Not what I remember - we had TechCrunch for that. Hacker News was for hacking - we used to flood the front page with Erlang articles whenever things went off track. Also pro/anti c…

Welcome to HN. It wasn’t always this way, but it sure is now!

> Information wants to be free Only ever said by people who have never put in the effort to create any information of value.

Imagine have principles this worthless. Must be pretty nice actually.

This is a dumb question given that being funded by a US billionaire is what shapes their opinion.

Why do you put the onus on everyone else to make excuses? It sounds very entitled.

You’ve taken my comment out of the context I was replying to, so none of what you’ve said is remotely relevant to what I said.

I think conflating emergent behaviour with life (let alone intelligence) as we had typically defined it, is unfortunate and obliterates a lot of nuance. I’d much rather we let thin…

Do you not think using a word in this way undermines its actual meaning?

Why do you anthropomorphize companies? Is it to absolve individuals of responsibility? > We've all experienced watching a company we love or admire be warped and broken beyond reco…

What alternatives? By your logic only one country should have a launch rocket. Thankfully that’s not a world we live in because that makes no sense. But I’m happy for you if you ca…

It’s cultural. It is not difficult to raise a lot of money in the UK. The problem is that the UK (government, investors, employees and employers) got so high on the margins of serv…
