While I agree with a lot of the author's points, I've actually grown to like hero images, when they're done tastefully, relate to the product, and are optimized for mobile devices.

That would be awesome! The main difficulty is crawling for the data, I suppose. Movies are very general, so you have a small set of top critics to pull from, whereas restaurants have reviewers in every city.

That doesn't make sense. Objects cannot commit crimes since they aren't human beings and thus cannot act, have rights, etc. Is this what Statism has come to? I know we have the whole corporations are people nonsense, but this is s

And here I was assuming HN was a place for rational discussion. We now downvote people if we assume them to be part of an un-agreeable ideology to the master ideology on HN. Got it.

Or the money could be used for any of the vile activities the State is up to thus ironically contributing to more suffering. Let's not forget that.

'Only'? There will be lots of rationalizing, of course, as to the final cost but this is real money that could have helped the tax payers it was stolen from. Instead, it's been redistributed to overpaid contractors.

I'm surprised these sites are still around. To me, offering your services at 50% off screams desperation or that your business is going under. I bought a deal once from Groupon and couldn't even bring myself to use it at the resta

So in a truly free market how would people get to stores to buy products without roads or other means of transportation? Surely businesses, collectively, would pay for them. Also, the internet is a conglomeration of things, so it's not
