Wow, the documents for the user blocks are very thorough. Here is a fun snippet that (blocked) user sorein sent to the OSM Data Working Group:

"YOU MORON WHO PROMISED T INTERMEDIATE BETWEEN ME AND THE GYPSIES TAKING OVER IN THE ROMANIAN NEWSLETTER, AND THEN YOU JUST RUDELY FORGOT NEED TO STOP!!! GO DO A JOB FOR WHICH YOU ARTE QUALIFIED"

The references on the project site lead to 404. Are they CMU internal links?

Interestingly, I'm at that unproductive phase right now. On one hand, I could fix this fast and ugly, but then my code is going to look no different then all the code I go home and complain about. On the other hand, I can try to make my code really nice and abstracted with well thought out design patterns like <golden-coworker>'s. So, on one hand I'm a hypocrite and on the other hand I'm slow and hardly productive because I am just learning design patterns and no matter how many times I refactor my code it never looks as good as <golden-coworkers>'s. How did you get out of this stage? Please help.

I was going to make a joke, but actually a good answer to this is that users could just direct people to checkout their blog linked in their bio. This is assuming the person you are responding to didn't mean block all URLs from the site; just from tweets.

Technically it doesn't solve the scam problem though:

"I'm definitely the real Elon Musk. No question about it. Click the link in my bio to get 40 ETH, but you need to send me 20 ETH first so that I can verify things."

Would it kill people to expand the acronym on first use?

For example: "Most of the companies I’ve worked for in the last 5 years have used the objectives and keys results (OKR) system."

I'm not sure why this common practice in text is seemingly disappearing on the web.

Sadly, you'll still find people (even in this thread) that claim "of course Trump's campaign wasn't meant to be taken literally." With statements like "if you took what Trump said on the campaign literally, then you missed the point."

So then if _The Wall_ was figurative, why did he shut down the government over its funding?

"No he meant that one literally."

Okay... So what about the fact that the wall would be funded by Mexico? He claimed that he would literally make them write a check.

"That was obviously figurative."

An exhausting stretch of logic by those who can't burden themselves with introspection.

I think the opinion that the title is quite "gossipy" for HN is shared with a good portion of the community. I was entirely ready to just disregard the post after skimming the comments, but your point about splitting of assets is a great topic for discussion.

What has happened historically when an executive gets divorced? Is this is the first high-profile tech company executive divorce?
