Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

even the Orange Site hates this fucking guy https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40133976

edit: except dang himself, who posts a multi-paragraph comment complaining about the title then edits it to admit he didn't actually read the article. Presumably this is the style of comment desired at HN going forward.

Edit 2: since there's no consensus on this I'm just going to reify that fact via the trailing-question-mark trick and call it a day.

Since killing != killed, your comment already shows that the title is misleading.

(That has a beneficial side effect btw: not having my own opinion about a story makes it easier to not moderate according to my own opinion. I still do that, or try my best to, even when I do have an opinion—but it takes more ATP.)

danny, please log the fuck off

trailing-question-marks: the consensus bypassing trick anarchists don't want you to know?
