The author's entire rant is based on the premise of one's income and one's spending are fair game for casual conversation. The truth of the matter is that it simply isn't their business to know, nor is it of those employ

You're addicted to HN but it's probably only part of a larger problem to do with the internet/devices in general. If my own experiences are to go by anyway.

Tribal behaviour online, especially with the benefit of anonymity, it's really anything new. Throw money and ego into the mix and I'm not all that surprised that there's some messiness. Given the current era of hardline ident

If this is deemed to be illegal then so be it, may the law deal with them. If not, I think it'd be hard to say that in the same situation I wouldn't do the same.

Are we supposed to feel sorry, or defend, the existence of this divisive, clickbait driven trash?

Probably one of the lowest quality posts I've seen remain on HN's front page for quite some time. To pivot is to fail, to recognise one's failure, to pick oneself up and try again in another direction. On a personal level it&

I've no interest in, or support for, Stormfront, its members or its message but I absolutely do not support this and other recent actions from members of our industry. The constant censorship and de-platforming is one thing, the suppor

Tech companies are the ones accelerating censorship on political lines, not defending it in any manner. Tech companies, as a whole, are a social negative. Let's not appeal to them to position themselves as figures of social authoritiey

The left wing has been instigating violence since the start of the last election cycle, at every Republican rally it could, and has escalated said violence dramatically since their "side" lost. The "nazis" who came out i

This thread is actually a prime example of why we can't have politics on HN. Even in an otherwise smart, rational and measured community, in this thread we're seeing appeals to emotion, partisan "outrage" and downvoted b

What stands out to me personally about this is that I'm 99% sure the administration could have silently achieved the same results through a FISA ordered warrant, but chose to go public in what I'm perceiving to be sending a messag

I'd be wary about recommending Reddit communities in any form given how utterly compromised the site is in terms of corporate and political interests groups + financing.

Likewise. I read on the Uber Driver's forums that many (the majority, going by the polls) will now be rating riders lower by default and then increasing the rating after a tip has been received. I've since basically stopped using
