DMCA 24h?! It means I could 'troll' someone out of business doing bogus complaints? At least out of their server.

HN has always been pro generit food, it's your bias talking. Just like someone who thinks 'this' site is too left or too right.
Re:We Need More Alternatives to Facebook on Sunday May 21, 2017 @01:44PM (#14388246)
You can always copy twitter but you can't get the traction. You think TV companies will advertise your network 24/7? If you think Twitter should be utility either govs have to force some standards to every social network or nationalize it.

The people in the offices are too dumb to even grasp what servers are, let alone distributed services or why would standards be beneficial for the society. Maybe next generation knows better if we by then are not under the iron rule of few SV companies.

You misunderstood me, I'm talking about brigading. When he was popular did you call it Obama fans brigading again and how to stop them?
Re:Washington Post launches a Reddit public profile on Sunday May 21, 2017 @03:01AM (#14386053)
Is it brigading only if you don't accept the narrative? Half of the popular voted for the man, can't remember anyone complained when Obama was in the office.

It's very much relevant if you're aware what kind of thought control comes out of liberal colleges. The person in question is here only to spread its agenda, nothing else. I have no respect for that kind of people and I encourage others to step up and finally show that you have some balls left.
But other sources are not reporting it, so maybe there really is too much bias?
Re:Kill Google AMP before it kills the web on Saturday May 20, 2017 @07:03PM (#14384837)
I'm surprised if you think otherwise.

WE are on the mercy of few SV companies and whatever they decide or push is our fate.

Re:Chelsea Manning released from prison on Wednesday May 17, 2017 @11:03AM (#14359098)
But he was not a whistleblower, there was nothing important to leak besides bunch of state's secrets. The leaks held no value.
I wouldn't be surprised if communists and Antifa would destroy them on purpose in the name of fighting for "working class" and jobs. And if not them, then other thieves/vandals do the job.
All in all I hope we can see Thiel against him to balance it out.
And nothing has changed in 2017 from both sides, the ads are still there and show spyware download links.

I guess Google is too busy dealing with "fake news" and paint.net can't give up that sweet ad money.

Re:Rejection Letter on Sunday May 14, 2017 @03:26PM (#14337128)
You're brainwashed, Assange is more "American" in his values than any of the politicians you have had, and have provided more journalistic value, for the past 20 years.
Re:Rejection Letter on Saturday May 13, 2017 @08:55PM (#14333720)
The wikileaks hysteria is ridiculous, it's on par with lunatics believing Jews control the world. Since when spreading conspiracy theories became normal? The stupid American elections have ruined everything, everything is fake news, everything is fascism, everything is Kremlin.
Re:YouTube Stars Feel an Advertising Pinch on Monday May 08, 2017 @04:02PM (#14295059)
Let's not forget YouTube relies on these people too. Yes, YouTube has near monopoly in the area right now, but there can always be changes. These influencers can bring a new site overnight 500k new users if they want to.

And the whole advertisers don't like that content is stupid and complicated. I can't remember the name but some popular guy made series about serial killers, no NSFW pictures but probably something you wouldn't your kids watch. Most of his videos were banned completely. Yet we have a shitload of rap music that sings literally about killing people making money with big brands. Go figure. This song gives me nice Amazon.com ads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJwKKKd2ZYE

Re:French election: Macron defeats Le Pen on Sunday May 07, 2017 @09:23PM (#14288649)
Then islamophobia is also fine, since I don't tolerate sick archaic beliefs.
Re:French election: Macron defeats Le Pen on Sunday May 07, 2017 @09:23PM (#14288646)
Pretty big difference. Check your facts next time and stop the fearmongering.
Re:French election: Macron defeats Le Pen on Sunday May 07, 2017 @09:21PM (#14288644)
It's not. A lot of young people voted for Le Pen. People are sick and tired of Marxists destroying their countries. It's obvious they just won some time but big changes are coming.
Re:Wikimedia Foundation spending on Sunday May 07, 2017 @04:27PM (#14287454)
I see. I was thinking the parent referred to specific people. Nation-wide blocks we're all well aware of.
Re:Wikimedia Foundation spending on Sunday May 07, 2017 @04:17PM (#14287395)
Out of interest, who are the powerful who hate Wikipedia?
Re:Wikimedia Foundation spending on Sunday May 07, 2017 @04:17PM (#14287392)
I think majority here would disagree, including me :)

And for Google it's fine as it is, they make billions using the free data people provide through Wikipedia. They just spill out the facts (often wrong) and people never leave Google.

Re:UglifyJS 3 Released on Sunday May 07, 2017 @01:53PM (#14286566)
Well, in most cases my test with minifiers is that output code performs worse than uncompressed code.
Canada going with the laws of stopping islamophobia (what does it even mean?) the West is on the downhill. I need to create a religion fast to protect my ideas - - also the ones o might have in the future, I'm not sure yet. Who wants to join to make it more credible?
Re:UglifyJS 3 Released on Sunday May 07, 2017 @11:40AM (#14285955)
How much does these uglifiers slow down the code for a the client? Especially if you're using a mobile or slow arm machine? I started to think about these things when u started using an arm based chromebook. Stupidly bloated js heavy sites started to stand out. Facebook is unusable, slightly better if you disable extensions.
Re:Buy Stars – Become a GitHub Superstar on Friday May 05, 2017 @07:00AM (#14272506)
My submission is not meant to discourage the behavior but rather share with the community that even that kind of shilling exists. Found it through searching for something relevant to Github stars.
And the other question is why would auto makers want to sell or sacrifice their production capacity so they Google can kill them?

Also, there are soy many regulations and safety rules in the industry, if they can't abolish them (with perfect tech/lobbying) old automakers will win.

Re:Exploiting the TOR-Browser on Tuesday May 02, 2017 @08:59PM (#14252196)
Do you also think the same say about gun control? Hate speech?
Re:Introducing Surface Laptop on Tuesday May 02, 2017 @08:43PM (#14252127)
Yes if you're willing to mess with crouton.
Why are they so dominant? Do they rank so well on a Google in the U.S?
