Wow, this is HN and what? Your comment is still completely out of touch with reality, there are lots of Italians reading HN, some might have lost their friends or family members and look, people are even downvoting my parent comment. Is this really the place you want HN to be? You want to change the world but you can't see things from another perspective? Or show some understanding and compassion? It's not just you, but the whole thread here is terrible, it's like if you had another 9/11 and I spent my time commenting on why mobile reception is so bad there in the area of the disaster.
To rephrase what touristtam said, HN is a place where stories about shootings, terrorist attacks, catastrophic events and other current news get flagged regularly. Just like celebrity and sport news. Plenty of news outlets already report about the earthquake. This article is about the technical aspect of enabling wifi and I see people discussion wifi and cell coverage, privacy and legal aspects of opening networks, thermal imagining systems. I don't see people disrespecting the victims or families. The event itself and the human stories/tragedies behind that - and sorry that might be hard to swallow - isn't discussion-worthy to a lot of people on HN.
Perhaps it's because you were trying to shut down discussion on the technical/communication aspects of this disaster for no reason other than it was a tragedy?
> it's like if you had another 9/11 and I spent my time commenting on why mobile reception is so bad there in the area of the disaster.
That would be an entirely appropriate topic of discussion.
I understand this might well be a very emotional time for you (and others), due to the current events, but please be a little be impartial as the quality of the article that has been posted. like I have said before this board isn't your regular news outlet, and pushing for more article like this one is only detrimental to the quality of the board as a whole. This is more appropriate for FB and other social media.
As for the personal attack, you will find that it isn't the best approach to convince the other parties in an argument.
