What Hacker News says?

  1. Actually, MLK has much to say about "inconvenient" protests. https://www.michaelhanscom.com/eclecticism/2014/12/31/mlk-on... He disagrees with the white moderate proclaiming "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action." You are committing that error.

  3. Wasn't it Belkin that got caught doing MITM shenanigans with HTTP connections in their routers some years ago as well? http://www.michaelhanscom.com/eclecticism/2003/11/07/belkin-...
