If the author reads this (or anyone else cares to chime in), are there any other symptoms that were/are noticed?

Here is the link of interest: https://dangoodspeed.com/covid/total-cases-since-june

discussion about this from last night:

My question wasn't about flagged status, it was about why this story was not on the frontpage (even though several posts about it at the time had tons of up votes and weren't flagged). I'm assuming the mods were preventing those posts from hitting the frontpage.

> Articles about Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, or Chelsea Manning would also be subject to those rules.

Agreed. This is selective censorship by the HN moderators (which is fine, as it's clearly up to them as to what's deemed important here, but the rules for being flagged need to be more clear in this manner then).

> Political issues as at least typically have different perspectives to discuss, people-facts do not.

If people-facts do not have different perspectives to discuss, then why would the death of someone (regardless of who they are) be relevant to HN (even though they are routinely on the frontpage)? Or as user "bdcravens" wrote above, then "Articles about Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, or Chelsea Manning would also be subject to those rules", but are also routinely on the frontpage.

Trump saying him and Melania testing positive for the Coronavirus four weeks out from the presidential election is huge news. This story is not about politics (i.e. about a political issue), it is about a political/world leader and his wife.

Edit: So "TV news" covering the newest iPhone release would probably be off-topic too then based on this reasoning, but this seems to reliably hit the front page of HN everytime Apple does so. Apologies for the bad example.

Agreed. This is critical.

Reminds me of the Pied Piper ad from Silicon Valley:

Totally agree. The only registrar I trust less than GoDaddy is Network Solutions (which isn't saying much because they're both garbage).

I asked this exact question about a week ago:

Montana, ND and Wyoming are pretty seriously different than Norway or New Zealand.

I'd love to move to Norway or Iceland.

I saw Terminator when I was very young and more recently, Ex Machina was pretty great regarding what "passing" the Turing test might look like.

I'm curious why say that it has already happened? Linux is generally reported to only have 1-2% market share for personal computers.

If it didn't matter, than why would someone pay thousands of dollars (or more) to a squatter for the .com when the .co (or .whatever) was still available? Maybe it matters less for landing pages for phone apps, but otherwise it seems like it does matter for sites primarily accessed for usage via browser.

If it were (literally) "the complete end of the world", I don't think you'd need to prepare -- I mean, I know this is just semantics, but the end would be just that.

And I get that's not what the article is actually saying, but the title is very clickbaity.

Most relevant reply I've ever seen.

You don't really believe this -- .com's obviously matter the most, but many good .coms are being squatted. If domain names (and extensions) didn't matter, then there wouldn't be such demand for some extensions and not others.

I haven't launched yet. And no, I have the .co and .io for a specific domain name, I'm just wondering what folks think seems better nowadays?

The interview process for developer/engineering roles.

Taptu (rss reader app)

Google news and weather app (not the horrible new Google news app with all those annoying animations)

Flagship/higher-end phones with a headphone jack

I've seen Los Angeles being called 'silicon beach' (around Venice and Santa Monica) and I've read that the Midwest (Omaha I think) is being referred to as 'silicon prairie'.

Yea, would love to know if they have an open office floor plan before going through the whole interview process and without having to ask.

pretty vague there -- what do you mean data firm?...like a consultancy? I mean, OP didn't specify what type of business to start, but in some sense pretty much all tech start-ups are data firms.

Would this be covered under the new sports betting legalization?

exactly. that's why I'm wondering what other tld's people are adopting when the .com is gone (if that happens to be the case).

This captures it pretty well:
