Hacker News Reader

I thought Hacker News was a place where you could share your views and discuss them with different people, but your comment seems to show that it now became a Facebook comment section. Thank you for your eye-opening contribution.

Well, they did share their view and it's being discussed, so what's the problem?

the problem is that it has no substance at all. it is the equivalent of "your opinion sucks", it doesn't elaborate on it, so there is nothing to discuss either. beyond _this_, which in itself isn't much i'll give you that.

When I saw the title, I actually didn't have much emotion beyond curiosity. But then after checking thus comment, it piqued my interest, made me step back and really consider the ramifications of how we got here. And then yes I became depressed also.

Anyway, I got value out of it, comments dont have to increase net factual information to be meaningful, because we are all capable of reflection.
