Or rather, why is downvoting without replying even allowed on HN (which is supposed to be a place for discussion and enlightenment)? The real life equivalent of this is yelling "boo", and then refusing to elaborate. This is a horrible thing invented by social media: it incentivizes people to behave like booing monkeys rather than intelligent humans that communicate using language. Can we change this on HN?
Your executive team gets it. They've approved the budget, they mention security in board meetings, they understand the stakes. You're not fighting for recognition at the top anymore.But then you look at what's actually happening three levels down. The marketing team is sharing credentials to social media accounts. Sales is pushing back on MFA because it adds seconds to their login process. Developers are storing API keys in public repositories because it's faster than the app
To be honest: I absolutely hate taking photos. Whenever a camera points at me, I freeze. I don't know where to put my hands, my smile looks fake, and I definitely don't have the time (or patience) to study "10 best poses for men/women" on YouTube. But as an entrepreneur, I know I need good photos—for my LinkedIn profile, for social media content, and just to document life. I realized I wasn't alone. Most of us want great photos but hate the awkward process and the
This release wouldn’t have been possible without Cary, our new co-maintainer. He picked up my unfinished workspaces branch and made it production-ready, added SBOM support to Hatchling, and landed a bunch of PRs from contributors!My motivation took a big hit last year, in large part due to improper use of social media: I simply didn’t realize that continued mass evangelism is required nowadays. This led to some of our novel features being attributed to other tools when in fact Hatch was months a
With internet censorship and surveillance on the rise, ie; UK Online Safety Bill (July 2025) and Australia's social media legislation (Dec 2025) introducing mandatory age verification (read: initial step on the pathway to social credit), I wanted a privacy-first solution that protects browsing history from ISPs and third-party verification services, but not one that requires you to be an Einstein to deploy.This stack turns a Raspberry Pi (or any OpenWrt-compatible device) into a network-wid
A new study from the Law Offices of James A. Welcome highlights a concerning and uneven trend in U.S. roadway safety: fatal hit-and-run crashes are rising disproportionately in certain states, particularly those with large metropolitan areas and dense traffic networks.Using National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data from 2019 to 2023, the analysis reviewed more than 186,000 fatal crashes nationwide. Of these, 13,001 involved a driver who fled the scene, meaning 7% of all fatal U
A new long-term traffic study from The Texas Law Dog reveals a striking and underreported pattern on U.S. roads: the hour immediately following major sporting events has become one of the most dangerous windows for drivers and pedestrians.Using 27 years of crash data, the analysis shows that fatal crashes rise 41% in the first hour after the Super Bowl, creating a post-event traffic surge that is now deadlier than New Year’s Eve and comparable to July 4th.The surge isn’t limited to the NFL. Comp
Starting over after a divorce is often framed as an emotional reset — new routines, new homes, and eventually new relationships. But Dellino Family Law Group’s new analysis shows that for most Americans, the first year after divorce is also one of the most expensive chapters of their lives. Beyond the average $11,300 legal bill, the study finds that the lifestyle cost of rebuilding amounts to an additional $23,880 in Year One alone.It is a financial shift that catches many people off-guard. What

Police pursuits have long been presented as a necessary tool for law enforcement, but new national data reveals that the majority of fatal pursuits begin with something far less serious than violent crime. In fact, hundreds of deadly chases every year start with speeding, a broken taillight, or a driver simply failing to stop.Between 2017 and 2022, 3,336 people were killed in police pursuits across the United States. What’s most concerning: more innocent passengers and bystanders died than fleei
