[flagged]


This is a flamebait comment. Not one comment on this article is supportive.


flamebait, that is a great word mashup that conveys a lot. Clickbait for starting a comment flamewar, never saw that one before. Gonna keep an eye out for these things with this lens.


I'm pretty sure the word flamebait predates clickbait.


Here's an early use of the word "flamebait" in rec.autos.tech (Usenet) in 1995:

Google books finds earlier results: It's defined in the 1994 books Information Superhighway illustrated and Net Talk.


yeah agreed, i don't think they are connecting the dots. they are missing large sections of knowledge that would protect them and the lives of those around them. but for some odd reason they have mental blocks when trying to help them out flawed framework


I mean look how fast they flagged my comment. I guess they wanted to prove my point badly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Could you please stop creating multiple accounts like this? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

That applies 10x when said accounts are breaking the rules, as you've unfortunately been doing. If you want to pick one account and want to commit to following the rules, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and let us know which username you want to use.
