Even with the current restrictions people still use it quite extensively as a "I disagree" button.
Interesting. The "reply" link is hidden for some comments - but not others - such as this one, yet I am able to bypass it by modifying the "reply" URL. Is this something new, or simply something I hadn't noticed before?

To the right it shows shipping cost, with a question mark next to it that explains the fee.
I think it's really misleading. I didn't notice this question mark, and found out about total price with shipment to UK only after I purchased it. There was no second step with confirmation or anything... Shipping costs should just change on the page based on which country you select.

Just click "link" above the post and the reply box appears.

Too bad they don't integrate with Coinbase.com!
We're working on accepting Bitcoin through Coinbase, just wasn't quite ready for this tee!

Right. Hm. I wonder why it does that.
They really should scrap the reply link entirely and move it next to the "flag" button e.g. | reply

What is the point that is being missed? I thought the design was pretentious minimalism. It's minimal for the sake of it, not minimal because it's distilling the essence of something. The essence of HN is not the orange and grey colors. It's really hard to connect the shirt to HN when I look at it. The essence of HN to me is karma, usernames, YC, up/downvotes, programming, America, internet companies, drama, PG love…
Quite. I would have preferred this across the chest. georgeorwell 20 minutes ago | link | parent | flag
I don't really get this T, i understand its going for minimalism, but would someone who frequents HN recognize it if they did not already know its affiliation?(i wouldn't) & if the answer is no, then whats the point of the T? Edit for clarity: Not knocking the cause, it is great. Just the design really, maybe im missing something.
I kind of wish this were the top comment. It would be humorously appropriate if the top comment on the thread about the official HN t-shirt were the traditional nitpicking/point-missing type that is so commonly the top comment when people launch new technology here.
It's like a burqa for your nipples.

Complicated question. Dismissive comments about new things bother me partly because there's an asymmetry that seems unfair. It's so risky to create something new, and so easy to dismiss it. At their worst, the people making such comments are like schoolyard bullies picking on someone who tries to do something different. This particular case is very mild-- more confused than dismissive really. It just struck me as fun…
Have you considered hiring someone full time just to improve Hacker News? You have built an incredibly valuable forum, and there is no other place on the internet like it. But the quality of the comments is definitely degrading over time. I worry that if serious time is not dedicated to fixing the problem Hacker News will go the way of usenet.
HN is undergoing the transition that every community undergoes, from ultra-exclusive and underground to more populist. There's always gnashing of teeth from the entrenched userbase as a site becomes popular. That said, right now HN still has an interesting balance of technical and non-technical content for me, and an amazing group of commenters, I don't see it going anywhere soon.
