yea, kinda of disappointing to see this get flagged. I already shared the Memo with my circle of friends. taking the discussion there.

  It doesn't belong on HN. It's not tech-related and explicitly is against the rules. I know election season is coming and more of these types of threads will be made but they belong on reddit, 4chan, and others, not here.

    got it. against the rules. perhaps the rules need a review imo because this directly reflects our industry. passing this conversation to another platform is the easiest thing to do. When do we start having brave conversations?

      It's not against any rules. You can follow the links on the bottom of the page to read them.

        There are the actual rules of HN, and then there are the unspoken rules. One of the unspoken rules is that the topicality of a political relates inversely to the degree to which it challenges the particpants' biases.

    1. hn is not strictly for tech or tech-related topics (which I'd argue this falls under if that were a rule). The rules page mentions "tech" zero times. 2. did the rules change after the Damore memo to explicitly forbid this? The drama surrounding him certainly stuck on the front page for a while. edit: thank you for un-flagging the submission.
