Are you referring to the thing that literally says, in very large font, “This is not a paywall”? The one with a large, easily clickable X in the upper-right corner that dismisses it with no payment required?

But first we’d need to develop four dimensional solar panels
And?
> i also said, it is the internet and people will do that because famous people are... famous... and if there's an AI video of a famous person that I do like, i will give it a like.
Essentially: it happens a lot so it must be OK. Lovely morals.
> if Robin Williams was some guy who worked as a cashier at Trader Joe's his whole life nobody would care
People don't care about a random murder victim as much as they care about Rob Reiner; murder is still wrong and deplorable.
> maybe Robin Williams should have never been an actor then he'd be unknown to the masses, like 99% of us on HN
Whiny bullshit.
No, they really don't.
HN posters when the topic is H1b visas or outsourcing: Meritocracy is horrible and I reject it!
Two wrongs do not, in fact, make a right.
The lesser of two evils is still, in fact, evil.
Be a better person.
(Of course, that doesn't capture the full story either -- before '92, white blue collar workers were already abandoning the Democrats to support Reagan while he and the Republicans gutted private sector unions.)
Based on what, exactly? Judging by the fact that Uber preemptively offered a $10m settlement, it seems like they did not exactly believe that they had a strong case.
So did Canada, and Trump wiped his ass with the deal the moment he needed a distraction from another scandal. Canada is lucky to have leadership that understands the next "deal" will be equally disposable to America.
Have you tried asking your questions in Arabic?
(Partially joking here, but partially serious as well -- I wonder how well these guardrails work against different languages)
(Edit: Or better yet, just rewrite the headline entirely! But I'd maintain that "Are" is the wrong choice as-is.)
Plus, the token costs involved should be pretty low! (Other costs may not be.)
To be clear: I do not have the time or energy to back this up statistically, but my experience is that you are substantially more likely to choose to get involved in threads/comments that challenge startup culture than you are in threads/comments that embrace bigotry, conspiracy theories, and other genuinely appalling content.
Edit: To elaborate a bit and put a final touch on this before I call it a night, the problem isn't that I see you condemning comments like this; it's that I rarely-to-never see you condemning substantially worse comments. It seems to communicate a clear choice to allow repugnant behavior as long as it doesn't criticize startup culture/founder worship.
It's telling that I see far worse HN comments on a daily basis that don't warrant a finger-wagging condemnation from you.
