Hmmm, interesting. What I observed instead was a sad paucity of useful thinking being expressed on HN. No cruel yet detailed dissections of the deal, no examination of the technological possibilities, or posts where people speculated on which competitors in which markets will be impacted. Mostly statements along the lines of "I'm sorry but I am imagining the whole article without reading it", but without even the level of self awareness that this is something to be "sorry" about.
