danielpetrica··on Ask HN: GitHub notification spam using private forks?
It's I can confirm this issue for me. It looks like that someone given all the Unreal Engine users push rights, this prompted the GitHub system to automatically subscribing them to the repository.

This prompted a lot of spam which it seems like its breaking the front page, prompting the unicorn page. If you have this issue try to navigate to a different page to access your settings and edit the auto-subscription settings.

To disable this setting got to https://github.com/settings/notifications and un-tick the 'Automatically watch repositories' settings.

The repository seems to be these [1] & [2]. I'll advise anyone in the unreal engine to go and un-watch them as they are full of spam.

danielpetrica··on An entrepreneur has built a one-metre-long stretch of motorway in Romania
These new ideas may be great in places where essential infrastructure is ok, but in Romania where missing this essential infrastructure. As an example I could tell you my case: I live in Italy, north of, and to go from here to my hometown in Bacau, for holidays, the trip (by car) from Arad (the city on the border) to Bacau takes almost as much as the trip from Italy to Arad. Plus the Romanian side of the trip (on the main routes, "E" roads) passes through a lot of cities and small town with high risks for the locals and the ones in the car. Having a decent motorway would allow to reduce traffic in these towns and reducing car air/sound pollution in these communities. Train routes alternatives don't even exist or are takes too long. Airplane options are very expensive (for a family of 4) considering that in the holiday season prices can become very high.
