It's really pathetic how HN has degenerated from an actual community of builders / startup founders / creators to reddit-style vitriol and populist complaints about the 1%.
Every comment right now is complaining about billionaires and the problems with of capitalism. Not even about the technology, much less being happy about this being funded.
Genuine question -- is there a community somewhere which is actually full of not-shitty people? I would like an invite.

- fhrjfjc 11y agoHave you considered that there may be many qualified people who want to work on innovative projects like fusion power, but are prevented from doing so because the necessary capital is locked up with the hyper-wealthy? Only by having inside connections and luck can you hope to acquire capital for your projects, but even then you work for years only to concentrate even more capital in the hands of your lender, making the problem worse. This is a legitimate problem holding back innovation.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 11y agoI checked your post history, of about 9 top-level comments on the first page (not including this one) I see seven normative posts and two technical ones.
- bpodgursky 11y agoVery few of those are actually top-level comments. I usually only comment as a reply when a top-level comment makes me angry.
