   The GP said "it skews very Silicon Valley" and you seemed to think they meant "left-wing", but I think of SV and HN as kind of..right-wing, in a word. Calling HN "left-wing" seems just staggeringly bizarre to m

    That reminds me that I have a book from about 2000 by a Australian author, called "Ideas Generation". A few years after it came out, she was in the news from getting caught plagiarising magazine articles. Which seemed ironic. I ca
