alumnisfu··on Ask HN: What's the most life-changing blog post you've ever read?
Where's the blog post? I just see an ad for a book.

I just knew someone would reply with a comment like this but foolishly I decided not to get ahead of it.

Sure, there used to be more. Sure, there are obviously better places to be as a Jew.

But ... I replied to the comment that said "there are no Jews in Iran" . There are Jews living in Iran. That's it.

alumnisfu··on Alexei Navalny has died
> I'm trying to compare Alexei with some other known political figures. For Americans, I think Alexei is roughly comparable to MLK.

If you are comparing him to MLK, you've not seen Navalny's videos on Central Asians I guess (in case you need a summary: compares them to insects that need to be exterminated then kills one with a handgun).

alumnisfu··on Is it right to blame Google/Yahoo for deprecating an email forwarding service?

It's really frustrating. As I said, I've used the same address for 20+ years now and it seemed like good brand awareness for the university to maintain this service for graduates/professionals so I never thought I suddenly have to move away from it.

You can find my non-SFU (!) contact info in my profile.

In fairness to them, there isn't a way to keep your forwarding address even if you pay, or at least nothing advertised.
