- dang 2y agoNot all—for example, there was this megathread a couple days ago: DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43112084 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43112084 - Feb 2025 (1644 comments) Why not more? The short answer is that avoiding too much repetition is core to HN. For a longer answer, follow the links I posted elsewhere in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43142645 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43142645 - they'll give you more material on this than you could possibly want to read. > Sometimes there is a crossover between tech and politics so there needs to be some slack. That's how we look at it too. For more, see the links at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43142682 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43142682. These also point to years' worth of explanations (which you may or may not want), but all the common questions have been answered many times there.
