Sorry, you're right. It's Daniel Gackle who is personally responsible for the toxic Hacker News culture. https://blog.ycombinator.com/meet-the-people-taking-over-hac...

You know what's really interesting? The people who pay Dan don't participate on this site. That's how awful the culture is here. That's how bad he is at setting the tone.

No, it sounds like real life. Of course HN downvotes this. Dan Grossman earns a paycheck moderating this site. This is a culture he's literally paid to promote.

It's reported in the Chinese media almost daily right now.

No, not everything. But this can be.

You have some very very wrong ideas about how the world actually works.

I'm using DroidAnki on my phone as part of my efforts to learn Mandarin. It took a bit of time to figure out how best to configure it, but now that I have it tuned to my liking, it…

Sounds in the same ballpark as China's "social credit score." Don't think this is satire that can't happen.

Yeah, he didn't burn Savannah, which was by far the oldest city on his route. Atlanta wasn't even 30 years old when he burned it.

I'm living in a small town right this moment where is is all possible. Toss in a library, a bar, a couple barbers, and a fresh bakery too.

I couldn't care less about abortion on a personal level. It has zero impact on my life and never will. But it's very clear to me that it's an artificially promoted issue that plays…

It doesn't "simply come up" Tens of millions of dollars keep it in the forefront of your brain. There is no accident here. There is no "simply comes up"

I have no idea what this headline is supposed to mean. "Vows to resist" Resist what, exactly?
