  This says a lot about the biases of many journalists and why you are likely not getting a neutral viewpoint from many of them: "Picturing the moderators responsible for steering conversation on Hacker News, I imagined a team of men who proudly self-identify as neoliberals and are active in the effective-altruism movement. (I assumed they’d be white men; it never occurred to me that women, or people of color, could be behind the site.) Meeting them, I feared, would be like participating in a live-action comment thread about the merits of Amazon Web Services or whether women should be referred to as “females.” “Debate us!” I imagined them saying, in unison, from their Aeron chairs."

    That strikes me as genuinely insane. I don't understand why anyone would care what journalists have to say anymore.
