I'd arguing that HN should take a stand against the unprecedented shift towards authoritarianism. At best be are in a new era of McCarthyism. At worst the entire federal government…

The volume of threads alone does not tell the full story because the visibility of controversial content is just as important as its existence. Even if thousands of comments exist …

From my perspective it seems like HN abandoned the mandate of intellectually curious stories and conversations and is instead a place where only non-controversial stories and conve…

First off, thanks for providing all of the moderation energy and you clearly maintain a level of civility on hacker news across a wide range of controversial topics. However, I thi…

I would like to see some discussion on the Dark Gothic Maga video (How Tech Billionaires Plan to Destroy America) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RpPTRcz1no On one hand it comes a…

Hi Everyone, I'm in my late forties and have been (mostly) gainfully employed for my adult life as a software developer. Over the last few years I've suffered some burnout and was …

Background: I've been a software developer for over 20 years. Mainly contracting/consulting roles and I've mainly used my own laptop for about the last 10+ years. I've found a few …

> Oh, you're our cloud cost reduction guy? I don't think we need your skills anymore, that's not a problem anymore. That's a somewhat cynical view, but I'm sure there are plenty of…

Yes, and of those last 5 guests: At least one is an infamous sexual predator who forced his female staff into non-consensual masturbation sessions. The "researcher" mainly promote …

Seems like you are the one being uncharitable. For better or worse there are tons of both reasonable and unreasonable factors as to why a large company would replace a part time de…

Hard to read your comment as anything other than defending the law as "something must be done" to protect the poor non-professionals.

Twitter is a private company with zero legal authority to enforce anything other than not sharing your tweets. Be honest that you really want to use the force of government laws to…

Which government agency is censoring Twitter? Conservatives and libertarians LOVE to bleat about property rights, but they can't handle it when private parties won't provide free a…

As another commenter pointed out, Over 90% of MPD has been from outside the metro for a long time. Sounds like you never really knew what's going on here. The MPD is incompetent an…

I still live in Minneapolis and most people that I know want to stay. Everyone who watched the video knows George Floyd was murdered, but the MPD and its union still want to fight …

> I’ve never even heard of anyone meeting the buyer/seller for any length of time Yes, that's my point. When I bought and sold my house I was in the same room as the other private …

The point is that credit cards are just lines of credit. Which typically have the high costs that you pointed out. But there's nothing special about the 16.99% interest rate and ma…

Patrick is obviously smart, but I'm struck by how he's also a pompous know it all. Just look at his answer to someone asking about buying a house with a credit card: https://capich…
