So somewhere in 280 pages is something that might support the OP's claim? Give me a break. Cite specifics or stop pushing nonsense.
I wish there were a site like HN focused on technology and tech industry developments but without the Bay Area intellectual blind spots and biases.
- lm28469 7y agoI wish there were still people interested in learning instead of waiting to be fed one liners. Anyway, I'm the first to criticize SV so I'm not even sure what you're talking about. That book is quite short by the way, you can finish it in an evening, I don't think you can make it shorter without losing a lot of meaningful info. Seeing your other comment you seem to be stuck in a "HN vs me" kind of logic, knowing that I don't see how a single quote could change your mind.
- brokencode 7y agoI don’t think anybody is going to read a book just because you threw out a link. If you want to get your point across, you should condense what you thought was interesting about the book and make a case for why somebody would read it.
- lm28469 7y agoIt's a societal critic, you can't condensate that, it's already as short as you can make it and the summary is a rebuttal to op's point... HN truly is becoming reddit by the day. Should I post memes explaining the last 200 years of labor history ? No wonder the world is going down the drain and people like Trump and Bolsonaro get elected if smart people don't even bother reading a 300 pages book about on one of the biggest issues of the last century.
- learnstats2 7y agoSince you haven't disagreed with anything that's been said, but only criticised how they were presented (in multiple ways)... couldn't you just do the work yourself to frame this argument in a way that satisfies you?
