Re:Ask HN: How would you turn Twitter around? on Tuesday February 28, 2017 @02:03PM (#13756687)
I'm not an avid Twitter user and I don't think any of these would turn me into one. Maybe the issue is there isn't enough for me to do there...just saying.

I don't think the website is marketing the phone correctly. It should be really telling my I would want this phone over others.

This is not really a platform. It's a consulting shop, with money to buy TC space
Well I guess they'll learn by their mistakes...

Re:Facebook begins censoring images of prophet Muhammad on Wednesday January 28, 2015 @01:46PM (#8961689)
Muslim here. I do think the people who draw pictures of Muhammad do so fully knowing that it will offend Muslims. The only message they're trying to get across is "we don't like you".
It'll be interesting to know. You can't make calls from the plane to transmit location. You can however, do it when you detect the luggage has landed, based on altitude and/or airport coordinates.
