Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

ardent cyberlibertarianism critic David Golumbia died yesterday morning. His loathing for orange site style dweebery could kill a cow at 20 paces. (davidgerard.co.uk)

the orange site instantly proved David’s research correct on contact by doing their best to misrepresent his views, and when that transparently failed (seriously, see how obvious it is that none of them engaged with the work), they decided to flag the post to death instead

hacker news posters remind me a lot of vantablack paint because they use a lot of technology to absolutely fail to reflect (and they’re also owned by assholes)
