I don't know if I agree with this generalization...
Are you arguing that success is in the eye of the stakeholder? Sounded to me like it was a success.
Don't normalize harassment.
hmm... you might be on a different part of reddit than I am.
Excellent takeaway.
> It's not amazing that we amaze ourselves.
This realization is super assuring with the complexity of the discoveries broadcast on HackerNews. Sometimes it's overwhelming, but now I can think of it as a sort of... scale.
> Science and all that
Really sounds like you chose MIT. You know there's a part in there where they acknowledge climate change? That's pretty important.
> Social Justice Rhetoric on HN.
Again, really hard to take you seriously.
It's been difficult to take anyone seriously that has a problem with people they label as "Social Justice Warriors". Also, this isn't the sort of rhetoric I enjoy seeing on HN.
It's important to note that they also specifically called out the President-Elect for his Climate-Denying statements.
Him being racist – and a denier – make this incredibly important.
Why is this important? They are in a position of scientific authority, and they are opposing a position of government authority. He is incorrect, he is ascending to power, and this sets their authority against his authority.
This is about who you trust for your information and who will help shape your opinion. An esteemed educational institution, or a racist demagogue? Sounds to me like you've already made your choice.
I can't tell if this is serious or not, but this continues to make me chuckle.
A lot of this stuff is kind of... exaggerated. There's no real metrics except for these "small piece of day" x "five days a week" to make it seem dramatic. Not much value in this post.
This is a gross misunderstanding of how the internet works.
