Fully agreed. It's also that the interesting stuff quickly falls off the front page, and you have to go to https://news.ycombinator.com/active to find it.

"Social media" is such a wide and vague term. We're basically banning people from talking to each other.

If Reddit is "social media", so is HN.

To me, Google switched the "Evil bit" around the time of the Dragonfly debacle (2018)

Gobsmacked to learn that this was originally developed on the Apple II. I always thought of PoP as a 16-bit type of game.

Reminded of Dan Luu's post on the Normalization of Deviance (2015, https://danluu.com/wat/)

Interesting to see the deep-dive on "younger car drivers", but not a pip about the old-age drivers. Yet we see from chart 1 that their casualty rate is far worse!

If it's confirmed that Altman's played the Koreans against each other, it's going to cause a furore in Korea.
