So long as people click on those pages, everyone with even the most minute point will write to their hearts' content. I'm surprised that this page didn't have a million ads on it
I haven't tried the surface version of office, but the web versions of office definitely lack features compared to the desktop versions (for example, array formulae)
Normally people are well intentioned, but sometimes you stumble upon repos with very strange licenses (for example, a javascript repo that has operating system restrictions https://github.com/stephen-hardy/xlsx.js/issues/8 ).
It's usually not of a concern for most people working on small projects (after all, another party has to notice and then decide to take action), but if you are trying to enter an industry with a highly litigious incumbent then you should make sure your ducks are in a row first.
Including a license is the #1 reason myself and many other people stray away from code on the internet. I won't touch a project if it's not stated properly.
And to be clear, just writing that your project is MIT licensed or sticking it in a package.json or making a small remark in your README doesn't cut it. You need to follow the terms of the license you wish to use (my comment on the matter: http://blog.nig.gl/post/48848761220/just-saying-something-is...)

set -o vi
sets vim bindings for bash (and there's a similar thing for the libreadline)> And besides, it doesn't invalidate the ethical point that it is right to privide medical insurance, even if true.
Your original point was "There are no good reasons to be against the Act", so my response was pointing to a reason why someone would be against the act: I'm pretty sure that being laid off due to a regulation is a pretty good reason to be unhappy

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one :)
In your example, you can say whatever you want about how it was worth more than you actually netted, but at the end of the day all that matters is the fact that you realized 16K
IF there's any hostility, it's directed at people and acts that are seen as inconsistent: You point to the rule that says "Please don't post on HN to ask or tell us something ... If you want to say something to us, please send it to info@ycombinator.com. " after you made a post telling them that the site is having issues.
"More, I figured that most of the other times something goes wrong at least someone posts to HN asking, and no one had done so."
That's not an excuse for you to do something which, as you pointed out, violates a rule.
"I was half hoping to head off the usual flood of posts that something was wrong and let there be just the one place,"
Incidentally there is one place that did head off the usual flood of posts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5650171 Are you complaining that it wasn't your post that was the one place?
popcorn? preworn?
How do you know others didn't do the right thing (by emailing info@ycombinator.com) ? AFAICT emails sent to the address aren't publicly available.
