Interesting take.

To me it feels like golden age of hackers in the 60s-80s (which was before my time but I heard stories about) where everybody is doing their own home grown research to the best of their abilities and sharing insights of varying quality.

But somehow these days if it's not all polished, HN "hackers" aren't interested.

Weird that people are floating the idea of kicking out of a tech forum the most important tech development of the last 10 years.

Not sure what that means about the community, but must mean something.

I think comedy trends have fashions. At the time comedians made jokes about religion, now they make jokes about trans people, or about being "canceled". When you narrow the range of jokes you might increase the joke collision rate.

Id be way more interested in hearing the store how a rando is allowed to work in the USA. He didn't have work permission.

Not a museum, but you might be interested to know that a lot of historians argue that "the industrialists" in late 1920s and 1930s Germany went along with the holocaust because for a lot of them it just meant more business, and for some free labour.

In fact if you consider the question of what's the difference between "fascism" and "authoritarianism", the answer is that fascism is a subset of authoritarianism that focuses of business.

So yes, a lot of it is about money/business/economic impact. Always has been.

Why are you minimizing my addiction.

Exactly. This reeks of snake oil.

I'm addicted to sugar. I have some trauma now? What trauma? My life has been relatively smooth sailing. You're right, this is just a way of creating the "need" for "therapy".

Thus proving the point. The moment he went against the talking points he got fired.

"I don't understand why ..." is a polite way of saying "I have some experience on the matter and have come up the belief that ...". The actual conclusion may still be wrong, but I hope this helps with your reading of my comment.

> The "why do they need so many people" were probably in favor of Musk ?

I can speak for myself. I think Enron Musk is a despicable person, and at the same time I don't understand why a shitty app needs so many people.

In defense of simpletons, that's how the average parent edcuates their average children, not just HN.
