Fortunately, you can do both.

Diversity is, on it's own, something that's been shown to improve decision making proficiency.

You should read the article, it does a very good job of outlining exactly how conclusive this finding is.

"The best person for the job", as you say, is the diverse pick.

SSH is a protocol, not an implementation, all your complaints are just engineering problems.

I'm playing the odds, and using my judgement. Combined, this submission is most certainly not what PG had in mind when he founded HN.

Their strategy probably works for funding reasons, but I wish a more moderate voice would pick up the net neutrality cause, so I'd finally have a place to send my money.

Politics is off topic, that's clear to anyone who reads the rules. Don't make this about you or me, that's pointless and small.

This is super duper off-topic for HN...
