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.

Nice. I got some restriction for being too sarcastic about Elon and his sycophants, did dang get you yet? It blocks me from posting for a while if I do several at once. I just quit using the site shortly after that.

they don't actually want people commenting, apparently, so there's a throttle

For everyone? That's idiotic. It's killed all my desire to engage, because I'll want to respond to someone, hit the wall, and just leave for several days. Eventually the several days seems to have become forever. I thought that was the point after dang specifically told me to "be respectful." If it's for everyone that's completely idiotic.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. The site is not about having good conversations, but getting youths to risk doing a startup in order to fill Paul's pockets.
