Angry comments that begin "I suspect" do not count as substantive on HN. If you continue to break the site guidelines by using HN primarily for political battle, we're going to ban you, as I explained yesterday. That's not because we support dystopian surveillance, evil dictatorships, or whatnot. It's because we need to protect the commons here as a place for intellectual curiosity, rather than a scorched-earth battl…

So now HN readers are not allowed to make predictions based on past and recent behaviour and revelations (that in my opinion make these predictions extremely likely)? Anyhow it's your site, your rules. I visit HN to discover new technology, and engage mostly with privacy-related discussions (since other topics that interest me rarely if ever appear on HN). If you think the site would be better off without my comments…

I don't want to ban you! I would rather try to persuade you to use the site as intended. It's in your interest to do so, because if HN becomes a flamewar wreck, it won't remain a good place to discover new technology or do the other things people like to do here.

This is currently listed as the most starred repository on Github with 153k stars: https://github.com/search?q=stars%3A%3E0&s=stars&type=Reposi... (There was the freeCodeCamp repo with 300k stars, but I don't see it in the list anymore.) I am surprised that this protest does not get more media coverage. Also, Alibaba and Huawei are in the list of companies...

I see freeCodeCamp, it's currently #1 for me, while 996.ICU is #2.

Maybe I interpret it wrong, but here is a tricky point: You have to apply for government's permission to do a legal on-street protest. ref: http://www.npc.gov.cn/wxzl/gongbao/1989-10/31/content_148121... (Chapter 2 Article 7, Chinese)

Is not that the same in other countries? In Russia you also need to negotiate the protest at least 10 days before the event (and the government has lot of excuses to deny it).

In US, the First Amendment protects "right of the people peaceably to assemble", so the ability to restrict it via permits is somewhat limited. In general, a permit is only required if the protest is large enough to be significantly disruptive. Normally this means that so long as you can stay on the sidewalks without disrupting pedestrian traffic, you're good.

Sometimes, municipalities still try to block protests because of politics/people they don't like participating, under the guise of some more neutral explanation (usually noise or safety). But judges generally take a dim view on such shenanigans, and they rarely pass scrutiny in the courtroom, since the government is then expected to explain the exact grounds for denial, and prove that it is relevant and narrowly tailored.

As long as you are very clear you are not directing your anger at the government, it's usually ok to protest in China. For example, there are often mass protests if wages are not paid to factory workers, etc. https://www.voanews.com/a/chinese-migrant-workers-protest-un...

Thanks for your replies. I see that it's also required in other countries.

So I'm a little curious that if a protest is related to complaints about the government, will it get accepted (at most cases)?

most of them will not be accepted or considered at all. in very rare case, protest will be accepted or encouraged, most of them have gov behind it.

i work 996 because i am so impressed with china. now i’m reconsidering this behavior

Unless your workdays are full of playing games and drinking with coworkers you’ll probably burn out with that schedule. But then again startups founders work those hours or more

OOh right, i'm a founder. I feel the opposite of burning out.
