Item — HN Reader

I was saying this to my friend about 18 months ago. This process seems very similar to what happened with Steve Jobs.

  1. founder starts company
  2. board replaces abrasive founder with operator
  3. founder fully exits company (except for 1 share)
  4. founder starts new company
  5. original founder company nears bankruptcy
  6. founder executes reverse take over of original company
  7. founder revitalizes original company

At the time, we were at step 2 with Dara becoming the CEO, now we're at step 4.

Why did you need this code formatting to make your point?

Now mobile users will have to scroll right to left to read your content.

I doubt if that's the correct usage of this particular formatting style.

HN's fault for not having a quote format like every other platform, using ">".

Loads fine on mobile.

I am on iPhone and it does not for me

Rotate your phone

Is it their fault that code doesn't lay out well on mobile? Or hn? Is a forum poster responsible for the responsive design of their post on a site they don't control? Do you test your posts so they work well on my Nokia?

If it isn’t code, don’t use the code formatter.

What do you recommend, given that HN itself doesn't care enough to provide a usable alternative for quotes and lists?

This is an example comment that will make a few example points.

- This is an item in the list.

- This is a second item.

> “This is an example of a quote”

Followed up by some final points from the commenter.

I'm certainly glad the originators of HTML didn't agree with your suggested quote mechanism. It sucks.

But yes, an unordered list would have worked OK here, albeit not quite as effective at making the GP's point.
