Threads on HN often take a little while to develop, especially on the weekend. Not everyone here is working on startuppy stuff—there are plenty of researchers as well as non-researchers who have a keen interest in the kind of work done at ARPA and its successors. It's true that oftentimes people rush to judgement, but the community has moderation tools at its disposal to keep things within the guidelines, which at least ask for civil and substantive discussion. If you see comments that violate the guidelines and they aren't downvoted or flagged already, you can let us know at hn@ycombinator.com so we'll be sure to see it.
