To the extent that it’s accurate: it’s a summary of one aspect of the history, culture, and economy where many of the site users do or have once lived and which has plaid an outsized role in the development of the startup culture this site is explicitly premised on.
To the extent that’s it’s inaccurate in its assertions (I wouldn’t know) point it out! Substantive critiques of submissions are welcomed and encouraged by basically everyone around here. Projections of personal morality judgements unannotated by clarification that they are just that go over, less well.

- benreesman 4y agoThe child comment got flagged into oblivion, which I feel is a bit harsh. I express personal moral judgements on HN, and I read tons of others doing so every time I come here. I just try hard to annotate them as such. I don’t have any problem with, and IMHO the community shouldn’t have any problem with, moral opinions of users who hold minority (on HN) views. I think the commenter just needs to clarify that “substantive critique ends here, personal opinion begins here”.
