Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did.

Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.

Why isn’t disabling the plugin/hiding the icon good enough for you?

If you’re not paying for it, it’s not on. You can also disable the entire plugin from plugin settings if you want.

I agree. I actually deleted Apollo just an hour ago for this reason, quite a coincidence. I love it because it’s such a well made app which is too rare these days, and I hate it for the same reason.

Because infrastructure is built in a local context, where materials, designs et cetera are chosen on what is/was normal. I’m genuinely curious: do you really not understand this?

Seems interesting. Is there a recorded talk to go with this?
An honest question: Are we heading towards a new dot-com bubble? I feel like a lot of companies have been bought/sold for ridiculous amounts, e.g. Mojang, as well as these crazy investments devoid of critique. I'm far from a biz man but it makes me a bit worried. Should I be worried?
