have is that it's a tacit admission that we have a responsibility to other people, individually and collectively. And not just to those who pay us or who we can benefit from, but to humanity as a whole.
The “see it say it sorted” messages have been fodder for left wing comedians for years. Everyone hates them. Most people ignore them by donning headphones.
This is completely out of touch with my worldview. I've lived in and around London my whole life and, while "see it say it sorted" is a common joke, I've never once heard someone say they dislike them

Not really. Interesting posts can get buried easily just because they were posted at a bad time and people don't delve that far into the second or further pages. It's been going for almost 9 years now. I think it's a good idea.
Ok but why do they falsify all the comment timestamps?
Probably a limitation of the hotness/sorting algo.

The targets of this deserve every bit of shade that can be thrown at them, but unfortunately, this fucks with crosswalk accessibility for the visually impaired.
Not by much though, since "wait" and the tones still play. I suspect most visually impaired people will enjoy this as much as the rest of us.
As someone who is moderately visually impaired, I'd be very suspicious of a prompt that had obviously been tampered with. There's one post already in this submission suggesting a "prank" of sending people out into traffic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43670396

#139Political satire is the best form of satire, but someone should hack them in the other direction too.
What would be an example of ‘the other direction?’

To complete the illusion of freshness I guess. I don't see a big issue with doing that as part of the feature.
