Meh, I generally agree with the laws of my country and of the EU, so I don’t really care if they can obtain a warrant to wiretap me. I prefer to live in a society where law enforcement can be effective (with checks!) than one where bad thi

Writing to think is what we all do here and on other social media. It’s no different, and I think too few people realize that. In fact, writing for others to read is better, as it exposes your thinking to critical evaluation. More people s

What? No, the article is interesting. Seriously how do people see comments like yours and think HN is any kind of special?

? How is dang so certain he (has) the correct position on anything, if he can't consider other points of view? How can he understand others actions if he will not listen to their attempts to explain their motivations? He doesn't

Should probably tell people that's from 2018, and the FT article is from today. [0] Unless, of course, you wouldn't want people to know that! (: [0] https://web.archive.org/web/20180208022213/https:/

Not pointless for those of us who have an FT subscription…

No, dang is objectively terrible at moderation. Just look at his comments history to understand how bad he is at dealing with issues. Zero effort to mediate or perspective take; dang’s first impression is the only view that matters, regar

a) I cannot emphasize this enough, but... So. Does. HN. It's actually a lot worse here, because it's faux intellectualism. The "hugboxing" here is so much more egregious, because people think they're above it. b)

Unfortunately that’s probably true, despite the facts that a) Reddit is a gigantic mixed bag of quality, and thinking Reddit is “all bad” is admitting to not understanding how to use it, and b) being unable to understand that the category i

Hacker News is in absolutely no way a “masterpiece”; it’s a site, one of many, that aggregates articles, sorted by popularity. Because it’s run by the largest startup accelerator in the world, it attracts people other sites don’t. The only

I don't think you're really appreciating how similar your argument is to that of an anti-vaxxer.

You definitely did screw up, but imagine how much bigger your screwup will be if you don’t do anything about it now. 33 should look a lot better for you, focus on that. You’ve identified the thing you wish you had done, and you have the ti

No, he isn't. Being able to live in any one particular city is not an inherent right of humanity. It's perfectly reasonable to be priced out of some areas of the world, there is nothing at all wrong with that as a general concept

It’s not possible because there is limited space. Someone loses, always. There is no version of reality where everyone who wants to live in San Francisco gets to. You can disagree with how we divvy up SF but claiming you should get to li

The world exists beyond San Francisco, you are not entitled to one specific city.

I empathize for you, I do, but nothing you've said here means you deserve to live in San Francisco and a) not somewhere else or b) more than anyone else. You do not deserve to live in San Francisco. Sorry. What's probably a b

Sorry but with all due respect, "too bad, go live in the middle of nowhere" is absolutely an acceptable answer. You're acting like you're entitled to live where ever you want, but the simple reality is that this is

The scale seems inconsistent between renderings. In one photo it's a 1/4th of an iPad, in another it's 1/2.

Probably copyright takedowns, considering how poorly the Trump campaign has tracked those over the course of the campaign(s).
