Interesting how this article was #1 on HN a few hours ago and mysteriously disappeared. Conspiracy?

  Flag killed. The unanimity of the commentary on the article (which was ranty, but had some reasonable points to make) is disturbing as well. No one is willing to take the other side of the argument?

    There was apparently only a 30 minute window to do so. HN moves too fast for nuanced counter-replies to the commentary. If I just made a top-level comment, it would say something along "I agree in broad strokes", which is not that useful.

      And, from the looks of it, you would have been downvoted into oblivion for your trouble. So there was a zerg rush of negative ad hominem on the article and then it was flag killed despite being a reasonable technical topic to discuss. Good times, good times.
