You know some boomer typed the comment when you read “Marxist talking points”. Jeez, people really have no idea what Marx’s propositions were, right? Also: how is “more vacation time” a bad thing? US working culture is so toxic people think

Sure, do you know anything about NFTs from the side of the artist and what they have to do to get a token for their pieces? Seems like you don't. Educate yourself first, young boy.

If you discredit the article's argument by the headline, what's the point? Everyone may do exactly that to your comment and opinion: at first glance it did not inspire me as worthy of my attentive reading time. C'mon, this ai

This comment is obviously false, but its children comments are on the same level as reddit threads -- pre-made, repetitive, joke-like one liners that add nothing to the discussion.

Yeh but sometimes what people value and like is a scam. You know, some people do like certain MLM brands or even cults, that doesn’t mean those aren’t scams/cults. Stop trying to normalize predatory behavior and institutions under th

That’s just your opinion in a sea of people saying the opposite. Sometimes we just have to accept we didn’t understand something, man. No need to be salty about it ;) Plus, several other art pieces fit into your generic, superficial descrip

It is still a thing, at least in Brazil afaik. My cousin went to one these retreats the other day, he tried to convince me to go with him but I don't like those. He said it was really intense and very "close to god".

Why was this post flagged? It certainly will add some fuel to the conspiracy theories it mentions.

I think this is exactly the point of posts like this. We have created an exploitable environment, that can be abused for several reasons (politics and economics, being the two most obvious). And the fact that it is abusable, makes it less o

Yeah. It is less of a “roots” definition of hacker and more of a “how can I hack the system to get rich with technology”.

The other day I saw a post here asking people about how much they had saved and what their age was. A completely pointless dick-measuring thing, that I thought I wouldn’t find even in the likes of Reddit. I follow HN on and off, usually jus

I notice that for people who are pro-vaccine, this “government authoritarianism” is not taken as, well, authoritarianism. It is rather perceived as the government caring for its people and adopting the necessary measures to control the situ
