I don't think I even knew Gibson did random hobby writing, no! I've seen the occasional pic of his drip on twitter - I will definitely not be one but it's nice to know it's at least possible to be a dapper old man dresse

It's Gary Shteyngart, you don't have to sub to the Atlantic to read him. I've zero interest in his late mid-life hobbies of watches and suits but the dude can write. His fiction is fun, for those who are into that sort of thi

It's not that it's offtopic by politicness or whatever, it's that it's a followup detail of a story that's already had a couple of pretty big discussions. So a way to think about it is 'is this new bit of info

They didn't because that's not a Show HN, it just has Show HN in the title.

You're really better off following the Show HN format https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html when you're ready to just let people try what you're working on without having to send emails. You don't hav

From your linked comment: who never followed up when I challenge them. That one seems really straightforward - people don't owe you receipts for their views or explanations for their motivations. The aspirational goal of the place is

Versions of this idea have been kicking about for ages, you can probably find some other implementations even just on HN (and the commentary on them, which will probably mostly say that this is a bit of a design dead end). I hit this one wi

I think 'common sense' can be deeply deceptive in high-dudgeon situations and this is is pretty high on the dudgeonmeter. There's tremendous fatigue with repetitive current events stories and their generally low-quality threa

I'm saying this isn't 'abuse', much of the time and that manual intervention alone is not evidence of abuse or even of something going wrong. The assumption the flagging must be ideological itself tends to be strongly co

There doesn't seem to be any evidence of 'pro-Musk brigading', though. It's pretty standard HN-y response to repetition. Happens a lot with big stories that get a lot of reporting and we're in a period of an absolut
