  3. We need net neutrality because companies are not subject to the 1st Amendment

    Part of this realization came to me because of an xkcd comic I read recently. Last year there were many revealed instances of the government violating the 4th Amendment through the forced cooperation of various tech…

  4. Claim: the comment thread is as fundamental a form of expression as the essay

    This seems unlikely to be a "new" idea, but I stumbled into it by accident and thought it was cool. Java source code below: // This class is in the public domain. public class Numbers { public static void main(String[]…

  8. Tell HN: this is a startup I would use passionately if someone created it

  15. Ask HN: social news site for business/investing?

    I kept hoping NewMogul would return, but it never did. Is there anything similar out there? I noticed Markenomics sprung up a bit later, but it's not very active (no posts in the last 30 days).
