When you can easily drop down to low-levels and write code in C or even Assembly in Python, why bother using any other language? I'm pretty confident at this point that Python is just going to eclipse anything else, I've been programming for years now and aside from using JS in browser I find it baffling that people would use anything but Python or C.

Oh oh that's because he's 100% lying. Just trying to draw more people into the scam. Hacker news is such a naive place sometimes.

I just want to say before you read any of these comments, they are being monitored, they are being manipulated. Don't take anything on the Internet at face value. There are no "concerned citizens" on the Internet only bored people and trolls trying to force action out of inquiry.

I mean he answered these questions. The line is drawn here.

Truly anti-vaxx behavior is a mental illness. They are being a danger to themselves and others and should be locked up.

I just want to live. This is not a political argument. People who purposely spread deadly diseases are criminals. It's just the same as firing a loaded gun at someone and pretending you don't know what a gun is. I don't care about what argument you're making anymore if I'm ending up shot either way.

I don't think so man, I think you're being influenced. Paying people to be gay just doesn't make sense. I'm not going seriously argue this with you, you need help.

Probably less complex then a 1, but more complex then a 0.

I work in an organization where the developers pretty much run the show, it sounds like heaven but we bump into churn situations like this all the time.

The thing the author doesn't really realize in this article is that building consensus and making sure everyone agrees with the priority of the project is part of the job.

It kinda sounds like he had pet project that others disliked so they tried to kill it by claiming the "dashboard team" was handling it. Then he attempted to vicariously micromanage the project from another team.

I honestly would love if we stopped trying to square the circle with speech recognition and just built a phonetic signal based system for computer interaction. Words are overrated, I'd rather whistle at my speakers like I'm R2D2.

Yes, Google is mostly spam now. Digg went out of business, Enron went out of business, Google could just as easily. They are forcing a lot of activity now by just allowing people to abuse their site by allowing fake traffic that's just bots. The SEO for every search is noticeable worse each year, it's always pointless to check every anything past the 3rd result, I can't even find stuff I remember being able to find in the past.

If Reddit doesn't get this funding it will become insolvent it's valuation will be seen as the obvious BS it is, companies like Pinterest, Tiktok, Twitter, maybe even YouTube will collapse overnight. Reddit MUST show growth, even if it's just buying clicks and junking the stats, if it doesn't all our jobs go out the window.

But I'm pretty sure they will, the big thing now is to have a big e-commerce advertising component to "unknowingly" facilitate money laundering. Expect spam to explode and be repeatedly ghettoized, it already happening on their porn subs. Entirely fake traffic with bots talking to bots.
