Ask HN: Is HN Censoring Posts?

They do the same hand waving in the news mostly. They are not "covering" it any more someone saying "install malware, it's fine!" would be "covering" the subject of computer security. They're covering it up more than covering it.

^ And do you think this is covered in the news? Of course it is, the same is true for thousands of other topics discussed last year. You don't need a conspiracy to apply the generic verbiage in the guidelines arbitrarily, just double standards.

So, avoid all transparency and accountability around moderation and then reference vague and subjective terms to dismiss those who rightly complain.

I bet a German judge will buy your Roman salute explanation after vouching for a far right party and tweeting some great replacement theories. I mean, why are certain people always finding themselves in situations where it could be implied they are nazis? Why can't they one day stumble getting out of bed and tweet by accident something supporting the Black Panthers? Why is it always the same side?

It already has in some sense, during the 20 years tenure of Bill Gates at the top of the Forbes 400, myself (and I suppose many other people) considered him the asshole dealer you'd have to bear with in order to get the goods and get high. But with some spells of being the total opposite of asshole and for example allowing piracy for those wise enough to exploit it. Same for however Bezos was at #1 .

This guy is like 1000x the asshole and is not bringing any quality of life to people. All his companies are performance art. 2005 Mercedeses are more durable and better designed than 2025 Teslas, some would say better looking (especialy the interiors) the Self Driving that should have been the first revolution in automotive since the Model T never came about.

SpaceX is performance art too, it's contentious that even African Nations would be better off using satellite Internes such as Starlink as opposed to invest in mobile 5G which has been working real well historically as a strategy when they ditched landline in the 90s

And quite frankly in the developed world nobody or almost nobody needs Starlink.

I for one lost faith in tech and I am trying to enjoy the variety of activities that a human can do today across millions of domains and are possible thanks to the tech progress UP TO NOW, from now on the progress will become less and less exponential . We'll never discover something more revolutionary than fire or the wheel anymore.

It seems like Peter Thiel was right with his theory about stasis in tech but ironically his buddy is one of the worst offender in that sense, even more ironic is that the very big leap of recent years (the mRNA vaccine which solved to COVID crisis) is barely talked about and the BS stuff promoted by Musk and Musk-a-like assholes is flying to the moon both financially and media exposure wise.

Aahh it's no longer worth getting mad about this shit, logging off to test the limits of my new mountain bike, a 300 year old tech that I never mastered though, so it's new for ME and that's the only thing that matters. As for the automotive side I'll keep enjoying my 2005 Mercedes and avoid being fooled by the hype pushed by conmen.
