Yes. HN is one big advertisement, and the virtue signaling geeks who are so vehemently anti-ads aren’t able to recognize this.

I’ve written a book, edited the hell out of it, gotten feedback from friends, etc (I think it’s pretty good!) and have tried reaching out to literary agents (this is what the trad route recommends). So far about 0/20. Any tips here? I’m located in NYC fwiw.

Did you read the article? Who owns Mario? Nintendo owns Mario, full stop. Your argument completely eschews the legal system of which modern society depends on to function as effectively as it does. There’s a reason you can’t steal other people’s work.

Hey thanks for posting this. What’s a good way to learn about successful B2B companies? All my experience is in B2C and while I can imagine some B2B ideas, a concrete set of examples would help. Btw, I went to your website on your profile and saw some examples, but would like more. Also, the hamburger menu on your website was broke for me, iPhone 13 mini Firefox

If you like 1984 you should check out “Prophet Song”, this year’s Booker winner. Makes 1984 feel like a kid’s book.

Sorry, but what’s with HN’s obsession with analogies? You see this in almost every comment section where someone tries to dis/prove a point using an analogy. I get the allure but it’s intellectually brittle; by the time someone starts to argue off the second or third incantation of the original analogy, the forest has been lost for the tree.

Please fsfe.org, I’m dying to know more about “The right not to be advertised to”

They have an advertisement begging for money at the top of the page.

You realize HN is one big smattering of advertisements, yea?

Ironically, this is an advertisement itself. And you can never ever ban ads because someone might write a comment on an internet forum noting just how delicious an ice cold can of Coke is on a hot day.

Where is it stated exactly that privacy is a core, natural right? Not in the Constitution, though the 4th suggests it. It’s not part of the natural order, I don’t think (most stuff is out in the open). I’m not saying I think privacy is bad or people deserve to have their info out in the open, I just don’t understand why people feel such a right to it, or where governance — natural or man-made — dictates it.

Unfortunately NYC is still in a horse era with these beasts strapped to carriages towing tourists around Central Park, smelling like a fucking barn, kicking hay filled shit particles in the air on a hot summer day, just so the slob of a horse pimp can make a buck? TheFuckOuttaHere!!

Nothing tastes better than a steak after a good leg day Bob

Cocaine and gummy bears

less is more and tone is everything

Sarah Connor was right!

A ball went in a hole, and a camera was recording it.

That’s it folks, corrections officers and prisoners are more friendly/outgoing than most of us tech workers. Fuck every single one of us

Not OP but my read is that at some point we just tax the fuck out of the tech gods who “win”, creating UBI for the rest

Homeboy who wrote this is a little too obsessed with Bru if you ask me

for the lolz

It’s almost as if these companies have a strategy to grow their business.

I agree, this Lex guy is such a dud.

And never, ever recommend me a movie with Tom Hanks in it.

innocent little lamb

Now please have the SF Giants remove their Cruise badge advertisement from their jerseys. What an embarrassment.

Yes, let’s bring religion back into schools. And for god sakes, cover up those legs!

Don’t wast your time with this shit

Interesting use of Raymond Carver’s short story title “What we talk about when we talk about love”, which was also the background play in Birdman. If you haven’t read any Carver, treat yoself.
