That said, my being in the wrong place doesn't change the fact that startups and capitalism are both lame and evil and retarded.
I think you should still consider and perhaps respond to the point instead of just discounting it because its out of place.
- veidr 13y agoWell, I thought I did, but I interpreted your point more narrowly: that no proprietary app from some startup would ever be able to revolutionize authoring and reading works, replacing PDFs and their ilk for academics and research. I agreed. If your point is the much broader contention that capitalism is lame and evil and retarded in general, that's a little beyond the scope of what can be resolved on HN.
- unnuun 13y agoWell, originally, my point was slightly more broad... I'd intended to insinuate that, given that this particular startup had taken this demonstratedly flawed route, and that I can't really think of that many startups that don't use this sort of bullshit rhetoric and mentality to promote themselves, the criticism largely extends to startups in general. Capitalism, yes, I'd agree is probably beyond the scope of HN.
