Heh, you seriously think that's why I had a problem with your post? I am once again staggered by the brilliant insights into human nature I learn here on HN...
Those look pretty different to me. I mean, very clearly related, but with tons of small changes. Like, the angle of almost every terminal is different, and in general the new typeface is much more vertical.
And? If you'd directed your dismissal at HN readers, that would be one thing, but you didn't! There was no "underlying claim" evident in the linked article itself.
>The problem with these types of posts is that they never come with the context or the gravitas needed to substantiate the underlying claims that are implied by the presentation.
I don't actually see any of that in this post, though I can't speak to the original headline here on HN.
I think your expectations tinted how you interpreted the framing. The test is presented as a historical document, and I didn't see any attempt at commentary on the current educational system.
Hmm, I quite caffeine for a bit more than a year. I didn't feel like I had more energy per se, but I definitely felt better overall. It did take a long time to get through withdrawal.
This overlapped a period of two springs where I had terrible, terrible allergies, which claritin/etc barely helped with. As a test I drank coffee for one week, and the allergies completely vanished. :(
I've firmly stuck with 1 cup a day, though, drinking decaf after that. I think only drinking coffee right after I wake up probably helps.
No where in that headline does it mention OpenID -- and I have no idea what ClickPass is. Nor was it a persistent announcement; it was just a regular story. Perhaps I didn't even check HN that particular day?
There are many ways they could have notified OpenID users that would have worked -- this wasn't really one of them!
Hilariously it was dropped with no real notification, and one day my account just stopped working. I had to make a new one, because there was no way to access my previous account.
Bye y'all!
