We're all of us speeding towards a cliff that ends in environmental disaster.

And if you point that out, you get downvoted to invisibility on Hacker News and elsewhere.

Randy Meisner was not trying "to" love again. Usage settled.

Bill Atkinson and Andy Hertzfeld were my childhood heroes through their work. Inside Macintosh was a series that enlightened my teen years. Thanks, Bill.

Please don't spike this as political. If U.S. democracy breaks down, as this event portends, it will absolutely have an effect on startups.

Reading some of the comments on the latest post from YC's immigration lawyer felt like a chilling sign of times to come.

Gary's promised a bright future after Juche.

All in on tariffs and nativism.

We are told our glorious future awaits.

But truth is, I'm the sucker.

Same people I want a check from are the ones pulling up the ladders behind them in some sort of bizarre LARP.

And he could give two shits about what questions one of his companies lawyers has to answer.

Too late. It's been flagged.

It's unfortunately political to its core, but it's absolutely relevant to all of our lives.

In my opinion, nearly all stories regarding US immigration are related to technology due to one inconvenient fact:

> 55% Of America’s Billion-Dollar Startups Have An Immigrant Founder

I would agree if one of those 55% had an immigration issue it could be HN related. But you can find stats like that to support literally anything belonging on HN.

Isn't that in fact true? Emotional or not.

No, he literally never said or even implied slurs are ok

Their new moderation training material explicitly said slurs (calling immigrants filth, calling masculine looking females trannies, etc) are ok…

No they didn't.

I thought they were a accepting slurs against trans and immigrants

Haven’t tried it yet

Came here to post exactly this. Mainly for the sample of Jo'Bril, obviously.

Asserting that there is strong evidence against a claim is not "debunking" a claim.

You're right, that was overstated. I should have just said addressed. But my word choice doesn't make the gp comment any more valid.

Agreed. The best part is that you don't need to second-guess decisions wondering whether or not the course of action is better financially for the decision-maker.

They cheated on the ethics exam, THEN they lied about their cheating.

People who went to Harvard always manage to slyly communicate they went to Harvard. Including the author of this article. Good for you, dear!

An English degree from Harvard is nearly adjacent to the trajectory of Conan O'Brien. One should be so proud. This person could have written for the Lampoon.
