The people who I've heard say that definitely had space to say exactly that if they had wanted, so I don't think that's true.

With respect to founders, there were a lot of well-known founders (read: founders that found success) that were quite young - as the article points out. In my experience, most founders are in their 40's. I've always written this o

I think you and I may be talking about different things. I do agree with your point that there's lots of hot garbage on the internet. We might as well be doing Olympic laps in it. My point was more at trends in general. If you see so

Correct. The car situation is worse there, which is why I think their theories are so whacky when postulated as "get rid of cars" because it fails to be relevant beyond those areas.

The average American likely doesn't want a life without cars. That seems to be an HN obsession seemingly (my perception) fueled by people who have lived and stayed in very dense urban areas. Creating larger spaces that aren't made

I went to a lot of pub lunches while I was there. Rarely, if ever, do I remember drinking at a pub lunch. People go because they have fast lunch specials. You go to the same place at night and it's a bar.

Religion, politics; really anything people get fanatical or self-righteous about. I do wish I had the background and vocabulary to express the commonality in the language and ideas from these camps, but it's not limited to them. Also,

I'm not a psychologist or a sociologist, but I tend to agree with you. I might expand this farther than work though. You can find this any human activity that has very passionate people: religion, politics, self-help, tech (apparently)

This isn't a good signal imo. The world is undergoing a lot of cultural mixing at the moment so making the assumption that someones last name indicates their cultural participation is a dangerous one. For instance, I have a very French

I drink occasionally, but not very typically. It's really just not something I enjoy doing anymore. On the other hand, a lot of people really enjoy food. I mean really enjoy it, like food is a topic that will make them grossly exci

I feel like the author is moralizing something in order to make it more gratifying . > firm believer that structure dictates behavior So every action you take is a vote and structure dictates your behavior. This sounds oddly familiar.

The correct phrasing is, "Alcohol is the worst drug to be addicted to ". Slightly different from OP, it just removes morality from the issue. I definitely understand your apprehension to this idea, however, someone I know very in

I'd really love to hear why you and other commenters are so supportive of transaction tracking. Cash was and is still not very trackable; it's so untrackable that the IRS has to declare what events trigger tracking. Something like

The NYT does run, centrally, what they call "narratives" which I think is what people are referencing here. This has apparently been in practice for quite some time but only has been a point of discussion as people leave.

Yeah, I see your point. I do think there's something to do with a state having a concentration of wealthy people who then move. That, at least, seems problematic. I do think people, these days, are incentivized to do that because altho
