Even shorter from 2017: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15859854

Is kinda frightening that this doesn't get any more discussion here, because it means that the people that get the news here (developers, it staff or at least technical savvy users) aren't really concerned about the points he raises, even though they are very important in today's world.

I'm not sure that follows. The dominant factor in what gets attention here is randomness, and 3 or 4 posts in 10 years is not a significant number. There may also be something else about the articles that make them fall short of widely interesting.
