Why did this get flagged, exactly? WSJ is "reputable". There's no comment with an archive link to bypass the paywall (yet) but paywalled articles don't automatically get flagged AFAIK. The comments here don't give any hints thus far. I can only conclude it got flagged because it's so blatantly crushing the techno-optimist dreams of the median person here?
Edit: Touched a few nerves it seems. Go touch grass kiddos.
- fortran77 2y agoThere are people who knee-jerk flag everything from WSJ. Usually because, in their words, "it's a Murdoch rag". They'd rather get their news from random blogs, splogs, and tweets I guess.
- arp242 2y agoNo, I flagged it because it's paywalled and there is no workaround as near as I could find. So all most can do is discuss the title, which is not useful. Someone told you this less than 3 weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40101710 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40101710
