I think there is probably still a little bit to be said for curation in this world. The original article was quite long (and a great read and I recommend it) and there were nuggets in it I found interesting.
I actually did try to submit the original article myself earlier today, and noticed that it had already been submitted several days ago. So at least I did upvote that.
- josephkern 13y agoGarry, yes curation is important, in fact, that's why HN exists, to curate and comment primary sources. If the article has already been submitted then why try to resubmit it after copying and pasting the content into another URL? The best way to do this on HN is to take the stance of the opposition and write an inflammatory headline, "I support (unpopular position) X, because (popular position) Y is considered harmful"
- garry 13y agoI didn't submit this particular item, nor did I upvote it. I wrote it on my personal blog because I thought it was interesting. Also that sort of title is editorializing, and that's not encouraged.
- josephkern 13y agoMy apologies garry, I didn't look at the OP. Personal blogs are personal. ;-) I completely misunderstood your initial comment.
- milkshakes 13y agoare you really trying to give hints on how to use HN to a YC partner?
