Well, if I were the first person and my income stream disappeared, I'm now a hell of a lot better off than the person who has $20,000 in debt and also loses their income stream. Not to mention the costs of servicing that shitload of de

Is it technically ironic how often that the "antisocial coder" who revels in their maladjustment wants to then give their opinions about how organizations of people ought to structure themselves??

If there was one thing that I thought all HN users had in common it was the appreciation for a tremendous intellectual gift and better yet, doing no evil with it. I guess you proved me wrong.

Wait, WALL-E wasn't made in earnest? I personally cannot wait for walking to be "outmoded" by personal floaty devices and for life to resemble a trip on a cruise liner (or so I imagine--I'd never step foot on one!) I&#x

Yeah but for whatever elite Stanford rich kid CS grad strawman you have invented for this uh... person experiencing laidoffness, have you considered that this imaginary person probably kept their job and the try-hards like basically all o

> an anti-education message But since when is all reading "education"? I see a lot of people reading a lot of trash and could be spending their time reading Dostoevsky, or better yet plotting their own murder + burglaries !

Kind of serious question, is there an "OpenPlug" standard floating around? To your point, interest in this sort of thing is really... exploding.

It’s rude but it has a grain of truth. Now it’s silly to think that Kentucky is incapable of producing mind-bogglingly talented people, but you’re far less likely to encounter them outside of probably 3 concentrated population areas. I went

I’m from the hills of KY and I left for a reason, so I find this not-insulting especially if the teller of the joke is also from some backwoods. But I have a soft spot for the people whom I left obviously, and won’t tolerate highbrow coast-

As mentioned in this thread already, it's almost certainly a parody of what an unsophisticated person thinks government forced "equity" measures would look like in a dystopian future. But in my opinion, if Vonnegut were alive

Striving for equality of opportunity is righteous and good. Forcing equalities of outcome starts getting gross pretty quickly.

by mmmpop 4y ago
I always found the story to be a bit silly and hamfisted if intepreted as a sort of a critique of government enforcement of "equity" and given Vonnegut's politics, I find this to be the most reasonable take.

by mmmpop 4y ago
Equity, not equality. Big difference in modern parlance.

"Serious" press covered a Russian pee pee hoax, so if you're insisting they have standards that exclude irrelevant scatlogical references, then think again.

I'll give you an upvote purely because I too am curious about your premise and that's definitely going to be a 3rd rail here. However, I'm not close enough to chess to understand his accusations. When you're the greatest
