I was really enjoying the lack of political posts on Hacker News. Everywhere else on the Internet is inundated with blood pressure-raising political opinions. Now the sewage seems to have seeped in here to...
I don't have a problem with it being on Hacker News. It's not an inspiring speech by a Texan mayor, it's not about marijuana, and it's not an indictment of something racist from 20 years ago. The article consists of real answers by the real candidates to real questions: a good hacker might find it interesting.
I thought they asked them stuff like 'What's Faraday's law of induction?' or 'What's the 30th element on the periodic table'?
I understand why they put the responses on the left and right, but that really made the article hard to read, especially since the candidates often had different text lengths for each of the questions.
