Answering on HN because you have to be serious and never criticize and be pro american and enjoy everything including the latest trends and every project that makes it to the front page.

HN does suck, I'll give you that, but until something substantially better comes along I'll probably stick around.

I don't think Hacker News has a problem with not allowing criticism or not allowing anti-American viewpoints.

Everything else, I would agree with though.

Moving to the Bay Area. It's come up quite a bit over the past few years due to the opportunities out there, but with the housing cost and all the talk of a crash being imminent, it seems like an exceedingly bad time to go for it.

Yes, do please be (generally) serious. Feel free to criticize and to assert an opinion, but you should also present your reasoning.

I come to HN specifically because it tries hard not to be one of those peanut gallery sites we love to deride.

Kudos to dang and company. They're doing it right.

Quitting the secure and high-paying Day Job and freelance doing dog knows what at uncertain rates. I'm older than most of you here on HN, and retirement is ever on my mind. It's hard to go all-in on a dream at this stage of my life.

You don't have to enjoy everything posted. You don't even have to read it or agree with other readers. But just like with real life interactions you should strive to not comment on something you dislike without showing reason and restraint.
