how do you get downvoted for thinking science is cool, serious


Your original comment doesn't add anything substantive to the conversation, and would've been better served by simply upvoting the link, or other comments. It could even come off as sarcastic to certain people, it's hard to know what you're really thinking or why you find it fascinating.

In case you've never seen the guidelines, you're discouraged from talking about downvotes: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

The company I work for uses both and so far it has been ok, the gusto app has been able to show you your guideline 401k balance and some people seem to like how easy it is for them. I don't get to choose I just take the match and have my own accounts elsewhere.
