They lost almost half of their engineering team. Product development has almost stalled. I dunno, man.

Users flagged your comment, correctly. "Why are you lying" is obviously against the site rules and you posted it numerous times. I'm referring to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25695491 .

And that single comment you linked to is from 9 months ago.

>If you could tell me what point you think I should be drawing from that link, it would be lovely. The point is it outlines the companies mission, as requested by the GP. >Because all I see is the first half devoted to the sort of generic PR speak that any company does about having an aligned vision, and the latter half is about what they're not doing. "You linked me a PR article where a company describes their missi…
It was clear the the GP commenter was grasping for something bigger than the actual results provided, and neither that article or your explanation of it added more depth than the Twitter thread alone did. I don't understand why you need to attach such a large value judgement here? If the answer is "Yeah, it was mostly a PR move re-stating their existing focus" that's fine, it's not any sort of attack. >Seems like you…
No they weren't. They literally asked what the mission was. I replied with the primary source. Asked and answered.
>and neither that article or your explanation of it added more depth than the Twitter thread alone did.
Yes they did. It literally outlined the mission and the scope. It provided everything required to answer the GP's question.

>I take it most people don't see your existence, as you are, as a political problem? I want to point out that this is a perfect example of how absolutely mind numbing and toxic it is to interact with a lot of these "woke" types. OP made an benign comment ("I want to work at work, not worry about the political opinions of my coworkers.") and its taken in the maximally worst way possible . There's no nuance, and no roo…
If a trans person walked into my office their existence would be a political problem, because none of my coworkers or company leadership accept the legitimacy of trans identity. It isn't that the person's physical safety is in danger (necessarily), but merely being present makes them the subject of politics. And those politics are generally hostile. I have a trans friend who was qualified for an open position, and I…
Now, I'm thousands of inches away from Silicon Valley, in a much larger town than most posters here. But I think this kind of thinking is toxic wherever you work. If you push out anyone who might challenge the structure (formal or informal) of your company without taking a good look at who that structure is serving, you're going to reject a lot of good people. And you're going to reinforce any existing biases already in the company.

As an atheist that grew up in a religious environment, the techniques and patterns of religions are recognizable. You may not realize it, but you are introducing religion into the workplace. A Christian posts on HN: merely saying "we as a company believe thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" or "we as a company believe you shall not steal" are just...basic things you need to do in 1952.
As someone who grew up in Iran, you're mixing two entirely unrelated things up in bad faith. Saying people deserve to be able to live isn't the same as introducing extremely "othering" religions. The tactics are the same, the goals are different. Comparing these is bad faith.
The Leftist's Exit Fallacy: claim the response is in bad faith because you cannot reasonably respond to the core claims, and do not have any retorts to the analogies, metaphors, etc. used.
>Saying people deserve to be able to live isn't the same as introducing extremely "othering" religions.
The fact that I can't tell if you're talking about leftism or Christianity is hilarious, and telling.
>The tactics are the same, the goals are different.
That's literally what he was highlighting here...
>Comparing these is bad faith.
"I have no response to your well thought out arguments, so I'm just going to disregard them entirely because the narrative must be preserved!"

crypto is political
> crypto is political Crypto isn't partisan. It's not beholden to the democratic or the republican party. Saying "something is political" is meaningless.
