Great job FTC/Lima. We need it and you delivered.
On a separate note. Why is it really hard for HN community to make a compliment? Yes, some companies will try to skirt around. But most of us seem to agree this is a step in the right direction and being hopeful is nice.
- throw10920 5y ago> On a separate note. Why is it really hard for HN community to make a compliment? You can find a bunch of compliments in this thread, and others. Don't portray the "HN community" as a monolithic entity with a single will. It's not. And trying to guilt-trip the community into making compliments is bad form, really annoying, boring to read, and goes against the spirit of intellectual curiosity.
- dang 5y agoI agree with you otherwise, but please edit out swipes like that last sentence. It's not necessary and not in the spirit of "Be kind" [etc.] à la https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
- throw10920 5y agoMy apologies, I'll rewrite it. [edit: edit window has passed, I missed it] Sorry for making more work for you, dang! Can you help me understand what the best way to express the intent in that last sentence is ("this kind of statement is anti-intellectual and shouldn't be on HN", roughly) without being unkind?
