I’m not a fan of our (the US) involvement in this conflict. That said it seems like a properly executed precision strike. The school is 200m from the Tomahawk impact. Is the intent of the article to showcase American precision or to imply the school was hit? I’m confused.

I really needed this 20 years ago.

I worked in the Pennzoil building (mentioned). It was a horrible waste of space, for what? A couple of nondescript black triangles? They could have had so much more leasable space and the floors wouldn't have been these odd shaped low ceiling caverns to make up for the loss of useable space. Just think, each of those triangular towers needs its own core with plumbing and elevator shafts. Good grief.

I really like the part where the article was phone friendly.
Seriously how does anyone make money with a website where the actual content is so obscured by ads that users don’t bother coming back?
You had me until "Please support HTTP basic auth for client authentication".
OAuth 2.1 draft spec emphasizes that basic auth is no longer preferred. I read that to mean: MAY, or perhaps even SHOULD NOT.

"Coincidentally, Lynch's co-defendant, Stephen Chamberlain, who was also acquitted, died the day of the storm after being hit by a car on Saturday morning in Stretham, England."
Coincidentally indeed.
"Other missing individuals have been identified by The Independent as: Christopher Morvillo, a lawyer who had represented Lynch and wife Neda Morvillo; Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of investment bank Morgan Stanley International and wife Judy Bloomer."
Oh.
Nothing will compare to standing in a book store as a teen reading Mother Earth Mother Board, published in wired, while my Coke got warm.

Has anyone else read the story of the astronaut onboard ISS who lost it (if I recall it was over a romantic interest) and destroyed the toilet and drilled a hole in the space station?
Hacker News is not the audience for “haters gonna hate”.
The list of similarly cynical responses to great innovations and great businesses is a long one here.
