Hacker News Reader

I think it’s just because HN isn’t really a community that has many consistent themes/cohesion. It’s very active but only on individual news items rather than across posts.

But I think if the mods could potentially put up a link for donating to something, it’d get decent traffic. I just wouldn’t expect that initiative to arise organically from the user base and get significant traction.

We're too busy spying on the world and selling the data to advertisers. That's essentially what the highest paid developers do, right?

Correct, but that's why we should find some way to offset our unethical activities.

Go ahead and do it. On Reddit, it started because some people just did it, and others followed their example.

When I was a software/web developer, I never worked with any software developers that could agree on anything.

For example: variable names

So I like your idea... but execution is going to be an issue.

The HR platform is built upon an entirely different ethic. There is no room for this behavior to grow. Thank the one without humour.
