hash9··on Starship Flight 5: Launch and booster catch [video]
> Took the side of the right-wing rioters who attacked mosques in the UK, saying civil war is inevitable

Leave out the part where the riots were started because someone with an immigrant background killed a bunch of kids at a Taylor Swift concert and police were withholding the identity. Along with your other 'anecdotes', can you make your political position any more transparent?

hash9··on Lazarus Group laundered $200M from 25 crypto hacks to fiat
When was the last time they used that "explosive power" to good effect? They got humiliated in Afghanistan and Russia isn't even scared to act out any more. The only people who think America still rules the world is it's delusional populace.
hash9··on Ousted propaganda scholar accuses Harvard of bowing to Meta
Had a quick look and Donovan is a board member of Check My Ads [1], "an organization that pushes advertisers to ditch right-leaning media" and they've wrote articles in favour of social media bans [2]. They're probably referring to that.

hash9··on Ask HN: Concepts that clicked only years after you first encountered them?
> Go do some reading on the subject. A good place to start is trying to enumerate exactly what heritages count as white, and how that has changed over time.

This is clearly from someone who hasn't experience other cultures. White, black, asian, latino labels were all made up around 1700-1800s and all have been argued who's included all over the world even now, is a human created concept that has changed over time. Like most Americans your clearly making up for any biases of an all white upbringing and systemic racist past by being anti-white now.

hash9··on Ask HN: GPT-3 reveals my full name – can I do anything?
Getting 5580 results now oops. He's got a domain with exact username with his resume which has full name and more, is he serious haha.

> Then what about miscarriage? If a newborn were to die under unknown circumstances, there should be an investigation.

Most states have laws regarding causing miscarriage via assault, even California so there are investigations already.

hash9··on Ask HN: Is anyone else glad the crypto market is crashing?
What are you on about? If you own all the shares of a company, you own the company, that's how hostile takeovers can happen. Usually shares come with voting rights, dividends (share of profits) etc. You're right about the price speculation though.
hash9··on Amazon to stop accepting UK Visa credit cards
> the EU ... has nearly a billion people

More like under half billion (~447.0 million).

>The UK is basically Mexico now

Except it has a much bigger more advanced economy and a ton of other differences but carry on with the hyperbole.

> The Netherlands and Germany are filling that role ...

Just recently Royal Dutch Shell just switched headquarters to UK from NL, maybe there are some advantages then.

> Was doing it off the top of my head

Any more facts you want to come up with from the top of your head? I think I'll just disregard the rest of your facts then.

hash9··on What really happened to Jack Ma?
There is substantial research showing a negative correlation between female empowerment and fertility rates.

hash9··on NTSB: Tesla Model S in Crash Couldn't Have Been Using Autopilot
Doors that dont open on a power failure sound super fucking unsafe. Looks like on the Model s they do open manually in front if you pull the handle back enough and in the back via a hidden release cable under the seat which sounds less than ideal. I'm not sure if this is the case with the other models.

hash9··on No support Linux hosting shutting down from hack
They don't. They're referring to a famous proverb.
hash9··on SSH for Fun and Profit
It'd be nicer if people could stop derailing interesting threads with their gender politics and pedantry.
hash9··on The User Is Drunk
It doesn't have to be discussed in every single comment page on hackernews to be taken seriously, it gets tiresome. In traditional forums john's comment would be considered a topic derailment. What does a guy testing websites drunk have to do with gender in tech?
hash9··on Hal Finney being cryopreserved now
I hope if civilisation has got to the point of reviving the long dead that they'd have better uses for the revived than tormenting them.
hash9··on We Will Fight Until The End
I thought the danger was if 2 or more were swallowed and they attach in the intestine. If kids have an unpleasant experience after downing one maybe they wouldn't try another? They might even puke them up before they cause more serious damage, plus mom/dad are alerted that something is wrong. A vile tasting coating could also help.
hash9··on Popcorn Time is back
There's a ton of ways Hollywood can get paid but it may not be as easy or profitable.

Although it wouldn't be popular I could imagine Hollywood relying more on product placement. I've noticed TV shows targeted at young people having increasing amounts of brands in them.

Plus there's Kickstarter style. People pay for the movie they want to get made. Veronica Mars was funded this way.

hash9··on Russia approves use of military in Ukraine
People dislike DM for many other reasons and will jump at the chance to discredit it. Think British Fox News.

Going through the thread calling people names. Keep it classy teamgb.

It reads to me like extreme advertising. It was popular on 4chan for a while.

hash9··on Why Is Zambia So Poor?
If you can't counter the argument attack the person.

"Don't even bother with the user "newnewnew"" - Ignore and ostracise those with opposing views. How open minded of you.

hash9··on Rambling On [PHP] Internals
So brave. Trust me, on hackernews you are not going against the popular opinion. Actually you'd be hard pressed to find any decent programmer community in 2013 that advocates PHP for beginners.
hash9··on How far the once-mighty SourceForge has fallen
You can get 100TB/month for under €100 on Leaseweb. Couldn't you raise this in donations each month? I'm sure with your traffic it'd be possible.
hash9··on Show HN: Logos in Pure CSS
If you're finding Photoshop difficult try Fireworks. It's easier for basic web stuff like gradients and simple shapes.
hash9··on The Power Of Silence: Why The SimCity Story Went Away
>The public still agrees this game is a failure and their sales will reflect that.

The surprising thing is it's actually doing pretty well: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/videogames/676456011/

Maybe it's the old, 'there's no such thing as bad publicity' coming true.
