Enable the `showdead` option. He was hellbanned for voicing a dissenting opinion in a thread about sexism.
So you can be silently banned on HN for simply expressing an unorthodox opinion? What a great fucking community.
lol he probably killed himself after Rob Pike humiliated him on the golang mailing list. I bet he did it on the anniversary of Dennis Ritchie's death too. Fucking faggot.

Looks like Plan9/Sam/Go considered harmful after all.

Uriel has a fragile ego and a well-documented and highly disturbing man-crush on Rob Pike. There's no doubt that the post had an affect on him. It was the last time he posted there.
According to a Reddit comment, this was on cat-v's IRC channel:
[17:23] <hiro_> I'm very sorry to tell you that uriel has died peacefully a few days ago after having arranged everything very carefully. [17:24] <hiro_> Until the end the thing he feared most was how his friends will cope. Please don't be too sad. [17:25] <hiro_> Remember all the many worlds in our minds that he created and that never need to go away.
So he committed suicide.

Exit bag?

Barbiturates are powerful sedative pills, if you overdose on barbs you have a chance to actually die, unlike other pills which will merely make you a vegetable or a retard.
Most right-to-die groups are starting to recommend exit bags instead of barbiturates, since they're becoming increasingly difficult to get.
You can buy an oven bag, tubing and a helium canister very easily. It's peaceful, painless and only takes a few minutes. People are just opposed to it because they don't want to be found dead with a bag over their heads.

It will. Just about any inert gas will. In fact, there's less risk of barotrauma with nitrogen than with helium. However, helium is easier to obtain, and just as effective if you use common sense.
>>39
Nitrogen should be cheaper too. There are people advocating switching to nitrogen gas chambers from electric chairs and injections, since it completely painless.
>>54
One can argue that injections are needlessly expensive, but I doubt that electric chairs burn that much electricity that bringing all that nitrogen to a gas chamber is more green and energy-efficient. Purifying and compressing nitrogen is energy-demanding, and the tanks will most probably be transported to the execution site by a hydrocarbon-chomping truck.

Death penalty is merely a mandatory euthanasia, I don't see what's your problem.
>>57
Well, I guess we can give an option to people like to indefinitely postpone executions as long as all'y'all chip in and foot the bills. Rapists and mass murderers have to be fed, clothed and guarded, and that costs money, you know.

>>58 mandatory euthanasia
Just because you rephrase it doesn't stop it from being a clear violation to the essential right to one's life.
Rapists and mass murderers Alleged rapists and mass murderers. Conviction does not imply guilt, and the justice system has fucked up oh so many times. Also, most of the aforementioned disgusting individuals happen to be very mentally deranged, so work should be done on fixing them instead. I would agree, though, if they were allowed to commit assisted suicide on request.
>>63
No. Both right-wing and left-wing extremists advocate mass murder.
This is why Anarchism is superior. No real anarchist would want the government to kill anyone, or even exist.

The problem is that it quickly goes to hell when clever people accumulate large amounts of resources and power, enough to take over and start a dictatorship.

But then again, such is the problem with any system that allows individuals unbounded property and unbounded income rights. No, I'm not advocating for a 1 house-per-person limit. It's just that past a certain amount (say, 10M$), more just doesn't make sense.

You thought nobody would notice, didn't you?

Just count killed due to U.S. Jewry invading Islamic world and how many are going to die in counter attack. Arabs will never forgive west.
