What Hacker News says?

1. sinak · 2013-07-23

   Just a quick note to add that this was built over the course of 5 hours by four developers as part of http://taskforce.is , which was pretty much assembled here on Hacker News. Please take a few minutes to call. It's amazing how low conversion rates are on calling campaigns like this one - a factor of 100 lower than email asks - but this is really critical. We only have one day to make this happen. If you're interes…

   A quick note that this new version of the site was designed and launched by the Rapid Internet Task Force [1] in response to a request from Rt4 yesterday. Thanks to everyone who's helped so far to make it! It's been really awe inspiring to have over 20 people come and figure out both server scaling and a new frontend for the site over the course of about 24 hours. We're working on new event pages at the moment: they…

    I agree. It seems very few people are actually calling Congress [1]. If we could achieve this with only so little, imagine if everyone who feels "helpless" but doesn't call, would also call. It would help a lot more. [1] http://sina.is/call-now-for-privacy/

    I wrote my thoughts on the New York Times's "The Day The Internet Didn't Fight Back" article here: http://sina.is/thoughts-about-tdwfb/ tl;dr The NYT post was inaccurate in lots of ways. It's true that Tuesday was much smaller than SOPA. But judging campaign success by the most important online activist moment in history sets an almost impossibly high bar. Also, SOPA didn't just happen, it was built up to. American…
