Ended up not voting because they are asking for way too many Twitter OAuth privileges (including following and posting with my account, plus updating my profile).
Vote then revoke access
"This application will be able to: * Read Tweets from your timeline. * See who you follow, and follow new people. * Update your profile. * Post Tweets for you."
The hell.
I'm wondering why some people are on the list, like Miley Cyrus or the guy behind Netflix. If those are, why not others? I'd personally vote for the head of Naughty Dog and The Last of Us over Netflix. PS: thinking about it, I'd vote for Satoshi. We should do a HN POY. PS2 : done! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6800515
"Person of the Year" is really "Newsmaker of the Year." It's not an endorsement, just a recognition that they made the most news. Hitler was TIME's "Man of the Year" in 1938.
- after the Munich Agreement wherein Hitler agreed peace with Chamberlain. Ok he reneged, but that's not the point.
No way, I don't vote for traitors. All his US supporters are a bunch of Benedict Arnolds. BTW, just voted for Miley. She definitely made my year.
I never understand why USAians refer to Benedict Arnold as a "traitor". It's a really stupid word to bandy about in a civil war. The country was governed by Britain. Everyone who fought against the government was, by definition, a traitor. Using a word with such a definite negative connotation in such a complex environment is either disingenuous or obtuse. For similar reasons, using the word "traitor" is also stupid…

I can completely understand your position if you are an American. And I'm sure you can understand us foreigners trying to show our appreciation for a man who uncovered this extensive evil intrusion into our lives.
Bottom line, he's a traitor. Beyond that, most of the laws that helped start this were set into effect years ago. Where were the people crying then? Most people complain about having their privacy taken away when using free online services. All I see are a bunch of ignorant loud mouths who got angry too late.

The article isn't celebrating peace, it's very negative about Hitler. The cover for that issue shows people being tortured.
