It's missing a top-level post which makes an analogy, which turns into a ten-deep thread of people arguing entirely about the analogy, the friendly article having been completely forgotten.

Damn, I was afraid this was going to be someone stealing my genius idea. Gladly it was just tangential to that idea. Idea: Train an ai to construct entire threads based on the input of the title and link. There should be plenty of training material, and frankly I think it would be hilariously similar to the real threads. When new submissions are added to HN, the system will fetch the title and link, and predict the e…

That’s what this site is. You’ve been talking to a machine all this time. Do you really think a person would have this much time to argue day in and day out over systemd? That that many people care wherever or not Go has generics and which other languages does them best? That rust somehow is the cure for everything from game engines to the common cold? Think about all the times a “person” stated something was Turing…

As a programmer, I think we can improve performance if we multithread, containerise, microservice, and store n-depth JSON in a No-SQL database. As a Python programme…

"As an American poster, I will get really upset about the idea of GDPR applying to US companies that do business with EU citizens and businesses. I will also complain about other EU regulations, because regulation is bad, stifles innovation and we don't need it in the land of the free, unless the state is California."
