All these various other proposals ignore the main problem: the original station never should have been demolished in the first place. The only proper solution is rebuilding the original, not designing some new thing that is slightly more acceptable than what's there now.

Draconian zoning laws and car-dependence have really screwed over the US when it comes to housing policy.

- Sideloading only works with an EU Apple Account, on a device purchased in the EU, while you are physically in the EU

Google's prompts weren't that different than those "Get Firefox!" badges people used to put up in the 2000s.

I suppose if it agrees with one's politics, it therefore cannot possibly have bugs, and if anyone reports a bug, that person is obviously just faking it for political points.

I assume the lack of remaining software engineers probably has something to do with it.

Overall I like the HN UI and wouldn't want it changed, but I do largely agree with this particular criticism; a lot of the click targets are too small IMO. (In particular, the upvote/downvote buttons' 13x13px targets stand out as way too tiny on mobile.)

However, saying that the click targets are too small means the whole UI is terrible seems a bit on the hyperbolic side. You could maintain pretty much the exact same UI with slightly larger click targets and it would fix your issue.

Wow, amazing! Let's all move to Venus, the greenest planet of all!

Job posting is a pretty saturated space already (see also: the fate of Google and Facebook's job listing products), so it's not necessarily an easy space to break into. Having already alienated a lot of his potential advertisers probably doesn't help either.

Not to mention their various downtime problems.

I'd argue that your proposed fixes merely bolster my original point; not implementing notifications in the first place is a sufficiently positive influence that it negates the need for things like user blocks.

If I'm curious how people reacted to my comment (as I did here), I'll go to my user page and see what responses I got. This makes it a deliberate action on the part of the user instead of a reactive one.

Not being able to see immediately if you got a reply discourages the repeated back-and-forth arguing that is common on Reddit.

That said, the one change I would probably make is changing the click targets to be slightly larger on the upvote/downvote/collapse on comments. Would be a nice improvement for mobile users.

Are airplanes safe or are they not?

Safety is multifaceted concept and hard to reduce to a simple binary.

Systems of fines should be in places for when the AVs cause problems, with escalating penalties for repeat issues.

Just lowering the quantity (or, as some advocate, getting rid of them altogether), won’t incentive them to actually fix the issues.
