Could we get a "root parent" link there, in addition to the already-existing "parent" link?
EDIT: djg suggests "top" is a better name and it sounds good to me too.

I find myself frequently bumping into comments (e.g., http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1178984) indexed in Google and wanting to read the root submission. But I annoyingly have to click through a series of "parent" links to do so.

I find myself inherently suspicious of US legal attempts to crack down on porn because 'cracking down on obscene content' is the justification that the CCP uses in China to censor many things that are clearly not porn.

I'm from the Midwest and that was the response I got from a lot of people when I first started my own business.
More interesting is who really supported me at the start - I'm from the upper middle class and people always expected me to go off to work at some big company after college. Most of the other upper middle class people treated me with this sympathetic (and, I think, condescending) type of tone when I was starting out. But most of my best friends are actually from a lower income group (you'd say blue collar or skilled labor), and they and their families really encouraged me and understood I was being ambitious and doing this of my own volition. Of course, now that my partner and I have 3 employees working for us and are profitable, I don't get much sympathy from anyone any more :) |

I absolutely love Walmart.
I live in China. Walmart is by far the most hygienic grocery store here. Everybody attacks Walmart for its size and for running small players out of business. But you know what that economy of scale allows it to do? Have a completely cold chain for its meat supply. No other grocery chain (both indigenous ones and other international chains like Carrefour) in China can do that because the costs for them would be too expensive and they would lose money. So Walmart significantly raises the bar for meat safety in a country of 1.3 billion. |

That's not really fair. My parents and my gf's parents both have houses with empty space that we could live in that's not being used. Essentially the space is being wasted. I bet many people's parents have similar available space (probably left over from when you were a child and living with your parents already).
My gf, who is Chinese, would love to live with her parents (thankfully she is even cheaper than I am). She nags me constantly about the $500 we pay our landlord every month for our apartment. Unfortunately, I was raised in the US where living with your parents after you graduate from school is a social faux pas. |

Google.cn is still up and running and it's definitely still censored.
Anyone have updates on what's going on with the story? Is Google still planning on carrying through with the following threat? "We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China." (1/12/2010) |

Whenever I see an article title that indicates a list of X things that might interest me, I always find myself wanting just the bullet point list without the surrounding content (at least until I decide whether or not the bullet point list merits reading the rest of the article). So:
1. Exercise During the Day 2. Stop Work in the Middle of a Task 3. Avoid Caffeine in the Evening 4. Set Out Your Clothes the Night Before 5. Don’t Eat a Heavy Dinner 6. Journal or Read Before Bed 7. Know What You’re Doing First Thing 8. Get to Bed On Time 9. Visualize Sleeping Well |

I agree with his assessment. Sometimes ugly terrible hacks are the best solution given the external constraints (time, 3rd party code beyond your control, whatever). And if you have an ugly terrible hack, you should definitely comment it.
