Just to note - they specifically added those other commutations to elicit your exact reaction:

"Some look shady, but it's mostly good".

You'd have to research what planes look like departing and landing.

But without that.. I would have thought (as a layman) - is the plane doing anything to add vs cut drag? That could be a clue...

(from a toy perspective of how planes work in movies ofc).

Unfortunately the incredible bleed-through right now each day on politics in HN means I'll likely have to detox from HN itself.

It's saddening, but maybe for the best too.

This is a post where the parent has already taken a very strong position/view, and is thinly veiling it in the form of a question (and not veiled very well either).

Is there a way to report these types of posts? Or better yet, to have HN remove all this incessant political commentary.

Perhaps I'll take the time to finally work on that custom Chrome extension project I've been meaning to tackle..

Exactly this. If I start a private enterprise, I'll be damned if somebody dictates that they have a private right to do or say some particular thing on services I pay hosting for.

Corporations are not beholden to pleasing every single individual.

You have to discern what people here are really outraged about - and sadly, it's not free speech or constitutional rights or any real high principle. Those are just intellectual cover.

After all, you don't see people clamoring in shock and about "unsettled" feelings regarding the moderation that happens here on HN.

Interestingly, ServiceNow is twice the market cap of Atlassian.

HN is missing a `word-break: break-all` on their `default p` class.

(Your reply with an unbroken word that spans larger than the page width forced my page to grow (horizontal scrollbar))

I actually love this concept.

Though would Mozilla grant some type of premium version of Firefox or premium support for your subscription monies?

This is why I love HN - this comment-to-comment dialogue and thought progression is always so riveting!
