- duxup 6y agoNormally I'm hesitant to agree with such glib / all encompassing statements but I fear that I sort of agree with your assessment. Parsing word by word generic corporate statements seems pretty silly at this point.
- wutbrodo 6y agoYea, I may complain about HN's commentariat here and there, but it really is one of the higher-quality fora out there. But for some reason, it's especially susceptible to specific triggering topics that cause complete forfeiture of critical thinking ability and intellectual honesty among a big chunk of the commenters (and voters). There are plenty of valid criticisms of Google, but criticism is worthless if it isn't based in at least an attempt at intellectual honesty.
