pidu87on Freedom of speech memo, President of the university of Alaska, March 2001

Is there some kind of violation?

It would be better to state it vs posting a link with lots of information/suggestions......

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

This was trending/upvoted super fast so it was "On-Topic"..... and clearly was gratifying "one's intellectual curiosity."

SIDE NOTE: I miss watching college debates!

If your ideas or views are so weak/undebatable you fear and quickly move to censor and silence any differing view or opinion that's pathetic. Reminds me of a little kid "I'm right, you're wrong, and now I'm gonna punch you!"

Do they still have college debates or have those been labeled archaic, hurtful, and unnecessary? lol

"Opinions expressed by our employees, students, faculty or administrators don't have to be politic or polite. However personally offended we might be, however unfair the association of the University to the opinion might be, I insist that we remain a certain trumpet on this most precious of Constitutional rights."

Seems like 18 years later Colleges/ Social Media / etc love to censor and silence speech. THIS site included.......

pidu87on Ask HN: Which site is best to check the domain authority of sites?

I use both but they are very limited unless you pay them.

As mentioned by jurgenwerk they both have their own version of "DA" pretty much only Google knows your "DA" they are just making an educated guess based on backlinks and other factors.

I found two sites that offer the same info for free. websiteseochecker.com's "Domain Authority Checker - DA checker - Check domain authority" and smallseotools.com's "DOMAIN AUTHORITY CHECKER."
