Sorry my moralizing in characterizing the bad Ad Hominem fallacy wasn’t strong enough for you. In the future I will try my best to moralize in a way that involves something more akin to feeling the Holy Spirit as per fundamentalist Christia

I'm not mixing metaphors. There is a limit to who can create a subreddit which is based on the amount of karma (it was claimed there was no limit on who can become a lord). The "lords" are the moderators of subreddits. This h

There are fixed number of subreddits as the names are limited in length. So their revenue model is selling their product instead of selling ads and that's the bad part? Also, they're open source right so you can just run your own:

The fundamental bad idea being that someone can create a space in which they have control over it and the people who willingly choose to participate in? Is Reddit a "bad thing" too? It's not simple enough for anyone to unders

So you're probably very against Reddit then? Reddit is inherently feudal in the same way: someone creates a subreddit over which they have near total power and loyal subjects are allowed to subscribe and post at the grace of the modera

It's that difficult for you to tell us why the product Urbit is bad? You've already spent some time letting people know about how it's associated with a bad man and is therefore bad, but it's a huge effort to say why the

"The person involved with this has ideas that I find distasteful and so therefore it's total garbage." At least try to argue against the "feudalistic" basis of the project and why that's bad rather than saying

HN doesn't love sarcastic comedy so you're likely to get downvoted (honestly probably rightly so since it doesn't provide great value) but I laughed!

I'd guess smoking rates are very high in prisons. It seems smokers (even former) are much better off than non-smokers.

Yes, and this is why when the other party dominates at the local level, their governments and economies are seen as paragons of effectiveness like California's... I find more and more, especially after the recent crisis, that the reali

It turns out jobs happen to exist in cities throughout the country. Almost all of them in fact. Families are also able to move as a unit if so desired. Otherwise, there's always travel back to them or the use of widely available free s
