I agree but nobody is holding a gun to anyone's head telling them to watch cats smelling stuff and people making songs in response to hot takes. You want to stop them? Make a better platform that respects their privacy while still tryi

It's telling that people don't know this is comparing the performance on Linux in the comments just based on the site. It tells you how much the culture of HN has shifted away from technical and engineering types. It's also t

I think people will look back on this time as a second guilded age. They will look upon the greed and the ego of Zuck, Bezos, Gates and Musk the same way we look back upon J.P. Morgan, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, and Carnegie. This statement w

Using a fork to eat your soup is prohibited at Soups Only (tm) HN: While I agree that eating a soup with a fork is bad, I think the employees should be able to try.

Pearson is a great example of how a single company can have such a profound effect on the accelerating decline of an educational system. If you ask a soda manufacturer if water is good for you expect a point of contention, and with Pearson
