    I don't like to ignore baseless abuse. Cunt. Edit: If it was twitter, I would have blocked you. Since normally HN shuts down bullshit like yours, I don't normally have to reply to …

    You know my utility function, bro? Maybe it's different from yours. Maybe I care more about books/code/& shit like that. Takes a high degree of empathy to understand something like…
