yes, but that doesn't give you self-righteous, America-shaming browning points on the internet.

The stupid ignorant masses don't appreciate their intellectual betters on HN. They ignored hollywood, silicon valley, the media, and voted for Trump (with Russia's help of course).

I'm old enough to remember when our pre-bubble, pre-amazon "web"team found about javascript via the web monkey website with it's animated moving arms! Prior, all interaction was via CGI or SSI. I still remember a web teacher at a university teaching a side course, telling us never to use javascript, and showed the NBA site and others. Then a student raised his hand: NBA uses javascript. And the prof, said, "Oh, I have javascript turned off, so I didn't know".

Wow, thanks for this comprehensive summary. Don't forget that counterfeiting formula is easy to do (as a google search will attest). Also, strangely, a blackmarket http://nypost.com/2016/01/07/theres-a-thriving-black-market-...

Stop posting evidence, you can see by your downvotes, that when HN asks for "substantive" comments it surely doesn't mean evidence-based.

Even those who actually lived and helped kill those 8 million people in WWII had war crime trials. If any one of the evil white dudes was a war criminal from Nazi Germany, besides being pretty old, and we'd already have arrested them. Godwin's Century has begun.

They used to scream "child porn" and everyone would bow down. Then it was TERRORISM. And everyone complained about profiling. This at least had a smaller footprint. Now they just scream "White Privilege" and no one cares about profiling. Because evil white men deserve it.

I'm really confused, have all the grown-ups returned to HN? Suddenly after several years of self-congratulatory virtue-signalling, HN realizes that self-righteousness censorship is not risk-free, and has long-term consequences? I'm glad I started coming back to HN. Maybe the long recess from reason is over.

When we trust Academia to write their own history books, the theme is always "sooner or later the truth comes out."

Ah, who took the "hacker" out of hacker news? Would you rather have the stormfront members speaking openly, or getting more educated about the dark web, where they'll be forced to go? I prefer they stay as unsophisticated as possible, openly hosted at godaddy. It's not a false dichotomy. Taking away their hosting is not going to end their site or community. Though it does allow, risk-free opportunity to virtue signal on your favorite platform.

Whatever the problem is, more government and taxes is surely the solution.

Laughable. Strong states exists off satellite cultures, until they collapse from the plaque of stupid that grows around their weak inbreed elite.

Another one-way function? Only people I declare "other" and bad can be guilty of virtue-signaling. Hard to keep up.

Indeed, self-righteousness ruins everything. Nothing short-circuits critical thinking like a religion.

The funny thing is during the 2004-2008 bubble, you were not allowed to compare real estate to real estate.

OKC experimented with the matching process -- the express purpose of their site. Facebook experimented with mood manipulation -- something they have no permission to do -- regardless of the fine print. Facebook is a very bad landlord, but people don't want to move.

You should be put under house arrest for such microagressions as posting these studies about women.
