Great Hill, and specifically, Paul Maidment ruined Deadspin forever. His name should not be forgotten. That scumbag hypocrite Peter Thiel, for as loathsome and vampiric as he is, is only half guilty.

It’s not baffling if you think you are better, and therefore your time is more valuable, than everyone else. And there is nothing more accurate about the average HN user than that. Especially me. I’m the best and smartest.

Good. I’m glad you got the fuck out of our city with your alarmist, non-factual nonsense.

Fuck that.

There's so, so many problematic quotes here. Yeesh. >“I bought my VeeFriend basically because he told me to,” Pasqual says. “I was like okay, I trust what he’s saying completely.” >“I’m Hot Shit Hornet,” she says, referencing the

This is totally fucked, but the sad truth is that we’re only hearing about it because he’s not poor and black. It happens ALL THE TIME; just ask Kalief Browder’s family.

Huge kudos! Plus great idea to throw "Stardust Memories" and "Space Debris" in there as examples -- they're the best of the best the demoscene has/had to offer!

Sure, granted. On that point though, it’s also well-known that he bought a vanity New Zealand passport for the very reasons laid out in the article.

He’s bankrolling a truly odious class of disingenuous goon political candidates who are bent on rolling back not just civil rights for half of Americans but basic things like contraception. Just look at what his protege Blake Masters is twe

A similar story is playing out in NYC with a company called CareCube. They advertise and verbally tell patients that the test is free, and then later charge them by adding on spurious things onto their bill. Fucking scumbags, both.

I think it's more that than no one sane would consider the presence of Nazis as justification for Russian slaughtering innocent civilians.

They're inexorably linked in this country. That shouldn't even need to be pointed out.

America is much more racist than you think, and if you don't think so, you should probably talk to more POC.

For what it's worth, I agree. The amount of full-throated fanboying for him is borderline sick. More than anything else, the current Elon -- note, this wasn't always the case, hence the qualifier -- is really just a childish troll

Elon didn't found Tesla. He executed a board takeover. My guess is that's what he wanted to do with Twitter, didn't have the support, and bailed. Also the fiduciary stuff probably threw him off; I don't get the vibe that

So? They’re a private university, they can do what they want. You also can choose to no longer attend. But the faux outrage over this — “they shouldn’t be allowed to do that!” — reads very hypocritical to me, like private entities are allow

This was easy to see coming. Prestige doesn't matter if you're a public company, all that matters is this quarter's results. Buzzfeed could play that game when their investors were happy that Jonah was incinerating their mone

Good. NIMBYs are a huge problem, and any argument predicated on "preserving the character" is disingenuous at best and racist at worst. It's sad that legislation once designed to do so much good has been weaponized by such ob

I'm also interested in the Quixey story -- how can a company raise >$100mm without ever releasing a product? What happened there?

Thiel is heavily behind his protege, Blake Masters. Representative sample: "Saving Arizona PAC, the Thiel-funded effort that has already spent nearly $1.7 million in Arizona, has launched ads attacking state Attorney General Mark Brnov

Thiel is one of the most vicious, petty hypocrites around. Believes fiercely in free speech, but bankrolls an entire lawsuit to get revenge on a press publication that outs him. Goes on and on about being a libertarian but his company, Pala

Not a single person mentioning this is sourced from The Epoch Times?

This is a disgusting, ridiculous comparison.

I’d say their decision has a lot more to do with not wanting to piss off their $100mm asset than any sort of principled stand.

It’s a good thing I guess that all kids are orphans and don’t know and never interact with someone who might be old or immunocompromised.

Games that aren't fun are work. Axie, from all accounts, looks like work. On the flipside, there are tons of regulated games that are both fun and allow users to flex their niche knowledge, like FanDuel (sports), BigBrain (trivia), and
