hither2··on The BBC on the Rack
It is you and this other person that are making this claim.

Provide the evidence to support your claim.

Or, just for fun...name 10 other genuinely "right-wing" figures they have on.

hither2··on The BBC on the Rack
Generally, I think "the bbc" is centre-left (upper-middle-class flavoured).

Their positions on most issues conform to that faction.

What about the rest of the organisation?
hither2··on The BBC on the Rack
That is not ironic.

How many other right wing guests did they invite?

This is typical la-di-da lefty nonsense, thinking you can deflect from your negative behaviour by presenting shallow statistics.

Hey, guys! isnt like so funny cuz...look at the number!

The BBC routinely imposes their favoured races onto representations of British history and culture. I suppose that is "right wing". Is that what you are getting at?

hither2··on Show HN: Quill – Messaging for teams that focus
2 cents...

I think you should call it QwertyQuill. Better suits the colour scheme, tone of the copy, product, market etc.

the logo should be a keyboard button with a quill on it.

(as you know) This is a very competitive market. You should lean into being the good-times-vibe-work-chat-app choice, be genuinely counter-culture, I don't mean put a gay flag on your social media profile. Get those eco-groups (the weird ones) using your app, get alt-right groups (not the ones that have killed people) using your app, fandoms, femdoms etc. Be proud of it, broadcast it, make sure you are the weird chat app people.

hither2··on Ask HN: Are .io domains out of style?
diagrams.io is taken..probably squatted..it was likely very expensive. diagrams.co seems to be $10,000. diagrams.com is $20,000 at least.

The hip domain is .so Somalia

hither2··on Ask HN: When do you expect life will get back to “normal”?
Oh, what textbook are you reading?

You not being aware of something does not mean it does not exist.

What is this political ideology of mine you are identifying?

hither2··on Ask HN: When do you expect life will get back to “normal”?
The comment is not dog whistling...people need to stop misusing political terminology. It renders words meaningless. Considering that you depend upon hiding behind words, it is best not to deconstruct your own shield.
hither2··on Ask HN: When do you expect life will get back to “normal”?
At least 150 years of politics.
hither2··on Ask HN: When do you expect life will get back to “normal”?
Yes, earlier actions definitely should have been taken.

Interestingly, there seems to be a collective delusion developing about when the action could of/should of been taken. Late January...early February...really? That long?

hither2··on Ask HN: When do you expect life will get back to “normal”?
I'm not in the U.S. And I'm not interested in starting a flame-war. By all means, research these ideologies yourself.

I was answering the poster's question with my opinion. You do not have to like it.

hither2··on Ask HN: When do you expect life will get back to “normal”?
A few weeks. This is an over-reaction.

The push for suppressing entire populations for months and years are coming from those that want to dis-empower these populations the rest of the time.

If by "normal" you mean the neo-liberal/neo-marxist agenda "progressing"... that is increasingly unlikely

hither2··on Top Technologies to Learn in 2020 and Beyond
Geekbait
hither2··on For people with an abusive partner, lockdown means captivity
"In addition" This means in addition.

You are arguing in bad faith. You do not even need to argue.

hither2··on Brave is promoting etoro affiliate program and scamming its users
I was being non-confrontational.
hither2··on Brave is promoting etoro affiliate program and scamming its users
OK, I suppose this is good reporting, but it is not the scandal you think it is.

Also, etoro does a lot more than cryptocurrency-trading.

Edit: This is a repost too. Interestingly the title of the other post "Brave Browser earning commissions promoting high risk blockchain platform" less click-baity got 2 points, 1 comment.

hither2··on Ask HN: What have you noticed people spending money on?
Alcohol (tonic as well, i'm in the UK though)

:) I just posted a link showing search topic trends entitled "elderberry, ETFs, Zerohedge, Zoom" People also searched for aloe vera, Microsoft teams etc. https://explodingtopics.com/topics-this-month

hither2··on Harvard epidemiologist: my colleagues assumed UK coronavirus plan “was satire”
I think the comment was alluding to the unpopularity of these figures within the "intelligentsia". This group has been making politicised statements masquerading as authoritative announcements quite often. This group love these interjections and the people that follow them do to. But they have sowed distrust.

The person is making a fair point, but cocking it up a bit.

hither2··on The story of Henry Ford's $5 a day wages: not what you think (2012)
I enjoyed your comment, but it is an unfair criticism of the article. The subject of the article is not Henry Ford, the subject is his $5 a day wages. It's a business article (vaguely economic) not a historical account.

Will probably buy that book though. Thanks.

hither2··on Ask HN: What makes an online course amazing?
2 cents:

I think the internet is the best way to distribute information, but for me one of the worst places to learn.

If the learning is solely done via the computer I will fail to even get near to completing the course (self-study, no pressure). But by using pens, paper, books etc, my ability gets to a normal level.

So, encourage them to behave close to the way they do in your classes.
