I don't know if things have changed in the past couple decades, but at least some of the members are just regular people there using their company's membership. I went there twice as a child because my dad did well enough at work

Putting the openly biased/partisan (and more often than not intentionally deceptive) media sources at the same level as major networks, digital media, and the low end of international media seems like a mistake to me. It lends an undes

You think we protected everyone's rights in 1874?

Agreed. I used to scoff at the hate "techbros" received, but at this point the industry has done more than enough damage to deserve that derision. This is by far the biggest escalation, though.

Even if that were true, it's far better than an unqualified, untrained, and unaccountable group who's only mission seems to be institutional destruction and theft.

There is nothing good that come from this. We are headed for disaster, especially if bird flu or something else starts spreading quickly enough.

Are there even any more shared cultural moments/experiences like that anymore? The closest thing I can think of is maybe large sporting events, but even then, they seem much less impactful than before.

Cars of all kinds, really. But It seems to be more common in either crappy old gas cars or Teslas. I know Teslas have weird brake settings, but every ride I've experienced this has definitely been from aggressive and reckless driving.

The calmness is a major selling point for me, personally. Beyond just the safety aspect, I can't count how many times I've gotten nauseous from Uber and taxi drivers swerving and accelerating/stopping abruptly, often for no a

They seem to be getting more proactive in general. I was surprised last night when the one I was in went full barrel through a light that was already yellow and turned red while we were still in the intersection.

Yeah, it's pretty depressing. It also adds another layer of difficulty to stopping your own doom scrolling/excessive internet usage - with so many people ignoring reality in favor of whatever the algorithm serves them up on their

I think reducing the amount of news one consumes at least slightly improves things. Unfortunately, my wife and many of my loved ones are targets of Trump and his minions, so I can't totally tune things out, but consuming less news medi

Great movie, but I'm not sure I would've enjoyed it as much if I hadn't already watched Twin Peaks.

It's not necessarily just the idea of evolution itself, but rather that it's indicative of someone's willingness to continuously and actively reject all evidence in order to maintain the beliefs they've decided are true.

I'd say they're both, and it feeds into itself.

I'm with you on this one, and I think my time living in a fairly walkable city vs. previously living in a non-walkable suburb really underscored this point for me personally. I'm failing at finding it via google, but I also recall

They are always incredibly upset about extremely mild "insults". There's a 50/50 chance you get downvoted for pointing out their weirdness.

Totally agree. Learning how to explain technology as a teenager to my grandparents and assist them with it in a way they can understand gave me a much more holistic view towards tech. I honestly believe it's helped me quite a bit in my

The resurgence in homophobia (amongst other things) is very concerning. Hell, you have people in this very thread that are making homophobic comments openly, attached to their real name and business portfolio. It seems they've stopped

Yup. The line about the "non serious usage of 'weird'" is another blatant sign of their true intentions. There's no reason to specify that unless you're upset over it because it was used against conservatives.

I similarly share your pessimism. Ironically, I think a lot of the propaganda that is effective on HN's demographic works because it frames itself in a way that makes it appear logical and intellectually robust. Us devs love thinking w

What I mean is an extreme left-wing views would advocate for the nationalization or abolition of all private companies, so a corporation couldn't fit into that.

I'm certainly no expert, I just wish we could at least use the surface level terms correctly.

by pesus 2y ago
You're generally correct, but I imagine you won't get a good reaction on HN to this viewpoint. Most people on here unfortunately don't really an understanding of politics beyond a very surface level one.

That's why I was talking about Silicon Valley, not SF or east bay. They're much different places. Besides that, a corporation giving lip service to diversity =/= "extreme left-wing" views. These billion dollar corpo

Instagram comments seem hell bent on bringing culture war nonsense in. It's probably only a matter of time before it's exactly the same as Facebook.
