The cynic in me believes that this only took place after numerous meetings during which the question "is there any way we can still make money from this" was repeatedly answered with "no".

Interesting. In the past few years, I heard about how expanding the US Supreme Court was a reasonable approach to take. I wonder if proponents were aware of this case in Venezuela.

Funny how they seem to rack up most of these high-profile accomplishments in election years....

Exactly this.
Regardless of the winners of said election, expect a return to business as usual afterward.

No. But certainly one of the best science fiction series in the last 25 years.

I switched to Joplin a couple of years back and don't regret the move. Was able to import all my Evernote stuff as well, which was one deciding factor.

That's an unnecessary large brush. There are 300 million of us. Are we all the same?

"...we should probably do something, but in terms of priority which everyone here should understand, it's lower on the list"
Spoiler alert: nothing on the list will get addressed. Business as usual for DC.

Go read up on the Soviet Almaz station from the 1970s, and reconcile that with the Space Force from the 2020s.

Go read up on the Almaz.
The Soviets mounted a 23mm cannon on one of their early stations.
Long before the Space Force.

It's always worse in (US) election years, and I think it's inevitable for all online discussion sites. When people conflate their identity with their political beliefs, everything becomes political.
That said, HN has historically done a very good job in policing this through the vigilance of its admin team. I wouldn't be surprised if this discussion pales in comparison to the stuff they've axed.
