Hacker News Reader

If you are unsure what you are doing, do not do it. For example, I just posted to hackernews. The button in my app says "submit", but doesn't warn me about posting to the internet. Is there any problem with that? No, because I know what I'm doing and anyone using the Internet should too.

The nature of "being unsure" often inherently precludes being aware of that unsureness. Some companies are well known to exploit this basic fact of existence.

Let's not pretend that context doesn't matter, including the average technical proficiency of the intended audience, or the fact that HN's conventions are recognizable to people who have grown up with Usenet, BBS, forums, aggregators, etc. That is not the case here.

You don't need context there is terms and services that no one reads

This argument kind of defeats itself.
