I'm sure this site works quite differently from what you say. There's no paid team of moderators flicking stories and comments off the site because management doesn't like them.

There's dang who I've seen edit headlines to match the site rules. Then there's the army of users upvoting and flagging stories, voting (up and down) and flagging comments. If you have some data to backup your sentiments, please do share it - we'd certainly like to evaluate it.

I’ve been using this account on HN since 2010. I created a new HN identity because reasons [1]. Some time after I had reaped a bit of karma, I was replying to someone who was being fairly emotional (and a but irrational) in their arguments. Someone else in the thread flagged their next reply. They thought I did the flagging, looked up the domain that matched the handle, found me on LinkedIn, and complained at me in DMs on LinkedIn. I was freaked out a little.

And, if not death, prison time for the 'prankster.'

My sibling comments seem to all want to attribute this foresight to Jobs alone. Jobs had an organization of designers and engineers informing him. Not only informing, but collaborating. He’d express a vision, others would help shape and hone based on existing tech, or based on how they could build new tech, and eventually Jobs would present the vision and solution publicly.

And Jobs would take credit. And the process probably didn’t feel collaborative to the other employees. My point is that Jobs didn’t come up with these things all on his own. Other employees were heavily involved.

Fitting more on the screen horizontally. Wrapped lines are a different cognitive load.

I personally don't care for the narrower fonts, but I can see the utility.

> the value of the contract had fallen

Why would I, Middleman Hitmeister, tell the marksman I'd hired about taking a cut and passing the job on?

"They hired me for $500K to get this done. I'll pay you $250K to get this done." Now I risk the guy killing me to take the full $500K for the contract.

Amateurs.

You owe tax on an exercise below market value, whether you can sell or not. This is why you get the official 409a valuation from the CFO before you file your taxes. The 409a is prepared by the company's CFO, accountants, lawyers, and somehow in conjunction with the IRS (or by IRS rules?) and is the valuation that you use to compute whether you owe tax on an exercise or not.

>The only thing that accurately values your shares is a sale.

Accurately? Perhaps. But until that sale happens, you can still be on the hook for more tax.

OK, drones are cheap. How about that projectile firing apparatus?

You're offended. Says more about you.

Why would it even be offensive at all (but especially to you) to question the veracity of facts in a Wikipedia article?

I think it's just stylistic phrasing.

"I place a piece of paper between books on the shelf to remember that I've read all the ones on the right."

Yeah, technically, I'm not 'remembering' in this case, I'm 'reminding' myself.

Have you seen the blueberries Chick-fil-A is putting in their fruit cups? Yuge!

I did view the source, but I was expecting exactly what GP screencapped rather than a single line. So, yep, it's there.

Not seeing it. You got hacked? Plugins maybe?

And are, therefore, radiating heat back into the small body via parabolic reflector.

I was hoping for a 3D component to the space the lines occupy underground. This seems to be 3D structure and trains laid onto a 2D map.
