I almost instinctively downvoted this before realizing that this has nothing to do with Larry Ellison. Right?
- victorbjorklund 10d agoHaha you saved me from doing that. I was so close.
- alephnerd 10d agoI know both you guys haven't been on HN for that long, but the downvote is not meant to be a dislike button. That is the antithesis of HN's norms around discourse:
- victorbjorklund 10d agoIt is a joke.
- alephnerd 10d agoThis isn't Reddit.
- victorbjorklund 10d agoYou get that there isn’t even a downvote button for submissions right? Jesus
- ternaryoperator 10d agoThere is one; you have not earned it yet.
- BalinKing 10d agoI'm fairly certain only comments can be downvoted, regardless of karma.
- victorbjorklund 8d agoThere is no downvote button for submissions. Are you lying?
- emdash 10d agoI'm almost certain people tell jokes even outside of Reddit
- bawolff 10d agoJust like kings, anyone who has to proclaim their comment is a joke, has not made a true joke.
- BalinKing 10d agoThis is incorrect, downvotes are "allowed" for mere disagreement; see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16131314 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16131314.
- alephnerd 10d agoDisagreement does not mean dislike.
- cramer4next 10d agoWhats wrong with Larry? Why would anyone instinctively down vote 141k employees world wide?
- wofo 10d agoPeople in this forum have... Opinions on Oracle / Larry Ellison. See e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15886728 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15886728

- xyst 10d agoThis comment is proof that "oracle engineering" needs a new name
- piyh 10d agoit is completely un-googlable
- slashtom 10d agoThis isn't reddit..
