Let's keep the hate off of HN. We get that you are salty. We're all salty. Give us the benefit of not being so predictable about it. Spread hate on a thread about C++ pointers. Ask us why we don't use Rust. Literally anything.

  The inevitable snark that comes from internet discussions, especially about twee subjects.

  Now dead comments; the community is generally interested in positive voices and even criticism of the most recent programming language is expected to trend towards constructive.

Really ???? I bet if this had happened in India or China or Africa there would have been a ton of comments about how this is noth g but a stunt and how it is more important for those countries to worry about the poor. Just because the actors involved is white no contrarian viewpoints are being entertained. No Sir the hate is not outside HN the hate is all there all the time among all the white establishment including HN white and colored hipsters in a very subtle fashion. In fact hipsters are very discriminating and they discriminate against people who look older, who don't wear tight jeans or tshirts, who speaks with an accent and even who expresses any old school opinion including calling a stunt a stunt!

Not sure what hate you're referring to, but even though this is a Facebook link it seems to be absent the nagging sign-in pop-overs we see on other FB posts. This is a good thing. Looking further, it seems these new 'Facebook Notes' pages behave like regular web pages, without trying to annoy non-FB visitors into signing up. That is good and important when the subject matter is kids. Their stories should be allowed to exist without some tech giant agenda riding the coat tales of viral activity.

People aren't salty but lets remember that last time the HN/Reddit/Tumblr/Huffpo hive mind promoted a child it was a kid who took apart a radio shack clock, threw its contents in a briefcase, and tried his best to scare his teacher so his dad can get on the news. Suddenly, everyone here was uncritically praising this charlatan and falling for a stupid political ploy. People should be skeptical of wonder-child claims. Thankfully, this kid looks like the real deal.

  This is just a stunt a pathetic attempt at propaganda.
