Note that most of the links you clicked on were not ones that I marked.

It's not that I like 50% and don't like 50%, rather I think that one or two years ago 50% of these would never have been submitted to HN.

Public outrage.

Had I written a long article about the good times at early Reddit, young Startup News, or even the newly rebranded HN and written about how we should strive to return to those days, that would be wishful thinking.

Also suggested was a killfile, which I think is the better suggestion.

Your comment is extremely disrespectful, and I believe erroneous.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics , "There is no academic consensus on the exact definition of "Politics" and what counts as political and what does not. Max Weber defined politics as the struggle for power." I found that definition applicable.

The irony of the screencap commentary format was intentional.

Funny, but I've made suggestions in the past.

No.

Groups within a community are generally good ways to meet new people and make connections, but I haven't seen any benefit in Mensa specifically. Go join a *UG or some group oriented toward finishing projects, not self-celebration.

I, as a musician, think you're making too much of this.

If he's worried about someone finding this when reading about the band he could obfuscate (rot13, etc) the name.

Yeah, what's the band?

The mainstream media had this idea first, they picked up the story of the New York highschool student who tested Red Snapper in various sushi restaurants and found that it was often Talapia.

That story got repeated in some jurisdictions, now a year or so later someone gets around to doing it with vegan food.

The discordance in some DFA will instantly distract me.

Every website that has to do with politics or religion will have a large number of comments.

I'm quite sure that, if we had HN memes, your 2nd line would spawn another one. It's very HN-ish.

Example usage: "Yes, he can write well, but has he ever really a webapp?"

I used to install automation and A/V equipment in boardrooms.

I'm curious, do home users go for automated blinds, room lighting, or TV controls?

Generally agreed, though I can think of one example to the contrary.

The churches that rent are usually newer and growing. The much loved idea that a startup is a better place than a well established organization works for churches too. I also heard that (IIRC) a church just about doubles in size when it gets a building. I don't know what analogue that has in the business world.

(Protip: Rent from a Catholic highschool, even if it's a Protestant church. Lower prices, smarter people.)

That's kind of the point, nothing was said that wasn't already public available information, yet people got angry at Xach for saying it.

The lack of trust is not trusting the community not to abuse an explained hack, and the whole is made dumb by the fact that anyone can figure out the hack for themselves even if it wasn't explained to them.

Taking it public is a fix. Now that this information is public none of us will give out our usernames to external websites, thus ending the problem. In effect Xach's could decide between emailing someone hoping they fix the problem, or just fixing it.

I found this whole event funny. I'm also amused that people reacted as negatively to this prank as middle managers at my old $MEGACORP job would.

So the community is based on trust yet you don't trust the community with information on how the community functions.

Re: "choice was between firing his trusted..."

Option 1: fire him (good PR), 2: Fire him and fire the guy who hired him (overkill PR stunt), 3: keep both (bad PR)

1. Get in great shape. 2. Help the poor.

The page history says that his last name might be Malsky.

Remember that The Monkees predated MTV.

There was an unofficial 15th rule: Don't work with the Navy. (From the book Skunk Works by Ben Rich who succeeded Kelly. Great book. Read it.)

Re: "any news which is serious and impacts lot of people or a region should be discussed here for finding peaceful solutions."

You should read "Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman".

Big money there, definitely. They're a common pest in every area I've been in Canada.

I suggest using predator birds and (directable) loud noise, either high-pitched or predator birdcalls.

I play in the church band every other week, that week involves 3 hours of practice and a 5/6 song set. I highly recommend this as this setting includes other people who require you to participate, and encourage you to play well.

Almost everyone in our band has a bachelor's degree, some have grad school, and there are a couple PhDs and an MBA. Some of the musicians are amazing.

Same, but played trumpet in between (I find that bassists have often played trumpet in the past).
