Thanks for this, and sending love. The first one was discussed here (long after the fact):

The origin of “tweet” at Twitter (2013) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27045787 - May 2021 (49 comments)

You broke the site guidelines extremely badly in this thread. We ban accounts that do that.

I don't want to ban you, so if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting, we'd appreciate it.

That means no personal attacks, snark, name-calling, and more—regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are!

It was a temporary bug - please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50283844

We had a glitch with this yesterday - sorry! It should be fixed now. If you see this again, please let us know at hn@ycombinator.com because it definitely should not be happening.

You broke the site guidelines with this comment.

"Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data."

The odds that a Hacker News user who has been here literally 19 years and submitted over 4,000 links is some sort of marketing shill seem rather negligible. You could have figured that out yourself based just on the public data.

The upvotes look genuine to me. I guess people are just excited?

I've replaced the top link with a different URL that's currently responding, and moved the submitted URL (https://blog.cwf-fcf.org/index.php/en/tiny-tracking-tags-for...) to the toptext. Thanks!

I've moved some of those links to the toptext. Thanks!

"if you care to read"

Attacking other users will get you banned here, so please don't do that.

Edit: it turns out you've been doing this frequently, so I've banned the account.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

We've banned this account.

Fixed now - thanks!

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Personal attacks will get you banned here. No more of this, please.

We've banned this account for repeatedly breaking the site guidelines.

Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Please don't cross into personal attack, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Please don't respond to bad comments by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50220841.

Please don't do that here—see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#genai and https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#generated.

(This doesn't mean we're against using AI tools, coding agents, etc. We use them heavily ourselves! We just don't want generated or AI-edited text on HN itself.)

> You do not know what you are talking about.

It breaks the site guidelines to attack others like this, regardless of how wrong they are are you feel they are. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. If you could please review them and stick to the rules when posting, we'd appreciate it.

That's not the logic. The logic is: we're trying to optimize for intellectual curiosity. See https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

If a fart, burp, sneeze, or sequence of curmudgeonly outbursts could ever be intellectually interesting, they would be on topic. The odds of that are obviously low.

But there's no reason why a new project and/or an AI-generated project could never be interesting. It's true that many aren't; but many X are uninteresting for any X.

Since those are the reasons you gave for objecting to the post, it's your dimissal, not justinwarner's response, that went against the logic of the site. In addition, you broke a number of the HN guidelines—for example: "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting? You've unfortunately been breaking them in other threads as well.

Ok, we've belatedly changed to that from https://www.aikido.dev/blog/python-packages-vulnerable-node2.... I'll put the other link in the top text as well.

Yes, but not "news" as in CNN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9835344). It's more like "new to you" (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

Yes, that's covered in the thread I linked to. The Economist letter was in 1971, and contributed wording that made it into the meme later on.

Why not?

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for, and we've already asked you to stop.
