xai3luGi··on The male suicides: how social perfectionism kills
Wow, I didn't think there was anyone else on the web who did that! Most people's browsers obey web designers rather than their users.

The public died.
xai3luGi··on Ask HN: What will be the future for email?
That is a pretty serious bug in whatever email program allows tracking images to work in email. Seems unlikely anyone would use such an email program. Which email program are you talking about?

xai3luGi··on HN Cheaters: Catch me if you can
I've experienced the same thing which made me wonder whether there are any control by the admins deciding which stories that should end up in the front page.

For example a magic button for admins or moderators that will boost a story to the front page irrespective of the votes or time the stories have been submitted.

Because some older stories with little number of votes come up to the front page where new stories with same number of votes doesn't end up in the front page.

What do you guys think can there be a power for a selected few?

Of course with HTTP/2, websites will be able to send you stuff that even your browser didn't ask for.
