- asdkl234890 12y agoI think it's because we are pedantic. In a pedantic way no more world hunger, but people still die in car crashes, is correct. Pedantically correct.
- Thimothy 12y agoI'd rather "Idealistic Perfectionist", thank you.
- innguest 12y ago> Or we're all cynical assholes. Just possibly. Unlikely. HNers are wide-eyed Utopians in the Platonic fashion of believing in virtue through central planning. There is no cynicism here to be found, but in the downvoted comments.
- slowmovintarget 12y agoNot a fan of centralized control... I much prefer distributed, concurrent, fault-tolerant, scalable systems. You'd think most HN readership would too.
- lallysingh 12y agoWell, which comment would you upvote? 1) Yay! 2) Here's where they could have done more...
- doktrin 12y agoOr overly pedantic alpha nerds, the lot of us.
