I flagged it. How many times do we need to have the same repetitive discussion? This topic is crowding out other quality submissions.
- wyclif 9y agoStop flagging articles you don't agree with that discuss science. It's not how HN is supposed to work. According to the HN guidelines, flagging is for spam or off-topic submissions. This is neither.
- jshevek 9y agoThe circumstances surrounding James Damore's "google memo" are a fairly clear indicator that we have a growing subculture of absolute ideological intolerance, especially in the tech industry.
- UK-AL 9y agoThis adds additional arguments to the discussion from a person who has a Ph.D in the area, and is the of the opposite gender of the original author. I have also seen articles about legal action being taken which was news to me, also being flagged down.
- peoplewindow 9y agoHow many times do we need Rust vs Go vs whatever debates? HN has quite a lot of repetitive discussions, and that's OK. When people get bored they'll stop voting things up. "I am bored of this" doesn't seem like what the flagging mechanism is for, actually. Or would I be justified in flagging any story about Go because it happens to not be relevant to me and I think there's enough discussion of it already? Seems wrong.
- ebola1717 9y agoYeah, this is the 8th article about the manifesto this morning, and adds nothing new to the conversation
- tenaciousDaniel 9y agoIf people weren't interested in responding and discussing, the article would disappear on its own. The fact that people are paying attention means there is more to discuss. It's really not up to you to decide. Flag all you want but that's a terrible metric to use to make your decision.
- jshevek 9y agoCrowding out? Hardly. Are you opposed to allowing people to have this discussion?
