Would you please stop posting flamebait and/or unsubstantive comments to HN? You've done it a lot, unfortunately, and we eventually ban that sort of account.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.



It’s crudely put certainly but it’s not entirely a point without merit https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/28/technology/ibm-india.html

IBM Now Has More Employees in India Than in the U.S.

It makes sense for a company to have a CEO familiar with its most significant business units.


Comments have a higher bar to clear than "entirely without merit" to be good for HN.

Your post here, by contrast, is just fine.


No, THIS comment was flamebait:

Another Indian-born tech CEO? It's incredible. IBM joins Microsoft, Google, Adobe, Nokia, and Harman in this regard. Also, MasterCard and PepsiCo (until 2018). I wonder how much it's a cultural thing.

That's basically racist.

It's clear that this entire thread was commented on due to the race of the CEO.

In that context, my comment is richly deserved on this thread.

If you don't like it, ban me. Yes I read n-gate.com, I know what the prevailing ethos and fake virtue signalling of this site's readership is.

I'm sure the unsubstantive flamebait posts you mostly refer to are my economic ones, again which contradict the Ayn Rand "entrepeneurs are god and can do no wrong" of this site.

Just don't be a coward and shadowban me.
