  Agreed. The specter of nuclear war threatens to swallow us all as surely as Azathoth would, and also Uber's stock value is going down. Sheesh.

    This article opens up with an analogy between nuclear war and an Uber down round. Why are people upvoting this? sudo sh -c 'echo "127.0.0.1 markstcyr.com" > /etc/hosts'

        It isn't inappropriate. The topic and content may well be appropriate for HN. But it is really dumb. I'd like to find a better word but I can't.

          If a submission is dumb, regardless of the topic, is it appropriate for HN? Does it satisfy intellectual curiosity?
