They failed because they increasingly took a political tone and pressed on alienating everyone center to right. You can't lose 50% of the possible audience and continue on.

Coincidentally, I'm sick of it being assumed I'm racist simply because I'm white.

Forum without politics, please

Can someone please create a HN like forum where it is moderated to stay on topic and prohibit strictly political posts? If I want social justice propaganda or to slam Trump I'll go to reddit.

Re:Why Are Police Officers More Dangerous Than Airplanes? on Sunday August 13, 2017 @10:03AM (#15002946)
The next you want to think that a police officer may have been too on edge, consider this https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cb7_1502405948
what does this have to do with tech or start-ups?
Re:Ask HN: Where do you turn for high quality journalism? on Sunday April 30, 2017 @07:23AM (#14231033)
there is no true journalism in America anymore. It's all done with a political agenda. For the most part the news media is just the political arm of a party, mostly democrat but in some cases the republicans. You have to read multiple sources about the same subject to get a fair account.

The take on adjuncts is truth. Just about everything else is pure rubbish and I'm disappointed I wasted my time reading even half of it.

See ya.
I come to Hacker News for technology and start-up information. Why am I continuously confronted with political agendas that have nothing to do with the purpose of this forum. Take this to some /r/ forum.

The circle device must be within 10 feet of the router so it's impossible to connect to your neighbors router (assuming your not in an extremely tight apartment situation). You also can't walk into a coffeeshop or hotel lobby and use it. Yes, you can monitor you children's internet activity but isn't that what you should be doing? As far as an open wifi network; you always assume that someone is monitoring your activity. Be security conscious and conduct sensitive business through a VPN.

App designer – become an instant millionaire

As a parent it drives me crazy that I can't monitor my teenage son's snapchat messages. Parents who actively monitor their children's social media use never get a chance with snapchat because once the message is viewed - it's gone.Design an app that acts as a message forwarder so not only does the original user get the message but it also forwards to a second account.
