No point. YC doesn't want this to be discussed. Let's go somewhere else instead. And/or maybe start something else?

- JumpCrisscross 2y agoThe idea that there is no opportunity in these policies is peak Silicon Valley head-in-the-sandedness. Yes, they’re destructive to the country. But they still also create massive loopholes and thus opportunities for profit.

- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Reduced demand for French wines in the US means more for me: bring it on Yeah. Seriously. My guess is there is there will be increased demand from American tourists for offshore wine country, and from foreigners looking to replace their American wine purchases.

- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> suppose you're mostly trolling I’m not. My neighbours and I are currently buying up distressed watered cropland on the cheap. (As an ethical restraint, we’re only doing so from registered Republicans. Their creditors are selling their properties.) > I am so incredibly disappointed in your lack of effectively standing up to a US president who has publicly threatened to claim Greenland by force Why would you claim to know what I am and am not doing?

- pvg 2y agoThese aren't getting flagged by 'YC', just like your local bowling league is not oppressing book clubs and Ren Faire by not organizing those things.
- lysace 2y agoYC built the flagging functionality and handles the exceptions. This is highly upvoted but "flagged" post number like 300 in this general area. So yeah, I feel like we all need somewhere else to meet.
- pvg 2y agoYou can send an email and ask for an exception to be made. 'YC built the flagging' feels like somewhat non-responsive sophistry to me - users are rejecting these stories because HN is is not a current affairs forum. I don't think you're meaningfully defending the claim 'YC doesn't want this discussed' at all. And you just made it.

- lysace 2y agoWe will remember the American general indifference to this idiotic and destructive trade war.
- pvg 2y agoOk but you said YC is suppressing this story on HN and I don't believe that is true and it looks like you don't believe it is true either.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoThere is a karma tier for downvoting comments. Perhaps that line should be drawn higher for flagging content. There is way too much being flagged as a downvote versus as a flag.
- LinuxBender 2y agoI've thought about firing a forum or web IRC back up just for topics like these but I suspect it would just attract a lot of hate. I came here to escape running such sites but I am conflicted. It almost makes sense as anything political that is permitted here becomes instantly biased and there is a lot of misinformation, emotions and dog-piling from people that are unwittingly stuck in echo chambers. I would also have to find a CDN that would accept the hate. I do not usually implement CDN's for my personal sites but most VPS providers are cowards these days.

- dang 2y agoYou're welcome to go somewhere else and/or start whatever you like, but the assumption "YC doesn't want this to be discussed" is inaccurate (and kind of strange to me, as HN has tons of threads about this kind of thing). I just put the other thread about this back on the front page.
- lysace 2y agoSuch generosity. One whole thread during a month or so. Edit: And this was where I was rate-limited.
