#2With all the news it is difficult to keep track: When did we receive the last sign of life from Snowden in Hong Kong?
Do we know he is still there?

#3Hope he hops on the plane to Iceland.

#4Well this for we knew would happen. It was just a matter of time. Now we enter the undefined territory where we don't really know what to expect from the various levels of the Hong Kong court system, as well as potential Beijing influence in one way or even the polar opposite.

And they're urging Hong Kong to do it quickly. I wonder what the result of that will be.

Someone, you know who, will call in a bomb and force the plane to land in UK, or Germany or another US satellite state. Or maybe USAF F-16s will greet the plane along the way

I feel this is important. I've upvoted it and will continue to upvote stories that get us closer to some kind of progress on the spying issue.

Why don't you just accept, that people are upvoting this, because it is relevant to them and they want to discuss the topic with fellow hackers?
I think I will never get the point of those "why is this on HN?" posts. HN's frontpage is not redacted by editors, but filled with posts people have upvoted.

The issue is important, and certainly, if some interesting new thing happens with interesting new HN-worthy implications, we should probably like to have a new conversation about it. Upvoting contentless fluff, however, will not "get us closer to some kind of progress" any more than clapping in a movie theatre will communicate your pleasure to the cast and crew of the movie.
