Dead comments can be useful, just like civil comments can be useless. Free speech doesn't make assumptions, it says "yes, the kitchen can get hot".

Maybe it would be even greater as a free speech paradise, where we could express opinions in the words and manner we choose. Perhaps some kind of "HN gloves off" mode might work. Or HN After Dark. Then the traditional civil mode

Can't understand the appeal of Fry. I had to bail from this talk around 20 minutes in. Even at 1.5x speed, it was tedious. I've tried his technology talks and he waffles on about generic sleepy things. So why would I make such a c

800 pixels was common screen width in 99. Even then it was not considered good practice design-wise to allow text to run the full width like it did in the mid 90s! No max-width, it had to be constrained with tables. Yep agree it's a st

Not to mention that "too many meetings" is a thing many of us complain about. Just because they might be "VR meetings" doesn't take away the feeling that you're having too many meetings.
