Nice - anything to offer up other than name calling? Do you have any ideas of your own related to the displayed data and narrative?

In what other professional industry can a partner just be openly racist, hostile, and spread Alex Jones like propaganda? It's so bizarre to watch.

What do you expect? a16z-funded and they love to talk about how much they've raised, thought-leader style co-founders, etc.

I agree with the author when they write: """ In my idealistic vision of how scientific publishing should work, each paper would be accompanied by a fully interactive environment where the reader could explore the data, rerun

What are you responding to? How much of the current burden is shouldered by the middle class? How much by the 1%? How does that compare to other Western nations? What measurable effect would raising this on the 1% be? What about the middle

Of course you did, his PR team knew exactly who to market it to.

Laughable that you believe this. Do you still after seeing all the counter evidence? Do you sit back and ask yourself, "I wonder if the world's richest man has a PR firm, one so effective it has me working for it part time spreadi

README could use more work. Zero images, demos, etc. - why put all the effort into a tool just to market it so poorly...

Wow, a shockingly argumentative tone for someone who is just flat out wrong. Beyond the response someone else commented explaining exactly where the comparison was mentioned, the anecdote itself is useful in offering an experience of someon

a16z has become a badge of honor for the worst people in tech (the ones who chase Forbes 30u30), and a stain to everyone else.

This thread is about the FBI, yet you're referencing strawman arguments about DUI checkpoints from local police. Do you have any experience with crimes against children?

What makes you say that? Sad how easy it is for someone to dismiss writing these days as, "must be AI written!" (I'd wager the average LLM blog post takes more effort than your dismissive response, though I wish I didn't

The one word answer is cost. But, if you'd like to instead read the article, you'll see that they qualify the reasoning in the first section of the article, titled, "Rethinking the Old Trade-Off: Cost, Complexity, and Access&

> In what way? Demanding that people who are being paid $200k-400k TC need to execute and show that they can execute is something which needed to be done in the tech industry. Where does this come from? Maybe if you're drinking what

From the outside looking in, if your "last resort" comment truly was a guess to their reasoning, then I'm rather shocked. We're both on HN, so I have to assume we both work in tech and have access to the same information

Ah, my favorite time of year, the wave of low-effort README and library version update PRs.
