>You've gotta love the PR bullshit of it all.

You have no supporting statements or evidence backing up this claim.

Thank you.

>"well trodden problem" does not make it any easier.

Yes it does.

You literally are being dishonest.

Because almost everything he said reads like a really generic right-wing narrative shaping about media manipulation, complete with conspiracy theory accessories. Like the most egregious one he included in that thread involves a total misunderstanding of publication dates and general time zones.

Don't read that thread and expect to learn much or gain insight, save for the fact that Blizzard really messed up here.

What about the things you can't say on HN

I love people like you. I truly do.

This was so so easy to find, yet you somehow managed to accomplish not finding it. You then went through the effort of creating a post on HN pretending that this information didn't exist. Just to make some point because you got insufferably offended about data.

>These seem like "those who live in glass houses should not throw bricks" positions to me.

The level of disingenuous discourse allowed on this forum is silly.

>Are these things true of Chicago & Austin as well,

Those are populous cities.

>in response to an article about a person who is miserable living in a garage.

Something something anecdotes.

HN is complete garbage holy shit.

You literally actively went out of your way to ignore information easily accessible within 15 seconds of a simple google search, directly from the CDC.

It's actually kind of funny you devoted that much effort into making yourself feel right, while not even being able to negate what was said with any kind of substantial source.

>Hundreds of millions of other Americans do fine not living in the Bay Area.

Do they though? Not sure why you singled out the bay area, but populations in less populated, non-coastal regions do pretty poor all around.

* Not as well educated

* Lower incomes

* Less savings

* Higher chance of medical issues

* Drug issues

* Higher suicide rates

* Pockets of STD's spikes that happen every few years

I'll pay the extra $1000 a month to be surrounded by good food and constructive outlets.

>This is one of the things MS Entity Framework gets right - it enforces the "start with FROM"

It gets it "right" (right being a very loosely defined term here) by happenstance, because you're operating off of an object. Not because it was some higher level design choice or discussion.

>Whether Boeing or the pilots is at fault is, from a safety perspective, irrelevant.

It's quite literally the most relevant talking point in this entire conversation.

Honestly what's the point in prosecuting these crimes? Like objectively, in comparison, with precedence, with philosophical consideration to every reasonable extent, there is practically no point in expending the amount of effort that the justice system exerts on these types of crimes.

It almost makes you question why the justice system is motivated or incentivized to prosecute these types of crimes, to expend more judicial insight and energy, to display the overt and given power of government against a crime that has essentially harmed no one to any practical degree.

>Education is overvalued, Capital is under appreciated

Is this HN satire?

>The idea that if you see something unmoderated, it must mean that the moderators secretly agree with it, is a monster of a non sequitur.

Yes. That's what happens when you provide a self-publishing system. You agree to that contract whether you want to or not.

And it's not just this comment. It happens all the time.

>That's why the site guidelines ask you to flag bad comments

I literally cannot do that. Surely you know that.

>Fortunately, another user chose to follow the site guidelines and did so.

You don't think it's a problem that only one other user decided to _email_ you a problem. Doesn't that indicate a problem with the site culture?

I'm one person, a consumer of this site. Not a moderator. I called attention to it using the one capability given to me on this site. Saying "that's not good enough" is extremely asinine when I literally am not able to do anything else on the site.

Hello HN mods? Are you okay? Are you okay dannie?

The community has brought attention to this account multiple times with no actual action on your part.

I guess you might be too busy tone policing, as per usual: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20993139

Yeah, I shared it with this forum. When I linked to your comments.

>which I must deduce is you going through and downvoting all my posts?

I haven't touched a single post of yours, and indeed it is impossible for me downvote _anyone_ with the current status of my account.

Pretty poor theory for a pretty poor person.

This comment is a dog whistle.

Why are HN moderators allowing this account to post comments on this forum?

Here is a previous comment on this account:

>tBut the progressive revolution has entirely skipped over the struggles of non-Jewish whites merely because of their skin color.

and another one:

>Let's just be honest here, the only people experiencing fall-out from the Epstein case are not Je-yank

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20918028

It is very very concerning that HN moderators police tone but not substance and allows accounts like this one to proliferate conspiracy theories.

>Almost everyone whose work would be protected by software patents, is fervently opposed to them.

Please provide some kind of basis to this claim.

If you're going to make a comparison you should do so where there is both power and information parity with the entity in question.

Not only am I not a commercial entity engaging in trade with these organizations, but it is technically impossible for me as a singular individual with no over all commercial power to engage in commerce in any form without involving Chinese products. And there are plenty of cases where people unknowingly do this despite their best efforts.

I can tell you this though: I'm not the commercial entity making a conscious and forthright decision to do it. And the products I interact with are not designed with the express purpose and utility of crowd control, however right or wrong.

The question you're proposing isn't equivalent to what's being discussed and is kind of just silly.

There is nothing practical about your stance though, so you can't really call it realpolitik. You are being overly charitable about how you've arrived at your position.

>it's an empty feel-good gesture.

Not really, by not continuing trade you lend less credence to the actions of the government.

You think you're being intelligent about what's happening here but it's really just a case of you not understanding how actions are perceived by other organizations.

If so, that doesn't excuse American citizens profiting off the suppression of civilians in other countries.

He's trying to frame the conversation in such a way that makes it seem like criticism of Assange is inherently misconstrued and misplaced, rendering it ineffectual.

He's clearly got a bone to pick and it isn't a truth bone.

>We should make up our minds about stuff like this

Why?

>It's a common figure of speech

Only for certain audiences of a particular age group.

It's not globally common. It's commonality doesn't remove the other characteristics of it which ruins the entire point of drawing attention to how often it's used.

Please don't be disingenuous when the conversation needs to be more constructive in the first place.

Please don't make light of suicide to display your confusion with the article.

It's not constructive and it's pretty juvenile.

>but that's not a guarantee that the same applies to everyone else

It's a pretty well supported statement though. This comment is better applied elsewhere in the thread however.

>The situation is pretty much dictated by supply/demand

Well that's not true. There are laws strictly regulating the supply and demand from the labor side of things.

> I started using it years ago and it was fine.

You are not a full blown development team, and beta software works for many people. That doesn't mean it's ready for prime time.
