You guys are huge cock suckers... You just upvoted a database leaking millions of people's phone number but when somebody posts Zuck's phone number... Oh no! You should delete that.
He's not a king guys.
He's not a king guys.
You guys need to go out more, since women are more than OK when people swear, you're not talking to toddlers here.
Now, this is a comment, not a fucking essay or interview (haha PG fucked up really bad huh? So bad he's gonna have a women only conference).
Now I sound like a troll, so I'll shut up, but seriously, women are OK with swearing (that includes all George Carlin's 7 words).
The leaked database: doesn't have full phone numbers and I don't think it should have been posted either -- I didn't upvote it.
Nobody should have their personal contact details posted against their wishes. I do not particularly care about Mark Zuckerberg.
i posted a joke on a comment of someone going "This. A million times this." the other day cuz that is the most melodramatic, overused, annoying, lame textual meme... the joke was pretty innocuous & immediately got like 5 downvotes.
I don't mean to hate too hard cuz it is what it is, i dont care about my karma, & obv its good enough that i still read articles here but posters being annoying/hypocritical/oversensitive/humourless/feeling that they are the protectors of society... very common on HN. I think it is some facet of the nature of people thinking they are real sophisticated by reading HN for some odd reason (basing this on all the wannabe devs I know on social sites who make it a point to mention it constantly in posts like "my fav sites to procrastinate on"), whereas there are lots of higher-level programming communities out there who seem to have less of this self-seriousness.
that said, occasionally there is that nice moment of a few reasonable people chatting each other & introducing to tech they may have otherwise overlooked. I'm heavy into Clojure & the other day a Lisper on here pointed me to freenode to get community help rather than SO, for example. It's all percentages, I guess :-/
Not society, just the SNR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio).
i understand it as a way for SNR sure, but mostly its just a way to fade the text of people you disagree with. it doesn't solve much for people who can skim, & it usually just makes me more curious about what got downvoted (some of the comments are very insightful but just pissed off those with normative opinion)
im just not into kool-aid drinking & the weird PG (harhar no pun intended) vibe of HN while downvoting & having this weird karma system smacks of lame culty passive aggression, which incidentally is much more offensive to me than actual aggression
i didnt want to come of as indignant tho, its just a funny coincidence. you never quite know who you are condescending to on here
