Ok, I'll remember from now on that a comfortable temperature is an "inalienable right" whereas just general freedom is simply a "right of a citizen" or something. The hoops people are jumping through to not acknowle

I have the occasional comment that goes negative and it’s never been an issue whatsoever. It’s possible then that HN has some other criteria that are limiting you? Possibly you go negative very often or something. I’ve also not hit a rate l

I have a comment from earlier today that is downvoted to -4 and I can reply to it and other comments just fine. This has always been true for me.

> Being down voted on HN is really annoying because it won't let you reply if your down voted. Even to replies to your comment. Thanks for your comments, I'll try and reply tomorrow! This is wildly untrue.

Generally very different standards are applied when speaking about actions during a war against belligerents and those actions taken after a war against a subjugated people.

The author of the comment didn’t quibble about this in their reply nor is my characterization an inordinate one. The author is making a clear comparison between the “central planning” of mega-scale retailers and Gosplan. It’s implied that t

My family runs a business that sells to WalMart and I worked in merchandising in mega-scale retail briefly and this is 98% bull shit that is either done because you've bought whole hog insane narratives or are trying to fit your own. T

The propublica tax leak is monstrously fucked up and I'm constantly shocked at how little anyone seems to question the validity of using personal IRS records for reporting.

Yeah, I really can't imagine how one would class it as healthy let alone even a serious competition. x86 and ARM, however, are starting to have a real battle with ARM owning mobile, making headwinds into laptops and desktops at Apple a

It really is ripe for disruption. Will need significant upfront capital infusions, though, and really the ultimate play is on the cloud or possibly blockchain which has some bootstrapping issues. Watching this space closely.

> Most of the poor and middle (spare me the lecture about how someone grossing 200k+ is middle because they're unwilling to suffer a longer commute or live where the schools are slightly worse) don't have a mortgage on a house.

I have absolutely zero ability to take your descriptions and convert them into an understanding of what you're trying to convey. Like what could this possibly mean??? > ...which is like a mouth full of down feather.

> Conditions like "don't sell cheaper elsewhere" are gross across the board, but the fundamental point doesn't seem valid. It's Matt Stoller. The point is the tone, not the facts/interpretation being valid.

It's amazing how writing with a certain tone can totally change how people would react to basic facts. Not that Stoller doesn't manipulate basic facts anyway. The A brief word on numbers is hilarious given his preceding paragrap

Then it seems like your replying to me with your experience not matching isn’t very reasonable, eh? I’m being very explicit about the US SV/NYC/SEA experience.
