Please don't twist language in semantic games. Once you work to demolish democracy, you are not the opposition in the sense that democracies use the word - e.g. somebody who disagrees with government policy, but not with the constitutional order itself. You instead become an enemy of democracy and of our society . Democratic states have defense mechanisms against that sort of putschist - jail is not some fantasy, but…

I wouldn't take them too seriously, there's strong indication that they're just trolling for the lols and aren't interested in an actually substantive discussion.

The far-right is never just joking or doing things for the lols. It is a thin shield to prevent being called out.

I think SaaS pricing model has long been abusive. So, you have a platform, which takes real money to build and maintain. But then you build features on top of that platform, where some features are build-once and require not a lot of maintenance and no additional expenses - the code is just sitting there doing the stuff. Then you request additional money for that feature, which is effectively free for you. Unlike phy…

The price of something is not necessarily the function of the cost of producing it. It is the value to the buyer. Of course, you have edge cases on both sides of the scale, some things are of less value (to some markets) than the cost of producing them, and some things are of high value when producing them costs almost nothing. That's part of why free markets are so great, they are value-oriented and not only cost-based.

Please don't post national/regional slurs to HN. I agree that it's different when you're part of the group, but from a moderation point of view the effect on the threads ends up being bad anyway. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Thank you for pointing that out. Fair point. Sorry for spoiling the atmosphere.

Don't worry! it happens naturally because it's the way people speak in small conversations, and in that context perfectly ok.

The unnatural part is us trying to steer this large/public conversation away from the standards of small/private conversation, which is basically impossible but also a must, if HN isn't to self-destruct.

Edit: there's an additional twist, too, which is that HN's form factor feels like a smaller and more intimate conversation than it really is. That's great in many ways! But it obscures the fact that when people post here, they're really broadcasting to a large audience.
