If anyone reads this, you should know that I caught dang being abusive on HN, but then he deleted the comments and the comments he was replying to, and apparently banned the person he was abusing (who had done nothing wrong, other than express an opinion that dang did not like.)
You should know that the moderation on Hacker News is purely on ideological ground... and the culture here knows it.
So, if you are a leftist who hates apple and loves google, you'll get along fine and you can get away with abusing whomever you like.
If you are not, you should know eventually you will be banned, and before that you will be silenced and have your comments censored.
Hacker news is an anti-intellectual filter bubble, and it is rigidly enforced.
Of course few of you will see this because I'm going to be banned, if I'm not already.
But that's why you won't see any more comments from me.
You've been warned.
And dang, et. al. shame on you for actively making the world a stupid...
No, you only ban accounts for people who don't toe the line to your ideology. IF you followed your own rules, there would be no problem. Why don't you follow your own guidelines? Why isn't dang banned for his abuse and…
Wow. It's ridiculous to oppose the government stopping people from getting economic broadband? And you compare it to shooting people with a fire arm? I knew that the loony left had taken over HN, but this is really…
I suspect the regulators who wrote the laws that are preventing this are wise to your idea and its the actual right of way that they are going after. The only advantage that a municipality has over a private company or…
You can't have 30 years of experience when you're 20 years old. You're unlikely to have 15 years experience when you're 20 years old, and you're certainly going to have a different perspective when you're more years…
Unlike most engineers I want to be a manager. But it seems there is no opportunity for that. It seems that the non-engineers who are in the executive positions want non-engineers to manager engineers perpetuating the…
Unless tech crunch got things very wrong, they didn't. The investors will get a base hit, the employees, nothing.
Another example of "Don't talk to the police." I don't know what police agencies expect to happen. A certain number of grenades in babies cribs are going to happen, but if these things go unpunished and merely asking…
Your characterization of the Magic Bullet Theory is inaccurate. The error is in not realizing the car was of an unusual geometry (I believe JFK was elevated, and the seats were different widths apart between the front…
Isn't calling them "conspiracy theorists" itself an attach on their character? Personally, I like to play devils advocate, and I'm curious about what happened on 9/11. It doesn't add up for me. So I have taken the…
Ok, so you asked a series of questions and I presume you don't know the answers so I want to tell you the positions I've heard people take in response to them, but I am afraid I am going to be downvoted heavily. So,…
I like that idea a lot. I know there are some government requirements that a CEO or CFO sign off on various paperwork. In a holocracy, you could have those be roles that one of the Principles energizes.
This is based on a survey of Management Consultants. For those who have not worked with Management Consultants, or seen the Showtime series "House of Lies", these are not the guys you want to be your CEO. (The TV show…
The only way I'm not like the "Us" in silicon valley (if we're talking about 20-30 year olds as represented on HN) is that I have more current skills (takes time to learn languages, knowing 5 currently popular languages…
I'm a longtime Apple watcher. Apple is pretty predictable in some things-- and they have a rhythm. If they had minor Mac introductions they would have just appeared on the store a week ago (they wait until event time to…
What are "DK2/CC"? I've not heard of them.
It's worth noting that the "generic" got pulled, but there have subsequently been several attempts to bring competitive products to the market to compete with api-pens. It's not like they have a natural monopoly. The…
I love BSD and would like to use it, but we're kinda in a Linux world. Question: If I am building a custom hardware device (and we will be in the future, I believe) can we run OpenBSD on it using the ARM port, but also…
I travelled around the world for 6 years and the number one impediment to staying in any country was the visa situation. If you are staying there longer than a tourist visa, and especially if you want any kind of…
I've spent 11 of the past 20 years "homeless" by choice following various practices from living on a boat, to living in a truck camper, to traveling the world living in AirBnBs, to occasionally renting apartments but…
Fundamentals are hard to argue against, but predictions of timing are hard to get right. The fundamentals may indicate one thing, and predictions based on them are reasonable, until the fundamentals change. Timing of…
I've seen HR at a major abuser massage Glassdoor rankings by disputing/threatening them with legal action for negative reviews and shilling/creating fake accounts to put in positive reviews. I believe Glassdoors policy…
Violating someone's privacy by publishing them having sex is not protected by the first amendment. Maybe you think it should be. I personally think it is protected if the people being photographed consent to the…
Kubernetes seems very unwieldy and hard to wrap my head around. Swarm seems straightforward and easy to figure out how to configure. Let's give it a try and see if I can find a good tutorial for kubernetes to do what I…
How to protect yourself in future jobs: - See if they have devops people or ops people. Pure ops is actually ideal. - Ask them about their process, both the design/development (eg: who makes issues, how is the product…
There are absolutely political reasons for it. Both the dividing founders reason you mentioned, plus the fact that single founders are more likely to be technical while when two people found one of them is likely to be…
