   Please don't comment like this here. The HN guidelines ask us not to engage in political or ideological battle or use swipes like "comically stupid take". Same goes for your other comment in this thread ( https://n

   We've updated the URL to the English-language version that CalRobert submitted. We appreciate all languages and cultures but HN is an English-language site, so we always want the English version to be submitted here, thanks!

    Please don't post trash like this to HN. The subthread was already entirely forgettable dreck but at least it had petered out four days ago, until you chimed in with this. HN is for curious conversation.

    Can you please stop posting low-substance comments like this on HN? This comment was jarring to read, as it's effectively an editorialized summary of the article, posted with little apparent thought, and doing nothing to cultivate curi

    Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    The defiant flouncing isn't necessary, thanks. The guidelines are well established and apply no matter who or what you're replying to. If that weren't the case there would be no point having guidelines at all. It's fine

    Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to &qu
