AWESOME!

Lots of free lunches: the dregs left over after the salespeople have their noon meetings.

This infographic is like watching a politician spin their selfish agenda into a "think of the children!" plea. Pretty funny actually.

I don't understand why the TC diaspora gets so much attention. Have they earned the spotlight for reasons other than just being inflammatory?

Something like Ars Technica, which is way meatier than the hyperbole and cheerleading that the PandoLemonCrunch school of venture journalism is capable of.

Wouldn't happen. Abandoning user choice and configurability seems to be in vogue with designers these days. We're just slouching our way toward our future as passive appliance users.

(I totally agree - either turn it into a keyboard shortcut, or a reserved 16x16px spyglass icon in the upper right hand corner of the menu bar...)

Murdoch just knows that post-Season 8 Simpsons isn't worth streaming. ;)

Not if the status quo is terrible.

I wouldn't mind moving the articles whose discussions have completely gone to seed into a separate subforum.

My favorite forums are ones that don't allow the discussion of politics or religion. The same is true for real-life discussions with acquaintances that you don't thoroughly know yet. There is nothing to be gained from a discussion when everybody's emotions are fully inflamed.

This is SOP for negotiation. Candidates do this shit too, trying to claim some sort of inflated salary boost for every thing they give up from their previous employer. It's a game and the lesser negotiator loses out.

> willing to take advantage of someone who wasn't skilled at the whole negotiating thing.

What? That is the ENTIRE POINT of negotiation. It's a game. The more skilled player wins, and it's true for job offers, house buying, car buying, street markets, everything.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. :)

If the Chrome plugin works fine, can't HN just expose a toggle in the user preferences for injecting that same Javascript code? A bit of a hack, yes, but it'd probably do for the time being.

What are the advantages in using a remote service for this vs. hosting them yourself? I'm somewhat averse to taking out additional dependencies on other services if no compelling reason exists.
