Ah, Sweden. Gave us “Enigma” by Phenomena and all of the music of Radix, Lizard King, Firefox, Mantronix, and Jogeir. As good as it gets!

That line jumped out at me too. It makes no sense and only serves to confirm a conclusion he had already made.

Why did you let the article that was posted about a16z and Daniel Penny get flag killed so many times? It’s so lame and tiresome —- powerful tech people look like idiots, it gets killed on here.

That is as pathetic as it gets. Regardless of how you feel about Daniel Penny’s role in the death of Jordan Neely, he is wholly unqualified for that job and it is the exact kind of virtue-signaling nonsense that a16z and others have been br

OpenRCT2 is amazing as well. Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 was an absurdly entertaining game, and this wrapper makes it even better.

The hagiography of Palantir on here is so tiresome.

Ha. Imagine believing this. Yeah, please let me know when Chamath corrects the record on the topic in question. These guys are charlatans. These lying idiots have absolutely no shame in misleading you, and you are falling for it. “Oh, it’s

It absolutely is. Go look at the racial demographics of the neighborhoods where DMVs are being opened and closed. And then ask yourself which racial groups, at large, are more likely to have time in their day to sit at an inconveniently loc

I would have thought Chris Knight and Mitch Taylor would have had a hand in it.

Sega Channel was very similar to this, and was completely awesome.

Huh. That looks like an insanely qualified founding team. Not a big enough market?

Huh. My understanding based on article after article talking to the average voter is that the American economy is garbage, that milk is now $37, and the only way to reverse it is to elect a convicted felon.

Gurbaksh is truly a world class piece of shit.

This reads like paid placement to me. Gross.

Diana Moskovitz (and the team at Defector) is an absolute treasure. The absolute decimation of Deadspin at the hands of Gawker/Spanfeller is one of the biggest disappointments of my lifetime.

The CEO who signed all of those term sheets is STILL crying, like five years later, about how badly he supposedly got hosed, as if someone else’s signature is on all of those documents. It’s pathetic.

Matt Levine once described this very well, although he did it when referring to Adam Neumann and WeWork. I’m paraphrasing, but there are a subset of people who are able to consistently and accurately to great success exploit a bubble in the

He was also a huge bully at Facebook —- it’s well known that everyone strongly disliked him personally —- and his behavior at SocialCapital was so bizarre that every other partner in the firm quit.

Yeah, you all can sit here and make jokes on HN, but you’re not the man in the arena.

DeSantis has lots of good qualities and good positions but his bizarre culture-war obsessions make him look foolish and are absolutely destroying him on the national scene. If he would just focus on a pro-business, pro-development message,

Shivon’s role is to be a public simp for Elon and to raise his kids.

You should buy a boat. Then they’ll have to hire you, because of the implication.

Man, the demoscene. Truly the gift that keeps on giving and maybe of the last places where the true hacker spirit still thrives. Nostalgia is a powerful drug and I’m loathe to say anything is the best because it’s all so subjective, but for

OTG is fucking garbage. There’s more to it than that, but not much.

I don’t watch TV much anymore, but I used to really like Viceland. Lots of thoughtful, well-produced programming, sort of like a bunch of documentaries on a variety of subjects. It would be sad to see it turned into the other garbage that l
