Why so much hate? Better access to data is generally a good thing. You could use it to build a proper argument on a political level, instead of resorting to this kind of snarkiness.
- mkramlich 15y agoi detected no hate. only humor. and a bit of sting that usually comes from a kernal of truth.
- jessedhillon 15y agoAgreed. Sometimes on HN we get a blog post announcing a new library, or cool hack, or something like that. When that happens, I usually crawl the author's about page and online presence. I'm looking for embarrassing details that are unrelated to the post being discussed. Then, I usually leave a comment on HN to the effect of "man, this guy's fat and probably has never been touched by a woman." No hate, only humor. It might sting but it's probably true also. Who cares if it's an irrelevant non-contribution?
- Test5544 15y ago>> Better access to data is generally a good thing. Yeah, like the IBM computers in Nazi Germany.
