- hi41 9y agoPlease don't rage and humiliate. Not cool. Not everyone is able to read HN regularly. Have some empathy.
- CRConrad 9y agoI think that _was_ empathy, and don't see any "rage and humiliate" in it at all. Besides perhaps som passive-aggressive such at the parent post's implicit demand that the GP should have "read the entire linked document"... IOW, that was sarcasm. (Not that I've perfectly understood the rules here; does all sarcasm count as "rage and humiliate"?)
- sinxoveretothex 9y agoThere's a big difference between not reading everything related to a topic and not even doing the most basic cursory search. Have you never heard of 'how to ask questions the smart way'? Notice how I'm not linking to anything? Do you think you'll have to read the whole Internet to know what I'm talking about?
- blechinger 9y agoYou're right. At the same time I think some people want to post in a forum or talk to someone. Some people want conversation. I think that's ok.
- sinxoveretothex 9y agoI get annoyed when people ask something of others without having made a very basic effort themselves. You'll notice for example that even my initial comment pointed the guy to the answer (i.e.: it's in the third paragraph of the link). Now, both requirements aren't opposite, someone could have made a comment like this: I like Bezos's notion of a Day 2 company, how it differs from Day 1, etc. Basically, I like people to show that they aren't asking someone else to do the work for them (or, if they are, at least they made some attempt). That's at least as reasonable a position as the one you just expressed IMO.
