HN's HTML Is Invalid

(if it wasn't clear, this is submitted in jest)

The validator's HTML is invalid too. All I get is "Enable JavaScript and cookies to continue" but of course doing that doesn't actually work either. It's crazy that even the W3C has put itself behind cloudflare's walled garden. You'd think if anyone would respect the open web and standards it'd be them. At least HN's page is actually HTML even if it might not be fully standards compliant. That's far better than the W3C's showing here.

Oh no, someone call the Internet police.

Which shows that you don't need valid HTML to be successful

Wait, there is something newer now?
