Hacker News Reader

Did you get fired for browsing it at work, or because they found out you browse it at home?

How was this peer-to-peer Internet actually put to use, and why isn't it used that way anymore? I think I could name Usenet, but what else? Most of things I do on the Internet nowadays is using the www - a hierarchical structure. But were there p2p equivalents of any of the websites we use today?

How did they make the colourblindness simulation?

So are you admitting the downside of such severe moderation?

It's not really a competition about who can criticize the other the best, though. They don't even try to be the same: one is a BBS where news is welcome among other things, the other is a news aggregator. But, in any case, criticism about 4chan is welcome and more relevant on 4chan (in the very thread this story links to, if you want) than here. I think it's natural that Hacker News gets criticized elsewhere: people have high expectations of a news aggregator (especially with a reputation like this one) - of 4chan, not quite.
