Does anyone on this site pay attention to reality or do they just create a fiction in their head?
Every big tech company has tried to improve infrastructure. They've proposed free Internet, evaluated running train systems, redeveloping bridges etc. and the opposition is always the non-techies who oppose "company towns" and so on.
Hacker News just seems bizarre these days. It's full of people who say things no one familiar with the Bay Area (where YC is from) would say. Just completely divorced from reality.

If you are familiar with the Bay Area, implying that you are there, what would you use HN for? You'd simply go outside and run into all the techies and the inane ideas they have to the fullest extent you can handle. Naturally it is going to attract those in flyover places that don't have any kind of meaningful tech scene connection otherwise.
- renewiltord 1y agoHmm, that's true. This place is more likely attractive to the ignorant poor. But eventually they dominate the conversation and it's the blind leading the blind. That's likely already happened. Good argument to stop using the site.
