Please don't make things even worse by posting bad comments yourself. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Edit: your account has unfortunately been posting a lot of unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45412687 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45412687 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45404646 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45404646). Can you please stop doing that? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for—we're trying for something different here. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Please moderate your techie site and reduce the amount of politics and preaching, or else you will wind up like Reddit, digg, and of course, the once famous Leo Laporte, who is now exclusively preaching his politics to his 100 faithful followers.

But the principles we apply have been the same for many years, and if you step far enough back, the amount of politics is pretty consistent.
