Add ?top=true to make it return top posts. Also supports &page=3.

Edit: the page redirects you automatically to the YT playlist. I see HN automatically overwrote the url in the post to the one redirected to.

Here is the link the the actual service: https://hackernewstv.herokuapp.com/?top=true&page=15

Does that mean that you're only able to work in a very specific environment?

I'm considering ordering a new laptop, and am very sad to think that i won't be able to use its laptop/portable functionality, since more than 30 mins without a special keyboard results in pain.

Does this not feel like a "band-aid"? Do you notice your pain getting progressively worse with time?

I'm glad to be at a point where I realise that it's only that - for about two years I thought i began to hate coding and any computer related work. Looking back i now realise that was me rationalizing my forearm pain.

I have a difficult time accepting that this will be like this forever. I'm optimistic that there's a way to significantly reduce the pain, without surgery.

What is your experience?

Why is it that it's sometimes off by a whole day? Is it lack of computing power? Unsophisticated models? Is it that the "measuring stations" are in specific locations, and you can't really generalize that to the whole city? Will we ever get to an accurate hourly (minute?) rain forecast?

Wouldn't the reverse be true in the US? Assume that actually supported China's radical opinions, while being subject to US jurisdiction - wouldn't they be forced out of business? Isn't that what's going on now?

> You can't choose to do something you're being forced to do, therefore if you do it, it wasn't your choice.

So, SouthPark's parent company has to pay for being able to stream the original, English version on their website? (just clarifying what distribution rights means in this case) Is there any way to justify such practice, from a utilitarian perspective of a net-benefit for society?

It's a general question about the reasons behind original providers limiting user's choice. Feel free to use other platforms and countries.
