basic612on Ask HN: Which is the oldest software alive still in 0.x, used by many?

The site appears to be quite tongue in cheek however the table of 0.x projects looks like quite the valid reference.

basic612on Amazon refuses to sell book on Covid-19 and lockdowns

Does stating that they will not offer for sale amount to a ban?

I wonder if Amazon would have reversed their original decision on more detailed review, without the publicity you speak of. Are we sure that the blog post or this discourse are the causes that effected the book being offered for sale in the end?

I would have read the blog post and HN comments with less skepticism if there was evidence that Amazon had continued to refuse to sell the book after multiple submissions and signs of human / managerial interaction in the process on their part.

basic612on Amazon refuses to sell book on Covid-19 and lockdowns

I wonder if this will be noted on the easy blog or on hacker news. It seems that people are too caught up being outraged to notice. Comments made here three hours ago about the book now being available on Amazon are buried under piles of diatribes. Let’s not let the truth get in the way of a good sanctimonious rant.
