I will make 3 statements:
1) hacker news has become www.reddit.com/r/nerdstuff
2) “Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage.” Niccolo Machiavelli
A lot of energy is being put into user driven content, which seems to start of useful but end up becoming crap. There must be an opportunity in there somewhere.
3) someone reply to my post with "this." so i can move on from this site, and find something useful to do.
- mkr-hn 16y ago"Appropriate for HN" seems to mean "HN is whatever I think it should be." Maybe you could start up a thread or write something that addresses your perceptions so it can be discussed. Or you can keep acting like a melodramatic clown with a dog-eared dollar looking mournfully at the last functioning drink machine in a post-apocalyptic world. A world of possibilities awaits.

- p90x 16y ago"Maybe you could start up a thread or write something that addresses your perceptions so it can be discussed" i thought about it, but i decided that there isn't any point. the site is what the users want it to be and i'm not here to "educate" them. great analogy, btw.

- marcusbooster 16y agoFrom the guidelines: "If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)"

- gruseom 16y agoWhere did Machiavelli say that? Let's have a textual reference: http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book/search?author=machiavelli http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book/search?auth... Actually, not being a 20th century inspirational business writer, Machiavelli almost certainly said no such thing. http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=entrepreneur&year_start=1500&year_end=2000 http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=entrepreneur&...
