About dvfjsdhgfv

When commenting on HN, the most important thing for me is to make sure I speak my mind rather than conform to common opinions/gather the karma etc. In this way I contribute to reducing the filter bubble that is present in all online communities, including HN. Speak your mind, that's what matters.

    It's a very heavy hammer. I used it in the way you describe and after double-checking noticed some crucial details were missed and certain facts were subtly misrepresented. But I a…
