Interesting, you see I see calls of violence on Twitter all the time but their hosting company isn't threatening to ban them. And if you mean "me" by "his": I don't call for violence.

Actually I responded to that, and you never got back to me.

Feel free to ban me though, this site is the worst echo chamber I've ever seen, hiding behind selectively enforced rules.

Is there a non-Facebook link? Facebook is blocked at my work.

Interesting how this kind of news always drops whenever there is bad press about Facebook.

I suspect the same thing. There's NEVER anything in this industry that is a coincidence. You might not get a lot of people agreeing with you right now, but just wait a few months and your comment will be spot on.

What does this mean? It sounds interesting. Thank you.

Hey dang, haven't heard back from you. Was just wondering on your opinion on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17700387

I'm currently negative 3 points for trying to start a conversation about the topic at hand. How is this not a hivemind? I followed your instructions and yet this still happens.

Look forward to your response.

Not an Infowars fan, but I see "hate speech" being used as a reason to ban alternative views a lot lately. Let's say he was indeed engaging in hate speech (I haven't verified this): hate speech is still speech, no?

Edit: thanks for the downvotes, can we not have a discussion about this? Should we ban hateful books too? I happen to have learned a lot from historically hateful books.

Your forum is very fast, did you do anything specific to make it that way? :)

New comment by pandasun in "G Suite Horror Story"

I wish I had done this in 2015. I lost the only pictures of my now deceased dog in Google Drive when I was locked out for no reason. Except I didn't regain access because I didn't make a popular Reddit or blog post.

Apparently Google's "customer service" runs as follows:

1. Don't provide any customer service email address.

2. Don't provide any contact form.

3. Don't provide any phone number.

4. Don't respond when people resort to sending snail mail. (Yes really I tried and I'm not the only one).

5. Provide a forum where 999/1000 posts don't get a response.

6. Suddenly respond if it affects public relations. (ea. a popular Reddit post).

New comment by pandasun in "Make anonymous HTTP GET requests with proxies via Python"

pandasun — Sun, 05 Aug 2018 03:23:22 +0000

I could be wrong but I'm not sure this is completely accurate. There are HTTPS proxies listed on the page it's fetching proxies from.

And it's been a while but I could have sworn you can do DNS requests through a proxy.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

There are some statistics on top of this "cloud cracking service" page that might be of interest to you: https://gpuhash.me

Right now it appears they have an 30% success rate (if I'm reading it right).

Wow, your work (GUN) is really great. I hope you don't mind me asking how it works in layman's terms? Thank you for your work.

Thanks for getting back to me. I have to disagree with your first point. There is very much a hivemind on HN, and any comment that doesn't fit in there gets downvoted. I find myself scrolling all the way down every thread to get different points of view, by the time I get to the interesting comments I can barely read them because you made the CSS make "unpopular" comments barely visible.

Fair enough.

Why is this selectively enforced? "Assume good faith." for example? I haven't seen anyone do that on here.

Example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17681471

This was a genuine question of mine, it's currently -2.

I wasn't the first one with this thought: https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a19666/we-cant-just-t...
